Regain doesn't mean you've failed

A 90-day plan for getting back on track after bariatric surgery.

Structured, plain-language support for the years after your surgical program ends — when regain quietly starts and most patients are left to figure it out alone.

Is this you?

If any of this sounds familiar, Regain Recovery was built with you specifically in mind.

The weight is creeping back and you don't know exactly when it started or what changed.

Your surgical program discharged you a while ago, and nobody bariatric-specific is checking in anymore.

You're doing what used to work and the scale isn't responding the way it did in year one.

You feel like you're supposed to already know this — and asking for help feels like admitting you failed.

What 90 days actually changes

Three stages, in order — not a lecture, a sequence.

Understand

What's actually contributing to your regain — physiology, habits, sleep, mental health, and environment — without shame or guesswork.

Reset

Rebuild the bariatric-specific fundamentals — protein, hydration, movement, portions — for where your body is now, not where it was on Day 1 post-op.

Maintain

Leave with a personal, one-page maintenance plan built for your surgery type, your life, and the inflection points that come next.

What's included

Everything you need for the full 90 days, in one program.

✓90 days of structured lessons — a new lesson each day, sequenced across four phases, track-specific for your surgery type (restrictive vs. malabsorptive/combined).
✓Phase-aware meal planning — recipes filtered for the regain and maintenance phases, not generic post-op content.
✓AI-supported daily check-ins — a same-day place to log what happened and get plain-language context, not a replacement for your care team.
✓Printable worksheets — reflection prompts, tracking sheets, and the one-page maintenance plan you build across Weeks 11–12.
✓Lifetime access — one-time purchase, revisit any day at any point after the 90 days end.
✓Install it as an app — add Regain Recovery to your phone's home screen straight from your browser, no app store needed.

The 90-day curriculum

Four phases. Every day is track-aware for restrictive (sleeve/band) or malabsorptive/combined (bypass/SADI-S/DS) surgery types where the content differs. Tap a phase to see what's inside.

Phase 1 · Days 1–14 Honest assessment, without the shame

Where you actually are right now, what surgery you had and why it matters, and a realistic picture of what changed since your first post-op year. No before/after photos, no guilt hooks.

Day 1You're here. That took something.
Day 2What surgery you had, and why it matters
Day 3Your bariatric team looks different now
Day 4Weigh once. Just once this week.
Day 5What did you actually eat yesterday?
Day 6Protein: the number that hasn't changed
Day 7End of Week 1 — reflection
Day 8Hydration: has yours drifted?
Day 9Labs, in the regain context
Day 10Your supplement stack, audited
Day 11Your plate, then and now
Day 12Dumping syndrome, and what a faded alarm means
Day 13The honest conversation about GLP-1 medications
Day 14Week 2 reflection, and your next GP visit

Phase 2 · Days 15–35 Rebuild, not restart

Movement, sleep, and mental health — the three domains that quietly drive regain but rarely get bariatric-specific attention after discharge.

Day 15Welcome to Phase 2: rebuild, not restart
Day 16Movement, and the muscle-mass problem nobody explained
Day 17The minimum-effective resistance protocol
Day 19The second floor: walking, standing, and non-exercise activity
Day 20Cardio, when it earns its slot
Day 22Sleep is a metabolic lever, not a personality trait
Day 24Cortisol, stress, and the evening cascade
Day 26Night eating: the pattern nobody screens for
Day 29Regain is not a moral failing
Day 30The mood floor: depression and anxiety after bariatric surgery
Day 31Emotional eating vs. binge eating disorder: the honest distinction
Day 33Trauma, self-perception, and the body you have now

Phase 3 · Days 36–42 The terrain around you

Week 6 turns the lens outward: the people in your food life, your family's food culture, your workplace, and the layout of your kitchen and phone — the surroundings that do a lot of the work, for you or against you.

