If the weight has come back
You're not starting over.
You're doing the things that used to work — and they're not working the same way anymore.
Portions have crept up. Protein and meal structure have gotten harder to hold onto.
“Just get back on track” isn't landing the way it used to.
You're not sure if you need a reset, more structure, or something different altogether.
Regain Recovery gives you a structured place to start.
For people further out from surgery

Daily support, free
The part of bariatric life that doesn't end when the surgical program does.
The free Journal app closes the gap between your care team's office hours and the rest of your life — protein and fluid tracking tuned to your procedure, a symptom check for after-hours questions, and a built-in Coach.
Who built this
Built by a nurse. Designed for real life.
I'm Danielle Gale, founder of PureBariatric and a bariatric-trained health and wellness educator. I've been a Registered Nurse for more than 20 years, and more recently moved into bariatric surgery clinic case management.* I built PureBariatric because patients get intensive support around surgery, then the appointments become less frequent while the day-to-day work of living with bariatric surgery continues.
