Jessica Lawson explains that bariatric surgery shrinks your stomach but doesn't change your brain's learned patterns around food. Persistent cravings aren't a surgery failure, they're a separate problem that needs mental and behavioral strategies. She's running a free workshop to help identify what's driving the noise and manage it.

If bariatric surgery changed how much you can eat, but food is still taking up too much space in your head, that does not mean that you failed anything. Doesn't mean that you failed your surgery. Here's what it does mean, is that the surgery only changed your stomach. It did not automatically give your brain a new response to stress, exhaustion, the routines that still end in food. None of that changes because of surgery. That is exactly what I teach you how to do in my free live workshop. The Food Noise Workshop, we're gonna identify what might be driving the pull and help you pick a move and a tool that you can actually use whenever the noise gets loud.
