💪 Vitamin B12 & Weight Loss: The Energy Connection
Vitamin B12 helps power your metabolism, nerves, and red blood cells — all key during weight loss!
Low B12 can leave you feeling tired and sluggish, making it harder to stay active.
After bariatric surgery, absorption often drops — so supplementation is essential.
💊 Ask your care team if you’re getting enough B12 — it’s an important piece of the long-term success puzzle!

☀️ Vitamin D: More Than Just Sunshine!
Vitamin D supports bone health, metabolism, and insulin sensitivity — so getting enough (but not too much!) is key.
As the days get shorter, SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) can creep in. Low Vitamin D levels may make symptoms worse, so check with your bariatric team to be sure you’re covered! 💊
🥗 Top Vitamin D foods:
Salmon • Trout • Tuna • Sardines • Herring • Egg yolks • Fortified dairy
👉 Aim for 1–2 servings per day.
💡 After bariatric surgery, absorption usually stays stable — unless there’s fat malabsorption, weight regain, or low calcium intake.
Stay strong, stay sunny! 🌞

🌞 Summer Check-In: Hunger or Habit? 🌞

Before you eat, pause and ask:

🛑 What’s really driving this craving—my stomach or my state of mind?

If it’s hunger → nourish your body.
If it’s habit → shift the moment with a new action.
