Busy Bariatrics Hi! I'm Rob I had Bariatric surgery in June of 2020 and want to help you create your best self!

This is what every day looks like.

Not the highlight reel.

Not the montage they put music over.

The actual day.

The alarm before the excuses start.

The shoes on before your brain catches up.

The showing up when nothing in you wants to.

People ask me how I stay consistent.

The answer isn't pretty.

I stopped treating the gym like something I earned on a good day.

I started treating it like something I owed myself every day.

Not because I always feel like it.

Because the version of me that feels like it didn't build himself.

The version that went anyway did.

Surgery changed my stomach.

It didn't change the alarm.

It didn't change the empty parking lot at 5am.

It didn't change the fact that showing up still has to be a decision you make before you feel ready.

Every day.

Not when motivation shows up.

Every day.

That's not discipline.

That's a promise you keep to yourself so many times it stops being a question.

Comment HIVE and I'll send you what's inside the Busy Bariatrics community.

We don't sit in our issues.

We just keep getting busy.

Polenta pizza.

I know.

Bear with me.

This one is way outside my usual rotation, but that's kind of the point.

More isn't better.

Better is better.

And sometimes better looks like swapping the dough for something you didn't see coming.

Here's why the spinach matters.

Most bariatric patients are running low on iron, folate, and magnesium without realizing it.

Spinach hits all three.

It also packs more protein per calorie than most people expect from a vegetable.

One cup cooked lands around 5 grams.

That's not nothing when you're working to hit your numbers.

Add the bacon for the fat and flavor your brain is actually looking for.

Add the polenta base for a slow-digesting carb that won't spike and crash you.

This is what eating for your goals looks like when you stop making food weird.

We drop a dozen recipes like this into our email list every single month.

Real food.

Real life.

Nothing that requires a culinary degree or an hour you don't have.

DM me EMAIL and I'll send you the link to get on the list.

Apparently, a little rain is enough to make grown adults abandon goals they swore were important.
Cute.
I walked into it anyway.
Because your bariatric journey will rarely fall apart during a full-blown catastrophe. Most people give up when life becomes mildly annoying.
The schedule changes.�Dinner isn’t planned.�Monday’s workout gets missed.�The scale takes longer than Monday-Wednesday check-in.
Then one imperfect day becomes a lost week, followed by another dramatic declaration that it’s “time to start over.”
You do not need another fresh start.
You need to stop treating inconvenience like an emergency.
Track the protein on the hard day.�Take the walk when the weather sucks.�Do the shorter workout when 30 minutes is all you have.�Make the next reasonable choice without waiting for Monday to perform its imaginary magic.
Consistency does not require perfect conditions.
It requires you to keep the promise after the conditions change.
Your reasons may be completely valid. They still cannot become your entire strategy.
DM me WEBINAR and I’ll send you the replay showing exactly how we teach bariatric patients to stop starting over and build habits that survive real life.
Drop a 🌧️ below and tell me what you kept doing this week, even when life made it inconvenient.

If you're the oldest child...

You didn't just grow up first.

You were the proof of concept.

The trial run.

The "okay we figured it out, let's go again."

Your parents looked at you and said absolutely.

More of this.

Let's do it again.

You were so compelling they doubled down.

Some of you are out here carrying the weight of the whole family birth order and you didn't even get a thank you.

You got a sibling.

You're welcome, by the way.

Back to school season is here.

Which means the routines that kept you on track all summer are about to get tested.

Early mornings.

Packed lunches.

Practices and pickups and seventeen things happening at once.

And dinner, somehow, still has to happen.

This is exactly why we built the September guide.

Real recipes you can prep ahead, pull together fast, and actually feel good about putting on the table after a long day.

Because busy is not an excuse to stop showing up for yourself.

It's the reason you need a better system.

The September guide is coming to my email list first.

DM me for the link to subscribe.

Free.

No strings.

Just food that actually fits your life, even during the chaos of back to school.

Most people come home from bariatric surgery with a binder full of rules and zero idea what to do when their brain hasn't caught up to their body.

They know the protein goals.

They know the water.

They know what the doctor said.

And somewhere around month three, they realize the surgery changed their stomach.

It didn't change the habits, patterns, and behaviors they've been running on for years.

That's where the real work starts.

This week on the podcast, I sat down with my good friend Stephanie from and we went deep on the first months after bariatric surgery.

Two type-A, strategy-obsessed people who both learned the hard way that you can't out-plan an identity that hasn't changed yet.

We got into the moments that surprised us.

The things nobody warned us about.

And why the patients who struggle most in those early months aren't failing because they lack discipline.

They're struggling because they're using the same coping mechanisms, the same all-or-nothing thinking, and the same patterns that got them to surgery in the first place.

The sleeve is not a reset button.

It's a starting line.

Go find "GLP-1's and Bariatrics for Busy People" wherever you listen to podcasts.

"I know what to do. I just can't seem to do it consistently."

That's self-sabotage running the show.

And tonight at Summer Camp, Connie is breaking down exactly why it keeps happening.

The same patterns.

The same cycle.

The same starting over.

Connie was the very first guest I ever brought into Summer Camp.

And her book, Weight Loss Surgery Does Not Cure Your Addiction to Food, is one of the reasons I coach the way I do.

Because she said out loud the thing nobody else was willing to say.

Surgery changes your stomach.

It does not automatically change the habits, patterns, and behaviors that were running your life before you walked into that operating room.

If you've ever eaten something and asked yourself why you keep doing this when you know better, tonight's conversation is going to hit different.

Connie isn't going to shame you.

She's going to help you see what's actually happening.

And more importantly, what to do about it.

Join us inside The Hive for as little as $150 a month and get access to tonight's call plus everything we've built for busy bariatric patients.

DM me SUMMER and I'll send you the details.

This is what hard feels like.

Not what you hoped it would feel like.

Not what the before-and-after post made it look like.

Hard.

Every person you see in a gym who looks like they have it figured out?

They feel the hunger too.

They feel the fatigue too.

They feel the zero-motivation Tuesday morning too.

The difference isn't that it got easier for them.

The difference is they stopped waiting for it to get easier.

You expected this not to be hard.

That's the thing nobody tells you after bariatric surgery.

Surgery changes your stomach.

It doesn't change how heavy the weights feel.

It doesn't change how loud the couch calls your name.

It doesn't change the fact that showing up still has to be a decision you make before you feel ready.

Hard is the cost of entry.

For everyone.

Not just you.

The hunger is real.

The fatigue is real.

The voice that says "maybe tomorrow" is real.

So is the version of you that goes anyway.

That version gets built one hard session at a time.

Not when you feel like it.

In the reps you do when motivation isn't home.