Day 36The people around your regain (an honest inventory)
Day 38Family food culture, the one you inherited and the one you're in now
Day 40Workplace food and the culture nobody voted for
Day 42Week 6 reflection: the terrain around you

Phase 4 · Days 43–90 The long game, and your maintenance plan

Set-point theory, metabolic adaptation, hunger and satiety after surgery, lab work, and rebuilding your ongoing bariatric care team — then, in the final weeks, turning it all into a written, personal, one-page maintenance plan and testing it against a real day and a disrupted day before you graduate.

Day 43Welcome to Phase 4 — the long game
Day 44Set-point theory (what your body considers home)
Day 45Metabolic adaptation (why the same calories stop working)
Day 47Weight cycling (the real risk isn't regain, it's the cycle)
Day 48Maintenance mindset (what it actually looks like)
Day 50The hunger and satiety map after surgery
Day 54The pause practice
Day 55Portion drift and how to catch it
Day 57The bariatric lab panel: what to run, how often, what it means
Day 58Protein at year 3+: why the target changed
Day 60Alcohol after your specific surgery
Day 65Sarcopenic obesity: the long-term risk you were not briefed on
Day 66Strength training as the maintenance floor
Day 72Turning your annual physical into your annual bariatric review
Day 73When to consider revision surgery
Day 75Advocating for yourself when access is limited
Day 77Week 11 reflection: the care team you build for the long game
Day 78Welcome to Week 12: turn the learning into your maintenance plan

Day 89Revise your plan for the next 30 days
Day 90Graduation: carrying your maintenance plan forward

Why this approach

Regain Recovery is built differently than most post-op content you've seen.

Track-aware, not one-size-fits-all

Restrictive procedures (sleeve, band) and malabsorptive/combined procedures (bypass, SADI-S, DS) regain differently. Every track-specific lesson is written for your actual surgery.

Sequenced, not a content dump

Four phases in order — assessment, then rebuilding the fundamentals, then the terrain around you, then the long game and your personal plan. Each day builds on the last.

Non-shaming, on purpose

No before/after photos, no guilt hooks, no "you just need more willpower." Regain is treated as the well-documented, physiological pattern it actually is.

Built for the gap that actually exists

Most surgical programs discharge patients within 12–18 months. This program exists for exactly the years after that, when bariatric-specific support usually disappears.

Built by someone who has sat in both chairs

Danielle Gale — founder of PureBariatric and a bariatric-trained health and wellness educator, with a nursing background spanning labour and delivery, surgical services, and bariatric-focused settings.

Regain Recovery is built on published guidelines on weight regain after bariatric surgery — not on personal clinical experience — combined with Danielle's own long-term metabolic-health journey. Read her full story.

Questions before you start

Is this only for people actively regaining weight?

Regain Recovery is built for anyone past their first post-op year who wants a structured way to catch drift early or address regain that's already started. The earlier assessment days work whether you're a few pounds up or further along.

Do I need to still be in a bariatric program to join?

No. Most people using this program have already been discharged back to their family physician. That's exactly the gap Regain Recovery is built to fill. If you're still in an active surgical program, this runs alongside it.

How is the content different for my surgery type?

Certain days — protein targets, hydration, movement, alcohol metabolism, and more — are written separately for restrictive procedures (sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable band) versus malabsorptive or combined procedures (gastric bypass, SADI-S, BPD-DS), because the physiology genuinely differs. You'll get the track that matches your surgery.

What if I fall behind on the daily schedule?

Lifetime access means there's no deadline. Days unlock sequentially so the program stays in order, but you set the pace — pause and resume whenever life gets in the way.

Is this medical care or a replacement for my doctor?

No. Regain Recovery is education and self-management support, not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Keep your family physician or bariatric team in the loop about anything you change, especially medication, blood work, or new symptoms.

Is there a subscription, or is $297 the total cost?

$297 USD total for lifetime access to the full 90-day program — no recurring charge for Regain Recovery itself. You can pay it all at once, or split it into 3 monthly payments of $99 at checkout; access starts immediately either way.

Regain Recovery (90-Day) is an education and self-management program. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, prescription, or emergency care. Always follow your bariatric team's guidance if you're still in program, or your family physician's guidance after discharge.
