Gastric Mindset
by Safi Abdi
This is my passion project where I hope we can navigate the ups and downs in recovering from food and body issues after WLS. Which will enable us to live a fulfilled life without the fear of regaining the weight or returning to unhelpful diet mentality. I hope to provide a safe environment to explore not what we are eating but rather ‘what's eating us’, by reviewing books and breaking down self-guided therapeutic resources so we can bridge the gap between our body and mind.
