Show Notes
Welcome back to Season Two of Bariatric Yarns! In this season I read you the book I wrote after my first year of weight loss surgery, titled "An Unexpected Journey". Chapter by chapter, I will share what I wrote in December 2020, reflecting on the year since my surgery in December 2019 - and then I will reflect on these writings. Now that I'm into my third-year post-WLS many things have changed and I'd love to give you an insight into what that looks like for me. Chapter 1 is all about what led to me making the decision to get WLS!
ENJOY! So happy to be back.

Wow, the final chapters! We have made it to the end of an unexpected journey. These chapters cover life beyond weight loss surgery, undieting (intuitive and mindful eating) and levelling up.
In these chapters, we cover top tips and struggles from pre-op right through to my 12-month mark and having a system to support you, including visualisation, consistency and understanding the true nature of the journey.
