The Real Insights of Bariatric Empowerment
T.R.I.B.E.®
Where the Bariatric Babes & GLP-1 Girlies go to stop self-sabotaging, calm the fear of failure, and protect the results they worked so hard for.Â
You didn’t go through surgery just to live in fear of messing it up.
T.R.I.B.E.® is the membership built to keep you accountable, supported, and consistent, so when old habits and patterns like late-night snacking and all-or-nothing thinking pop back in, you have the tools and the community to stop them before they take over.
Welcome to your new normal!
When you join the T.R.I.B.E. ® Membership, you can expect to experience results like these… Â
"T.R.I.B.E. has helped me move away from the all or nothing mindset. It would sometimes lead to a derailed weekend or a “I’ll start next week.” Now I can eat the donut or have ice cream and not let it lead to a spiral!
"My biggest win since having surgery is better health, but just under that is the self-confidence this surgery and being in the T.R.I.B.E. has given me!”
"I probably would have fallen for some diet culture BS. Without it, I would not have lost over 200lbs. T.R.I.B.E. for me has meant community, safety, and connection."
"Joining T.R.I.B.E. has been the best investment I’ve made for ME. I didn't need another diet, I needed accountability from people who understand how important it is so be successful after WLS."

A Message from Jamie
Hello, my beautiful Bariatric Babe đź’—
First off, I just want to say this…
You are capable. You are worthy. You are so incredibly brave. And I am so proud of you.
You’ve already taken the biggest leap of faith. You had weight loss surgery and made it to the other side of the scariest decision of your life. Maybe you’ve also started a GLP-1. Either way, you invested in yourself in a BIG way. Not everyone has the courage to step up and show up for themselves the way you have.
I know how much this journey means to you. It’s not small. It’s not shallow. And it’s certainly not “the easy way out.” It’s blood, sweat, tears, sacrifice, and a daily choice to keep going. It’s hard and scary as hell.
And I’ll be honest with you, even as a Registered Dietitian, I was overwhelmed when I started this journey. It wasn’t that I didn’t know what to do, it was that I needed support to actually do it. As much as I wanted to believe I could rely on willpower or lean only on my surgical team, the truth is this, as life-changing as surgery was, my team couldn’t carry me through the ups and downs, the fears, and the moments of self-doubt.
That’s why I created T.R.I.B.E.® — because you don’t deserve to carry those fears alone either.
Xoxo, Jamie
Let’s be honest…
Losing weight didn’t erase your old patterns.
If anything, the pressure feels heavier now.
You catch yourself thinking:
- I’m doing “good” right now… but how long until I screw it up?
- What if I stretch my stomach and ruin everything?
- What if I prove everyone right — that I took the easy way out, that I cheated, and that I’ll never actually hit my goals?
- Why can’t I just relax and trust myself instead of obsessing over every bite?
The hard truth is this: you’re never going to feel adequate on this journey if you don’t fix the mess going on inside your head.
Surgery changes your stomach, not the way you think.
And here’s what most people are too afraid to tell you… no amount of weight loss is going to stop the fear, the negativity, or the self-sabotage spiral you find yourself running back to time and time again… unless you actively get the support and tools to change it.
What’s happening is the same cycle so many women face after surgery:
- The fear of failure makes you more controlling.
- Perfectionism makes you miserable.
- And the constant obsession leaves you feeling like your whole life revolves around “not messing this up.”
It’s exhausting. It’s lonely. And if nothing changes, it’s the kind of stress that eventually does lead to sabotage, regain, and going back to old habits.
That’s exactly why I built T.R.I.B.E.®. because living in fear is what propels self-sabotage. And when that takes over, it drags you right back into the very habits you’ve been fighting so hard to leave behind.
Join T.R.I.B.E.® Today for $47/monthSo what makes T.R.I.B.E.® different?
Most programs tell you what to eat and how to exercise. But none of that matters if you’re still stuck in your own head, constantly waiting to fail. This isn’t another diet. It’s not a meal plan. You already know how to follow rules.
T.R.I.B.E.® is the membership designed to make sure you can actually maintain your results for the long haul. Think of it as an insurance policy on your surgery.
You’ve already invested so much and changed so many things, but if you don’t get the support and guidance to stop self-sabotaging, self-doubting, and living in constant fear and criticism of yourself… then losing the weight won’t feel like enough, and keeping it off will feel impossible.
Why T.R.I.B.E.® Comes First
Every program I’ve ever built, from 1:1 coaching to my Bariatric Breakthrough® Group, starts with one thing: mindset.
In fact, it’s the very first pillar of the Bariatric Breakthrough® Method, aka my trademarked method, that has helped thousands of WLS patients find success both on and off the scale after surgery. Because without starting with the mindset, nothing else sticks. You can know the rules, you can follow a plan, but if you don’t learn how to manage the fear, the perfectionism, and the spiral of self-sabotage… you’ll always end up right back where you started.
That’s why T.R.I.B.E.® exists.
No matter where you are on your journey — pre-op, years post-op, or on a GLP-1 — T.R.I.B.E.® is the foundation that helps you stop sabotaging, build consistency, and finally feel safe in your journey.
And when you have that foundation? Every other piece: nutrition, movement, weight loss, tackling regian, etc. falls into place so much easier.

