You didn't fail your surgery.
You were just never taught what comes after.
The bariatric system is good at getting you through the first year. What it rarely provides is what happens next — when hunger creeps back, the scale stops moving, and you start wondering if you somehow broke the one thing that was supposed to help. You didn't break anything. You just needed more than a handout and a follow-up appointment.
Most programs stop where your real journey begins.
And if you've spent any amount of time Googling "pouch reset," cutting carbs again, or lying awake wondering if this is just as good as it gets — I want you to know something:
That's not failure. That's what happens when smart, motivated women are handed incomplete tools and told to figure out the rest on their own.
You deserve better than that. And that's exactly why I'm here.
Hi, I’m Megan!
I know what it's like to feel like your body is the problem.
Before I was a dietitian, I was the girl who was doing all the fad diets. Eating as little as possible. Telling myself I just needed to be more strict, more disciplined, more something. I did all of it. And I know the particular exhaustion of trying to do everything "right" and still not seeing the lasting results.
Nothing was wrong with me. And nothing is wrong with you either.
That personal experience is what drew me into this field — and what I found when I got there confirmed everything I suspected. Working as a dietitian in hospital and clinical settings, I sat across from bariatric patients at every stage of their journey. I watched women walk out of surgery full of hope, do everything they were told, and still end up back in my office months later — frustrated, confused, and blaming themselves.
They weren't failing. The support system was.
Most of what the bariatric world offers is designed for the first six months. After that, you're largely on your own — navigating hunger, regain, and the fear that you've somehow undone the hardest thing you've ever done.
You haven't. But you do need better support than you've been given.
I understand that gap. Both personally and professionally. And it's the entire reason I built this practice.
HOW I WORK
Science, strategy, and zero shame.
I created My Bariatric Dietitian because no one should feel broken or alone after bariatric surgery. A few things that shape everything I do:
01
Restriction is rarely the answer
I'll never hand you a list of foods you can never eat again. Cutting more and starting over on Monday aren't strategies — they're cycles. We're breaking the cycle.
02
The mindset piece is not optional
Nutrition without the mindset support is like building a house with no foundation. We work on both — because one without the other rarely sticks.
03
Real life is non-negotiable
Your plan has to work on a Tuesday when you're exhausted and at a restaurant with your family. If it only works in perfect conditions, it doesn't work.
What working with me feels like
Part strategy session.
Part permission slip.
You'll get the clinical expertise, the metabolic science, the evidence-based approach that finally makes sense of what's happening in your body. But you'll also get someone who isn't going to make you feel judged for the 9 pm kitchen visit or for still wanting delicious foods in your diet.
My clients often tell me the biggest shift isn't just the number on the scale or how their clothes fit. It's that they finally feel like they can ditch the guilt and shame while still feeling like they have a plan that will last.
Megan helped me feel like I had power over the journey instead of feeling trapped by the rules. She gave me a clear road map — and supported me along the way.
