"Reactive Eating"
Ever catch yourself saying things like:
“I listen to my body and eat when I’m hungry,”
“I’m not hungry until lunch - just coffee in the morning,” or
“I get starving and end up grabbing fast food or a gas station snack”?

That’s reactive eating. Reactive eating happens when we wait until our body is screaming for calories. At that point, we’re not choosing what fuels us best - we’re choosing what’s fast and available. 🚗💨

This cycle is one of the biggest reasons people struggle to hit their protein goals. Planning ahead (even a little) helps you eat proactively, support your energy, and stay in control of your nutrition all day long. 💪🥗

“The dirty little secret” of weight-loss meds?
Unlike expensive and profitable GLP-1 medications, the cheapest effective option—phentermine—gets zero ad dollars. It’s generic, affordable, and can work great for the right patient under real medical supervision… but you’ll rarely see it promoted next to pricey GLP-1s.

At JourneyLite, we break down results, costs, and safety—and why controlled-substance meds like phentermine should be managed by an experienced team (not a 60-second survey and a telehealth visit).

Early Post-Op vs. Long-Term: Your Bariatric Nutrition Blueprint 🧭
One of the biggest myths after weight-loss surgery is that the “food rules” never change. They do—and they should.

Early post-op (weeks–months):
• 5–6 mini-meals every 2–3 hrs
• Protein first (20–30g/meal) + slow bites, 20–30 min/meal
• Separate fluids from meals to reduce reflux/dumping

Long-term (months–years):
• 3 meals + 1–2 planned snacks (ditch the grazing)
• Spread protein evenly all day
• Choose fiber-rich carbs, pair with protein, avoid liquid calories
• Finish eating 2–3 hrs before bed

🔁 The goal shifts from healing → habit protection. Structure isn’t punishment—it’s self-care. If meeting goals feels harder, your strategy probably needs an update, not more willpower.

💚 74 pounds down—and a lifetime ahead. 💚

Procedure: Gastric Sleeve
Surgeon: Dr. James Augusta
JourneyLite Patient | Surgery: September 2024

“I’ve lived in a larger body for as long as I can remember. My weight became part of my identity—even when I didn’t want it to be.

For years, I tried to make progress on my own. Choosing gastric sleeve surgery at JourneyLite became the tool that finally helped me move forward. Cravings are quieter, my routine is steadier, and I’m learning how to care for myself consistently. I feel lighter—physically and emotionally—and I’m building a lifestyle I can maintain.

The JourneyLite team supported me every step of the way. The calls, texts, and virtual check-ins made me feel seen, guided, and confident through every phase of the process.

The moment that changed everything for me? I’m a mom to a 9-year-old son. Years ago, we had to get off a roller coaster because the safety bar wouldn’t close. Today, that’s no longer my reality. I fit. I ride. We laugh. We make memories—without limits.

If I could go back, I wouldn’t have waited so long. Aside from becoming a mother, this has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m not at the finish line yet—but for the first time, I’m truly proud of the path I’m on.”

✨ 289 lbs → 215 lbs (74 lbs lost so far)
✨ More energy. More confidence. More life.

Feeling “good” or “bad” based on what you ate or how much you moved? Nah—that just makes you human. 💚

Eating off-plan or moving less isn’t failure. Success is how gently—and confidently—you come back to your routines. This week, pause and jot down 3 habits that supported you before the holidays. Start there. Restart with intention, not guilt. You’ve done it before—you can absolutely do it again. We’ve got your back. 🙌
