March 14 - 18th on BariAftercare

This week I’ll be talking about the last two of the list I’ve been sharing on predictors for sustained weight loss. Keep in mind that the ultimate goal following bariatric surgery is to maintain your weight loss and live a healthier, fuller life.

We’ll talk about the importance of autonomy and taking full responsibility for your own choices related to food, exercise and lifestyle. It’s nice to have people with you on the journey and to support you. The ultimate truth is, however, that no one but you can make the healthy food and behavior choices that need to be made to get the weight off and keep the weight off!

Autonomy means making your own decisions and acting in a way that you choose to behave. As an adult, you have the right to make your own decisions and as a healthy adult, you will (hopefully) make responsible choices that support your health. We’ll talk about all that “adulting” on this week’s videos!
