As a health professional who has also had gastric bypass surgery, I quickly realized that they didn't staple my brain! The Am I Hungry? principles apply well to bariatric surgery patients and help them better use their tools and strengths to ensure optimal health. -Janine Kyrillos, M.D.
The Am I Hungry? facilitator training "sealed the deal" for me. Any questions I had about this approach were completely erased. It prepares facilitators completely and confidently to take this message of eating and living to the public. The materials are comprehensive and excellent. I know that I will be using this information for the rest of my career as a Family Physician and for the rest of my life personally. I (and hopefully all of my patients and participants to come) will never diet again!
