Why You Keep Reaching for Food After Bariatric Surgery, Even When You Know You Shouldn’t #bariatric

After bariatric surgery, you can know exactly, exactly why you walked into the pantry and still do it again tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day. When I coach my clients on how to stop doing this and get control over food, there's 2 separate skills they have to learn. Number one, awareness and recognizing the pattern. Second is retrieving a response in their brain on how to stop it while the urge and the need for relief are still active. Awareness gives us incredibly useful information, but it does not automatically make a different response, get your brain to do something different at 5:30 PM, at 7 PM, 9 PM, 10 PM. Actually, as the day goes on, it's harder. Now, insight, that names the pattern. When we practice it, that makes a response available. If you want to replace an old habit, you have to practice the new habit over and over and over so The old pattern is replaced by the new one. If you're struggling with food noise or old habits after bariatric surgery, hit the follow button. I teach you the things that nobody else does to help you stop it and stop it for good.
