Katie Jay’s
Back to Basics Intensive
Would you like to create an environment that supports your success after bariatric surgery?
Would you like to create:
- A healthier mindset,
- Ways to deal with emotions instead of eating over them,
- Better communications skills (and boundary-setting skills) with the people you need to depend on to support you and your bariatric lifestyle?
- A deeper understanding of the psychological stages bariatric patients go through after surgery, and how to navigate those stages?
Life is like that. You’re sailing along, then something stressful happens, and you to lose your footing, and you start to feel lost. Gradually, or all at once, you find yourself reaching for food to comfort yourself or you realize you’ve been forgetting to take your vitamins. You begin to beat yourself up as your self-care starts to sink.
You realize you’re in a storm. And it dawns on you that no matter how badly you want to, you can’t control the wind.
In all this turmoil you question why you set sail. You feel ashamed. You tell yourself you are flawed because you can’t keep the ship going in the right direction. You agonize over why you can’t find your way through.
So how do you navigate the storm?

What Past Clients Have Said about Working with Katie Jay
I was at the end of my rope. I had slipped into old behaviors. I was grazing and staying up late to eat. Now, using what I learned in Katie’s course, I am able to be more compassionate with myself.
I have been experimenting with ways to address my grazing, and the number of evenings I graze during a week has gone from 7 nights, down to 3. To me that’s a miracle.
I used to be very black and white about things. Now I check in with myself and am learning to use my intuition more. It’s so freeing. I highly recommend Katie’s Back to Basics Intensive for anyone who has had bariatric surgery. Jenny B., OH
I’m surprised how much I like Zoom. In the Zoom classes, I’m connecting more because I’m seeing the faces of all the ladies. I’ve made friends.
I think this intensive is as good for beginners as it is for women further out from surgery. Personally, I wish I had taken this class when I was about a year out from surgery. It would have helped me transition from being a newbie to a long-term WLS survivor.
I have worked with Katie 15+ years and I continue to learn and grow. When I am struggling, she listens, she hears it, she mirrors it back. Then, she follows with offering encouragement and practical advice. No judgment. These days, I feel like I am dog-paddling less and swimming with grace. Lou L., NC
I love Katie’s depth of knowledge, kindness, willingness, and ability to share what she knows to help others. She is very relatable.
Three benefits I got from taking this course were:
- Practical knowledge about how to put forth intentional and consistent effort to change my “stinking thinking.”
- I realized I haven’t been self-aware for years, and without that awareness I also haven’t taken care of my needs for years.
- Finally, I am learning how to be honest about my thoughts and feelings in a non-threatening or accusing way.
I would recommend Katie’s Back to Basics Intensive to anyone who struggles with life after bariatric surgery or is dealing with regain.
