Regain Recovery (90-Day)
A structured 90-day program for bariatric patients who are experiencing weight regain and want a plain-language, non-shaming way to get back on track — built around what actually goes wrong in the years after surgery.
Why this program exists
Bariatric surgical programs are designed to walk you through the first year. After that, most patients are discharged back to their family physician — and the years that follow are where a lot of people quietly slip.
- Weight regain after bariatric surgery is common and it is not a personal failure — it is a well-documented pattern that has physiological, behavioural, and lifestyle contributors.
- Most bariatric surgical programs are structured around the intensive first 12 to 18 months post-op. After discharge, day-to-day bariatric-specific follow-up isn't part of most patients' regular care.
- The information available to people navigating regain is often shame-based, marketing-driven, or written for people who have never had bariatric surgery — none of which is useful when you're actually in it.
- Regain Recovery (90-Day) is designed to give you a plain-language, structured, non-shaming plan for the specific window where regain patterns start and where they can most effectively be interrupted.
You're probably no longer in a bariatric program
This is the reality Regain Recovery was built for.
- Most bariatric surgical programs discharge patients back to their family physician within the first 12 to 18 months after surgery. From that point on, your regular family doctor is your medical home for weight-related follow-up.
- Family physicians care about their patients — but most have not had specific bariatric training and are covering the full range of medicine at the same time. Bariatric-specific nutrition, protein targets, dumping, and long-term regain patterns often aren't part of a routine visit.
- This means that if you're a year or more past surgery and starting to regain, you are frequently on your own for the day-to-day. The information gap is exactly where regain quietly starts.
- Regain Recovery (90-Day) is designed to fill that gap with structured, plain-language, bariatric-specific education — the kind of information that your surgical program covered in the first year and that nothing has covered since.
Regain Recovery is not a replacement for medical care. If you have a family physician, keep them in the loop about anything you're changing, especially with medication, blood work, or new symptoms. If you don't currently have a family physician, please seek one — this program is education, not medical follow-up.
What the 90 days will cover
The program is delivered in three phases across 90 days. Full curriculum unlocks day-by-day inside the program journal.
Honest assessment, without the shame
Where you actually are right now, what is contributing to regain in your specific situation, and what a realistic 90-day picture looks like from here. No before/after photos. No guilt hooks. Just information you can act on.
Rebuilding the bariatric-specific fundamentals
The protein, hydration, portion, and eating-pattern basics that were part of your immediate post-op period — refreshed for where your body and your life actually are now, years out from surgery.
Building a sustainable long-term pattern
The pieces that determine whether a 90-day reset holds after the 90 days are over — sleep, movement, environment, and how to know when you need clinical support rather than more information.
Built by Danielle Gale, founder of PureBariatric — a bariatric-trained health & wellness educator who has been a nurse since 2005 and is walking her own long-term weight and metabolic-health journey using the same behaviour-first approach this program is built around.
This is an education and self-management program, not medical care, not diagnosis, not treatment, and not a substitute for individualised guidance from your bariatric team (if you're still in program) or your family physician (after discharge).

Regain Recovery (90-Day) is an education and self-management program. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, prescription, or emergency care.
