Social pressures can impact our decision-making, and for many bariatric patients, years of not trusting hunger signals and intuition can make it difficult to listen to our bodies. Learning how to reconnect with and trust yourself after bariatric surgery is a key factor in a successful journey. In this video, BariNation Co-Founders, Jason Smith and April Williams, share their personal stories and experiences of how they moved from not trusting their bodies to building a deeper connection with their intuitive hunger signals.
April and Jason open up about their bariatric surgery journeys and how they’ve learned to trust their body’s cues, making it easier to follow their health goals. They also discuss the tools and mindset shifts that helped them find their confidence again and trust themselves on their weight loss journey.
