VSG Diet Support
Surgery Changed Your Stomach. Now Let's Change Your Habits.
Specialist Health Coaching After Gastric Sleeve Surgery: Eat Calmly. Live Confidently.
If you’ve had a gastric sleeve (VSG) and you’re back to real life — work, family, tired days, social plans — you may be wondering what “good” eating actually looks like now.
This page is for you if you want:
-
A clear, realistic structure for everyday eating
-
Less mind-noise around food, cravings, and “am I doing this right?”
-
More energy, steadier weight loss (or maintenance), and fewer setbacks
-
Practical support that fits your life and your small stomach
What you may be experiencing
After VSG, most people don’t struggle because they “don’t know what protein is.”
They struggle because life is busy, appetite is unpredictable, and the rules feel confusing.
You might be dealing with:
-
Getting “stuck” between not eating enough and then overeating later
-
Grazing, slider foods, or snacking that creeps back in
-
Feeling tired, low in mood, or constantly thinking about food
-
Uncertainty around portions, pace, and what to do when weight loss slows
-
Social eating, travel, celebrations, and pressure from others
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not failing — you’re adjusting.
What you need now
You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a simple framework that works repeatedly.
Most VSG clients need:
-
A small-meals rhythm that prevents extremes
-
Protein-first habits without feeling restricted or obsessed
-
Food confidence: knowing what to do on normal days and hard days
-
Simple “go-to” meals you can repeat without stress
-
A way to reset quickly after a wobble, without guilt
That’s what VSG Diet Support is designed to give you: calm structure and consistency.
What You Can Expect — A Clear 5-Step Process
1. Personal Lifestyle & Health Questionnaire
A detailed pre-session form exploring your surgery history, current eating patterns, supplementation, energy levels, challenges, blood results (if available), and lifestyle factors. This ensures our work is structured and relevant from the start.
2. 1:1 Comprehensive Consultation (60 minutes)
We review your history together, clarify your current concerns, and identify where your sleeve tool is working well — and where it needs better support.
3. Personalised Goal Planning
We agree on 1–3 realistic, measurable goals focused on nutrition, behaviour, routine and confidence around food — tailored specifically to post-VSG needs.
4. Structured Implementation Plan
You receive a clear framework to implement change calmly and sustainably — including meal rhythm, protein focus, supplementation reminders, eating behaviours, and lifestyle alignment.
5. Two Focused Follow-Up Sessions
We review progress, troubleshoot challenges, refine strategy and build long-term confidence so you feel steady and in control beyond surgery.
This Is For You If You...

-
Want eating to feel simpler, calmer and more predictable — not stressful or confusing
-

-
Want to protect your results and feel confident long term
