Jamie Mills , RDN, CD-N (aka “The Sleeved Dietitian”) on Breaking Plateaus and Maximizing Nutrition After Bariatric Surgery
Manage episode 457201978 series 3451144
Despite what anyone says, bariatric surgery is NOT the easy way out. Much like GLP-1 medications, it’s just a tool. To truly succeed, you need a full toolbelt—one that helps you overcome restriction, food guilt, fear of failure, and the uncertainty of how to eat post-surgery. The good news? You don’t have to navigate it alone. With the right education, support, and resources, you can create the post-op life you’ve always dreamed of.
In this episode, Jamie Mills, aka The Sleeved Dietitian, shares her inspiring journey of overcoming PCOS, a lifelong struggle with weight, and how bariatric surgery helped her achieve lasting change. After undergoing VSG in 2017, Jamie lost over 135 lbs and gained a new life, but she quickly realized that post-op support was seriously lacking. Now, as an award-winning registered dietitian nutritionist, Jamie is closing that gap and empowering women to thrive after surgery.
Listen in to hear Jamie’s top protein hacks for busy people, her secret to busting through plateaus (spoiler: it’s about adding more, not less!), and why the restrictive post-op diet isn’t meant to last forever. She explains how to transition into a sustainable way of eating while embracing empathy and understanding throughout the weight loss journey.
