PREPARING FOR YOUR
BARIATRIC JOURNEY
1:1 Experience

Are you thinking about having bariatric weight loss surgery and need support with a S.H.I.F.T?

  • S: Support & Exploration
    - There will be a co-created, safe space with folx who are going through a similar journey. - A space to ask questions, express concerns, and process the information you will receive about your surgery. - A space to feel validated and affirmed, as this process can be challenging! Having a space to have your authentic experience while processing your feelings can be invaluable.
  • H: Honoring Your Why
    - It is assumed that having bariatric surgery is the easy way out....quite the contrary. A decision to have a major surgery is not one to be taken lightly, especially one that is going to change the way that you engage your health. - It is important to look within and explore why you’re making the decision. - I want you to leave, standing firm in your decision and minimizing the negative self-talk or limiting beliefs that may come from the opinions of others.
  • I: Informed
    - As a person who has experienced bariatric surgery, it was helpful to hear other people’s journeys while keeping in mind that every experience is different. - By knowing what to limit (as far as things you ingest), things to bring with you to the hospital, and/or preparing your support system/environment for this big undertaking. - Acknowledging that it’s a change taking place on more than a physical level, but mental, emotional, spiritual, etc.
  • F: Finding Your Community
    - In this co-created space, it will encourage forming bonds with folx because they’ll understand on a level that someone who hasn’t gone through it, cannot. - The ability to share resources, successes, and challenges. - Building friends and family who you get to choose!
  • T: Tips & Tricks For Your Toolbox
    - You’ll receive resources, suggestions, recipes, etc. - Highlighting and celebrating your wins! - Creating and manifesting your vision for the future!
