nourished bariatric basics is for you if…
You are post-op and want to learn how to nourish your body
You want to set your foundations and establish lifelong eating habits as your capacity to eat more increases
You’re ready to learn how to meal plan and prep foods that nourish your body, taste great, and make you feel good
You want to create a healthy relationship with food and finally stop dieting for good
You enjoy eating a little bit of everything OR you’re plant-based and looking for suggestions on how to meet your bariatric goals while adhering to your dietary preferences
Having bariatric surgery empowers you to take control of your health and create new habits to nourish your body and feel your very best. I created this course so you have all the guidance you need for building healthy lifestyle habits after a lifetime of following yo-yo diets.
Having bariatric surgery means that your needs have changed and any old fad diet out there is unlikely to work for you - the information in this course is tailored specifically for bariatric patients just like you!!
“Like many, I battled my weight my entire life. I made the decision to do bariatric surgery and knew I needed some assistance in the post-bariatric process. I have a tendency to go to extremes, and Haley helped me find a balanced approach!”

a note from haley
Hey there, I’m so glad you found your way to the Nourished Bariatric Basics page.
I created this online course because so many people I speak with are excited about the opportunities ahead of them, but unsure of how to actually establish healthy eating habits.
I receive questions like
What do I eat if I’m not following a specific plan? I want to do this right and learn to eat in a balanced way but don’t know how to get started.
Where do I begin when it comes to meal planning for foods I actually enjoy that fit into my new lifestyle?
How can I overcome the feelings of overwhelm I’m having post-op; I want to hit my target numbers, learn new recipes, figure out how to meal plan, and do all the things right and it’s stressing me out!
You’ll find the answers to these questions and more inside the Nourished Bariatric Basics online course! You don’t have to feel stressed, this course will guide you every step of the way!