The Reality of Accountability
When you rely on willpower alone, your chances of following through drop fast, as low as 10–25%*.
But when you have structured accountability, the numbers completely flip. Sharing your goals and checking in consistently pushes success rates into the 70s, and with scheduled accountability, they can top 95%.*
Now listen, I’m not one to gamble, but those odds speak volumes.
In Other Words
When you get the accountability, support, structure, and mindset tools that T.R.I.B.E.® provides, your chances of not only hitting your weight loss goals, but actually maintaining them, skyrocket. We’re talking upwards of NINTEY. FIVE. PERCENT!Â
And we’ve tested these numbers in practice. Since 2020, T.R.I.B.E.® has supported thousands of women after weight loss surgery to:
- Stop living in constant fear of failure
- Break free from self-sabotage and perfectionism
- Finally feel steady, consistent, and confident in their results long-term
The statistics don’t lie. This is truly what happens when you stop trying to do it alone and finally have the system and community that’s proven to work.

Here’s Exactly What You Get Inside T.R.I.B.E.®
Because the truth is, no one handed you the real insights when you had surgery. You got the rules, the calorie goals, the generic meal plans — but not the tools to quiet the fear, break the perfection spiral, or stop sabotaging yourself when life got messy.
That’s what this membership gives you.
When you join, you’ll get immediate access to:
1. T.R.I.B.E.® Starter Videos
2. Live Weekly Support Groups
3. Quarterly Expert Workshops
4. Accountability Circles
5. Access to Our Leadership Team
Real Support for Real-Life Struggles
Inside T.R.I.B.E.®, you’ll find support groups on the exact challenges women face after WLS and on GLP-1s. Every month the new calendar is posted with our roster. These support groups are where the real change happens. They are safe spaces that help you face the fears, habits, and thought patterns that fuel sabotage, and give you the accountability and encouragement to finally lose weight, keep it off, and stop doubting yourself on this journey.Â
Some of our most popular groups include:
Pre-Op & Newly Post-Op Support:Â
Whether you’re still waiting for surgery or in your first year, this group helps you build the right habits early so you don’t feel blindsided later. You’ll walk out confident instead of overwhelmed.
Regain Support Groups:Â
Regain is the fear nobody wants to talk about. Here, you’ll finally have a judgment-free space to face it, get accountability, and start making progress without the shame.
GLP-1 Support:
If you’re on medications like Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro, this group gives you support without stigma so you can feel supported instead of judged.
B- Mentality:
Perfectionism is what fuels sabotage. This group helps you stop moving the goalpost on yourself and learn how to feel successful without having to be “perfect” or give 100% and get that A+ all the time.
Emotional Eating Groups:Â
Led by licensed therapists and registered dietitians, these sessions help you finally understand and calm the patterns that make you feel out of control with food.
Hormones & Menopause:Â
Hormonal changes can feel like your body is betraying you. These groups help you make sense of what’s happening so you don’t spiral into fear every time the scale fluctuates.
Body Image & Dysmorphia:Â
Rapid weight loss can leave you feeling disconnected from the mirror. These groups give you tools and community to start seeing yourself with compassion instead of criticism.
Neurodiverse Habit Planning:Â
If ADHD, autism, or executive dysfunction make it harder to stay on track, this group helps you find strategies that actually fit your brain and your life.
And that’s just a glimpse. With 10-12+ live support groups every single month, you’ll always find a space that speaks to exactly what you’re going through

Who T.R.I.B.E.® Is For
This membership is for the bariatric patient who:
- Knows the real battle after surgery isn’t the food itself, it’s the fear of failure and sabotage.
- Wants support, not more rules.
- Is ready to stop living in anxiety about stretching her stomach, “ruining it,” or proving the haters right.
- Craves consistency and confidence without feeling like her whole life revolves around tracking and obsessing.
This is not for you if:
- You’re looking for all the nutrition and lifestyle coursework (that’s what the Vault is for).
- You don’t want to be part of a community of women who actually get it.
- You want to know exactly what to eat and how to eat to lose regain (that’s what the Bariatric Breakthrough ® Coaching Program or 1:1 Coaching is for).
- You’re not worried about wasting your surgery.
- You’d rather keep pretending you can figure it all out alone — even though that approach is the very thing that’s left you anxious, exhausted, and stuck in the same cycle.
Your Investment
You’ve already spent thousands on surgery. You’ve put in the blood, sweat, and tears. You’ve poured your heart and soul into this “last chance” at the life you desire. The last thing you want is to watch all of that go to waste.
T.R.I.B.E.® is just $47/month.
That’s less than your monthly Starbucks habit. Less than one Friday night DoorDash order.
And one month inside T.R.I.B.E.® could save you years of stress, fear, and second-guessing.
Unsubscribe at any time. But be prepared to stay for a while, on average, our members tend to stay 8-12+ months since they find it SO valuable.
What happens if you keep struggling through this alone? You might continue...
- Regaining the weight you swore you’d never see again.
- Wasting your surgery and proving the people who doubted you right.
- Living every day in fear, anxiety, and self-doubt, instead of finally feeling steady and confident.
One month inside T.R.I.B.E.® could save you years of stress, obsession, and second-guessing.
