We wanted to talk with Maddie about how she recreates her "old school" favorite recipes into bariatric-friendly versions, but we got a WHOLE lot more out of our conversation with her than just her kitchen secrets! Maddie has been supporting the bariatric community since her gastric bypass procedure in 2017 and has recently launched an amazing website that is filled with recipes for success- in and out of the kitchen! Her insights to finding happiness after bariatric surgery are priceless and we are so thankful she could join us on the podcast to share them with all of us!
You can follow Maddie on Instagram @maddie5088 and visit her online at www.foodfitnessandbeauty.com
In this episode, we discuss:

Our bodies desire to live at a weight that might not be our idea.
Normalizing our experiences after bariatric surgery. 
How we can use moderation to find happiness after bariatric surgery.
How food was happiness before surgery and how and can be happiness after surgery.
How we can transform our favorite recipes into bariatric friendly versions!
