Hello Everyone!
I’m thrilled to announce that we are staring a new recognition program right here in THIS group!!
This month we’re excited to celebrate @mirvettesanchez & @nashay-1967 as both have been selected because they are incredibly consistent with following the program, consistent with working towards achieving their goals and have been sharing nothing but inspiration and support when interacting right here in the group!
We asked both to share a nugget of hope, something that’s helped them along their way so here’s what they have to say:
@mirvettesanchez offers the following words of advice to those out there walking the Bariatric Eating journey with her:
“The support group has provided so much more valuable information on a daily basis during the challenges and taking the time to read, digest the post, do the homework and listen to the a ...
@nashay-1967 would like to share the following words of inspiration with you all: “The one thing that helped me out since joining the premium support group has been the admins and BE members in the group. The admins are really good at giving advice and direction on my journey. They are brutally honest which I appreciate, knowing it's not done out of spite but I feel they generally care about everyone of us because they are going through it right with us, no matter what stage of the process we are at. I love the feeling of family with the other members as well. There's no shame nor blame just encouragement and accountability. I'm so grateful for taking that leap of faith and really joining this group. “
And for a bit of fun! As a part of our Member of the Month celebration we’re sending both a bag of our upcoming summer flavors! @mirvettesanchez & @nashay-1967 will both receive a bag of Inspire Banana Split & Inspire Brambleberry this week before they officially launch!
So please take some time to Congratulate both of these awesome members…and don’t worry we’ll do this again in June, I can’t wait to celebrate YOU!
We've had a ton of new people join us since the last time we did one of these!
In the comments below introduce yourself with these three facts about YOU:
1) Your name
2) Are you a cat person or dog person?
3) Favorite Inspire Flavor or food.

(notice there's not a WEIGHT LOSS NUMBER there...there's a ...
If you've been doing our March Inspire Diet Challenge you know that one of your daily tasks on each check-in is to weigh yourself.
There's a few reasons we've discussed before, and on our website (this article: https://www.bariatriceating.com/blogs/bariatric-advice-and-support/the-scale-friend-or-enemy ) but there's a bigger reason than the truly important getting to know your body.
It's to make peace with what your MIND seems to think will happen when you start losing weight again.
You see one of the biggest things that no one talks about, and trips EVERYONE up is that during our initial stages as a post op we are dropping a pond or more DAILY. Now we've said this before and we'll say it again, no matter how hard you are working that first year it's not YOU it's the surgery. People here who couldn't get to goal, and those to got to goal and regained can attest to the fact that your Surgery is driving the bus for at least the firs year, and if you're lucky the first year and a half.
So by ...
We get it....every now and then we all need a fresh start.
Listen to this if you are struggling but ready to get on track TODAY!
Just a reminder that as of Friday August 20th this fantastic group is now at it's forever home on our main website this completes our vision for what support group can be. It will be all you love about THIS group….in a way nicer location you’re already familiar with.
If you are just checking in after a few days, don't feel bad just come join us there!
There are a few things to note:
- The new Premium Group uses your BariatricEating.com store log in information, so there’s NO need to create a new identity!
- Once you log into our new group you will be required to agree to and pay for a $5 membership fee. In exchange for this you’ll be offered $10 Bariatric Eating.com coupon every month you remain a member.
- We will be closing the doors here by the end of September to give everyone the chance to transition.
- Since we made this shift mid-month we have a special coupon just for YOU here that has been posted there...so there's money on the table for you when you come join us!
