Significant weight loss is achievable, giving you more energy, reduced health issues, improved self esteem, and the chance at a new way of life.

A little goes a long way!

After surgery, managing portion sizes can make a big difference to your weight loss journey.

Here are our top tips to help with portion control:
🧊 Use ice-cube trays to create small portions of soups and sauces
🍽️ Serve meals on smaller plates
🍴 Eat with the smallest cutlery you have – this naturally slows down eating
🥡 Use small-sized containers for meal prep
🥗 Serve your own meals, and try to avoid being the last to serve – that way you won't take extra to finish the bowl
🚙 Take leftovers to-go when eating out instead of trying to finish oversized portions

Small changes like these can make healthy habits more achievable, stress-free and sustainable.

Did you know that what you eat can influence your mood?

Research shows that a diet rich in fruit, veggies, legumes, wholegrains, seafood, rather than processed meals is linked with up to 35% lower risk of depression.

Spring produce is back in season, so here are a few mood-boosting snacks to add to your diet:

🥦 Broccoli, carrots, zucchini, asparagus & corn
🥭 Mangos, apples, strawberries & mandarines

👻 Halloween = lollies everywhere! 🎃

Whether you’ve got kids bringing home buckets of sweets or you just find yourself surrounded by Halloween treats in the workplace, it can be really hard to stay on track after weight loss surgery.

Manage the sugar cravings by keeping lollies and junk food out of sight — or better yet, give them away once the celebrations are over. And stock up on nourishing swaps so you’re not caught off guard:
🍓 Fresh fruit like strawberries or cut up watermelon
🥣 Protein pudding
🧊 Sugar-free jelly and icy poles
🥄 Greek yoghurt

Remember — it’s normal to crave a treat, but planning ahead and setting up your environment makes it much easier to stay on track with your goals 💪

“The team have been great. Always available for any help I've needed and super encouraging.

The journey has been the hardest and most rewarding leap I have ever taken. I am participating in things I've only ever spectated, and I've regained my life and more.

With the help of the team, I have created new healthy habits and a lifestyle I'm proud to raise my children in.

Now I will live longer and better, and for the first time in my adult life, I can truly say I love myself.”

Sometimes the hardest journeys lead to the most rewarding transformations. Weight loss surgery isn’t just about the surgery itself. It’s about the ongoing support, the lifestyle changes, and the people who help you every step of the way.

Brb trying to hit our 10K steps 🏃

Getting those steps in can be tough when you’re juggling work, sleep and time with the people you love.

New research shows that you actually don’t need to reach 10K to see the health benefits of a more active lifestyle.

Just 7000 steps per day is linked with real, meaningful improvements in health outcomes – that’s only about two hours of walking throughout the whole day.

Every step counts towards better health, so even if you can’t reach 7000 steps, it’s about being consistent and improving every day!

Supplements aren’t as overwhelming as they may seem!

After weight loss surgery, it can be harder to get all the nutrients you need from food alone.

Supplements help prevent deficiencies, keep your energy up and support your body to stay on track while you focus on the next step of your journey.

Annalie is here to give you the run-down on protein, nutrients, and what’s on offer at the clinic.
