If you’ve undergone bariatric surgery and find yourself struggling with cravings, you’re not alone. But don’t let temporary cravings set you back from the goal you’re working to achieve! Get creative with your options, search online for healthy alternatives to your cravings, and don’t be afraid to talk to somebody about what you’re going through.
Foothills Weight Loss Specialists offer monthly support groups for our bariatric patients. This can give you an outlet to vent, share your experiences, and hear about how other people going through the same things you are. You can find a list of upcoming support group meetings online.
