For many people, the real challenge begins after recovery—and it usually looks like one of two things:

➡️ Lost, overwhelmed, or worried about regaining

Recovery is starting (or maybe you’re a few months in), but you’re unsure what to eat, when to eat, or how to keep making progress. You want to do it right—but you’re confused, and worried that hunger or cravings might pull you back into old patterns you’ve worked hard to change.

➡️ Off track and ready to reset

You started off so strong during recovery and lost weight, but then old habits started to creep back in like nighttime eating and mindless eating. You noticed your weight creeping back up and you want structure to feel in control again. But you’re tired of Googling and getting overwhelmed with conflicting advice.

Either way, you’re in the right place and you don’t need to do this all on your own! Let’s get you back on track with support that makes sense.

Now imagine this...

You know exactly what to focus on because you have a plan built around your goals, your challenges, and where you are right now.

You get weekly check-in and personalized feedback from a dietitian who understands bariatric surgery, GLP-1s, and the challenges that come with losing weight and keeping it off.

And when something isn’t working, you don’t have to wonder what to do next.

You have someone in your corner to help you adjust your plan and keep moving forward.

That’s what Bariatric Wellness makes possible.

Personalized guidance. Weekly accountability. Support that meets you where you are.

So you can stop starting over and start building the consistency you need to feel confident, energized, and in control of your eating.

  • You want accountability that helps you keep moving forward, even when life gets busy or things don’t go according to plan.

If you’re nodding along, this is for you.

No matter what stage you're at, I'm here to help!

Recovery Phase (0–3 months)

Ease your body into healing with soft, nourishing foods and high-protein ideas that support your recovery—without overwhelming you.

Momentum Phase (4–6 months)

You’re seeing results but want to know you’re doing it right. Build a consistent eating schedule and introduce variety with confidence.

Resilient Phase (7–18 months)

Hunger is shifting. Progress is slower. It’s time to fine-tune your habits and mindset so you keep moving toward your goals.

Commitment Phase (18+ months)

This is maintenance, real-life, long-term living. We help you stay connected to what works and reset if you feel yourself slipping.

here's what members say

“I'm a retired RN, so I had a little nutrition knowledge and as it turns out, I think I was doing a better job than the folks at my surgeons office! Finding Kristin and her program took it to a whole new level for me. I now understand how to eat, what to eat and can pretty much figure out what I need to do in most any situation.I'm so much more confident in my knowledge which gives me the tools to make great decisions with regards to eating.

Kristin is so knowledgeable and she is an awesome and creative chef! I feel like so many of her recipes she developed just for me!"

here's what members say

"I have a higher confidence and nutrition knowledge since working in the Academy. I did not cook or prep meals before bariatric surgery and this is a major part of my journey as a bariatric patient, and a healthier human.

Kristin and her team are always prompt, professional, and friendly responses to questions. They offer great alternatives (comment section on recipes) for ingredients, flavor, and shortcuts if needed.”

“I’m grateful to BMP and Kristin for always being willing to answer questions and give guidance. No question is too small and she is so quick to answer! Her guidance has been so appreciated as I learn how to use my tool of VSG and start on this new journey!”
Dorothy
"Before joining the Bariatric Meal Prep Academy, I really didn't have much knowledge on how to eat as a bariatric patient. I knew all the things that I needed to do before the surgery but needed the Bariatric Meal Prep Academy to help accomplish it.

I love the fact that Kristin and her team of dietitians have such wonderful experience and can answer all questions asked with the best possible solution. No question is ever answered in a way that makes me feel dumb for asking them. They’re so caring and even go back to follow up questions they answered previously. I could not be on this journey without their support. The lack of support from surgery centers is astonishing. I had looked into multiple outlets before joining BMP and I felt immediately connected to the community here.”
