Parenting & Caregiving After Bariatric Surgery | June Support Group

In this month's bariatric support group, we're diving into a topic that doesn't get talked about enough: how bariatric surgery impacts parenting and caregiving. Whether you're a parent to young kids, teens, or a caregiver for loved ones, your surgery and health journey ripples out to affect the whole family. In this session, we cover: ✅ Taking care of yourself without guilt — why self-care isn't selfish ✅ Being a health role model for your kids and family ✅ Talking about weight and body image around children ✅ Navigating family meals when everyone eats differently ✅ Managing food-focused events (holidays, parties, vacations) ✅ Handling family reactions and setting healthy boundaries ✅ Raising healthy eaters without creating food fear Whether you're pre-op and planning ahead, or post-op navigating these changes in real time, this conversation is meant to help you feel less alone and more equipped for the family side of your bariatric journey. 💬 Have tips or experiences to share? Drop them in the comments — we'd love to hear how surgery has changed the way you parent, cook, or talk about food and body image at home. 📅 Join us for our next support group next month! Chelsea will also be hosting a session later this month. #BariatricSurgery #WeightLossSurgery #BariatricSupport #ParentingAfterSurgery #Caregiving #HealthyFamily #BariatricJourney #GastricSleeve #GastricBypass #PostOpSupport
