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 open your fridge and know exactly what to eat this week—no second-guessing, no stress.

You feel in control of your hunger instead of controlled by it.

You check your phone and see a supportive message from someone who gets it.

You hop on a call, ask your question, and finally get clear answers from a dietitian.

Your jeans zip up with ease.

You’re proud of yourself and the effort you’re putting in.

And you get all this not because you were perfect—but because you stayed connected and consistent.

That’s what the Bariatric Meal Prep Academy makes possible.

Simple food. Dietitian guidance. Encouraging community.

And most importantly—lasting progress.

This is for you if…

  • You’re wondering, “Is this normal?” or “Am I doing this right?”
  • You’ve regained weight (or are afraid you will) and want a shame-free reset.
  • You’re busy and want meals that are simple, not stressful.
  • You’re tired of piecing together advice from TikTok, Facebook groups, and guesswork.
  • You want more variety—without spending hours in the kitchen.
  • You want support that’s steady and makes you feel seen, not judged.

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.

“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!"

Meet the Dietitian Behind
Bariatric Meal Prep Academy

Hi, I’m Kristin Willard—Bariatric Dietitian and Coach.

I help people navigate life after bariatric surgery with simple strategies that lead to long-term success. My style is straightforward, realistic, and centered around building habits that stick. That means doable meal prep, flexible nutrition, and mindset shifts that help you stay on track without being perfect.

Over the past ten years, I’ve worked with more than a thousand pre- and post-op clients to create sustainable routines that support their goals and their lives.

The Bariatric Meal Prep Academy brings together everything I’ve learned as a dietitian, coach, and guide—and I can’t wait to welcome you in.

Here’s what I created for you:

  • A plan that feels manageable, even during busy weeks
  • Confidence in your food choices and routines
  • Tools to navigate cravings and real-world eating
  • Clothes that fit again (and feel good)
  • Progress that doesn’t feel punishing
  • Support that’s flexible, but always here

Do you want that too?

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.”
