Bariatric Coaching: Nutrition, Mindset, and Fitness Episode 197

This week Kellie and Mel talk with Laura Ballantyne, a bariatric coach who focuses on nutrition, mindset, and fitness. Laura had VSG in New Zealand in June of 2018 and is successful at losing 100% of her excess weight and keeping it off, even after a pregnancy three years post-op. Laura details her pre-op and post-op journey and how she shifted her coping mechanisms to stay on track with her new wellness lifestyle. She talks about how she learned as much as she could to help herself on her bariatric journey. Laura attributes WLS to completely changing her and her family’s life for the better. Bariatric surgery put her on a path to wellness and reinvention, and now she shares that knowledge with our community.  You can find Laura and the courses she mentioned in the podcast on Instagram. OSLP strives to educate and inform the bariatric community and those with predetermined ideas about weight loss surgery.
