Here's the science-backed strategy: protein at every meal, roughly every 3 hours. 🕐 Because your stomach is now small, you physically can't bank it all in one big hit — little and often wins. 🐢
Make it easy:

✅ Protein FIRST, before carbs & veg 🍽️

✅ Know your maths: 1 egg ≈ 6g 🥚, a Greek yoghurt ≈ 10g 🥣, 2 slices of cheese ≈ 10g 🧀

✅ Keep a shake as backup for the days food won't cooperate 🥤

✅ Track it for the first few months 📱

Myth time. 🙅 "You'll just put it all back on anyway."

Here's the fact: long-term results come from long-term support — which is
exactly why ongoing follow-up is built into the plan, not left to chance.
Surgeon, physician and dietitian, in your corner well after day one. 💙

The follow-up isn't an optional extra. It's the whole point.

Let's clear something up: you do NOT have to be Arnold Schwarzenegger. 💪😄

Here's why I keep banging on about resistance training — when you're losing weight, you want to lose fat and HANG ON to your muscle. Muscle keeps you strong, keeps your metabolism humming, and keeps you doing the things you love. Resistance training is how you protect it.

And it can be gloriously low-tech. No gym membership, no scary equipment:

🎒 Walk with a loaded backpack
🪑 Sit-to-stands out of a chair (10 of them, surprisingly humbling)
🛍️ Carry the shopping the long way to the car
🎗️ A $15 resistance band while you watch telly

Start small, build up slowly, be consistent. That's the whole secret. 🙌

"How much protein do I actually need?" 🥩📏

Let's talk numbers. International bariatric guidelines (IFSO/ASMBS/AACE) recommend a minimum of 60g of protein per day, and ideally 1.1–1.5g per kg of your ideal body weight — with some patients going up to 2.1g/kg when their dietitian advises it. 👩‍⚕️
Why so strict? In the first year after surgery you can lose up to 25% of your muscle mass 😮 — and protein is what protects it. The catch: studies show around 40% of patients don't even hit that 60g minimum. Don't be in that 40%! 💪

The number on the scale gets all the attention — but it's rarely the most
important win. 💙

For many people, the real changes show up in their health: type 2 diabetes,
sleep apnoea, blood pressure, joints and mobility, and day-to-day energy. That's
the part that quietly changes everything. ⚡

This is about health, not just size.

The question people are almost too nervous to ask: "Am I even a candidate?" 🤔

Here's the honest answer — eligibility is about far more than a single number on
a chart. Your health history, how previous attempts have gone, and what you're
hoping for all matter. The only way to really know is to look at the whole
picture together. 💙

Monday. New year. New plan. How many "day ones" have there been? 💭

You've started over enough times. Make this the last first step — not another
restart you white-knuckle alone, but a different approach with a team beside you
the whole way. 💙

The hardest part is deciding to begin. The rest, you don't do by yourself.
