    Food Noise Isn't Just Happening to You — Here's How to Take Back Control

    Book a Free Clarity Call Here  Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, the thoughts, cravings, and urges about food just won't stop? That's food noise — and if you've ever felt powerless against it, this episode will give you your power back. So many women regain weight after weight loss surgery not because their pouch failed, but because the food noise never got quiet. They believe the noise is louder than their willpower, they feel like giving in is the only option, and they're disappointed to find that surgery didn't erase the chatter in their head. But here's what I want you to understand: food noise isn't just happening to you. It's something you're creating — through thoughts, emotions, and habits — and that means you also have the power to quiet it. In this episode, I'll break down what food noise really is, why surgery doesn't solve it, and how learning to manage it is a crucial part of the transformational journey. You'll walk away with a new perspective that puts you back in control, so you can lose the regain, follow your plan without the tug-of-war, and finally feel peace around food again.   Because you deserve freedom. You deserve peace. And you deserve to love food and love your life.

    "I Just Love Food Too Much"- Why that thought keeps you stuck after WLS

    Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I just love food too much"? If you've struggled with weight regain after weight loss surgery (WLS), you're not alone. Many women carry this belief — and I've said it myself. But here's the tough truth: when "loving food" becomes your identity, it can quietly sabotage your success after bariatric surgery. Weight loss surgery can change your stomach, but it doesn't change your brain. That's why so many post-op patients still struggle with food noise, emotional eating, and slider foods like chips, ice cream, or soft breads. These habits slip around restriction, leading to grazing, overeating, and eventually weight regain. In this episode, I'll share: Why simply "loving food" isn't the real problem. How your identity around food is formed — and why surgery can't fix it. The hidden connection between food obsession, emotional eating, and WLS regain. How to reframe your identity so you can enjoy food without losing control.   By the end, you'll see that you don't have to choose between loving food and living a healthy, confident life after bariatric surgery. You can enjoy food and stay in control — and I'll show you how to start. Click here if you are ready to book your Free Clarity Call
