🔨 GLP 1 medications can be an amazing tool for some people but the real success comes from knowing how to use that tool effectively (AND knowing when it’s not the tool for you!)

Do NOT attempt this at home 🤪
Thankfully I work in an area with excellent providers who do understand this but it’s far too common for patients to feel shamed because of this disease. That has to stop! 🛑

@Starbucks will soon offer two ways to get added protein in their drinks.
☕️ protein lattes & protein cold foam
This will add anywhere from 15-36g of protein to your drink!

Fiber? I’m nuts about it! 😏
Daily recommendations are 14 g per 1,000 kcal (~25 g/day for adult women, 38 g/day for adult men)

⚖️ BMI is far from perfect 📊
BUT it’s has its place (for now…..)
✅ cheap, quick, easy to understand
❌ doesn’t discern lean mass vs fat mass, doesn’t account for age/races/ethnicities

Take your vitamins!!
Thankfully bariatric vitamins have come a long way and significant vitamin deficiencies after surgery are rare. But thiamine is arguably the most important! #bariatriccommunity #bariatricsurgery #weightloss #bariatric #surgeon
