Catering to the unique nutrition and lifestyle needs of bariatric surgery patients.

Rest easy knowing that you are working with a caring and experienced nutrition professional every step of the way.

My Philosophy

The purpose of The Jolley Dietitian is to offer a safe haven for patients to EMPOWER THEMSELVES to reach their full potential by optimizing the most powerful tool for weight loss, bariatric surgery.

My counseling style is collaborative - I’m not here to “tell” you how to eat or live healthy. I offer evidence based and clinically supported information and then YOU decide how to apply these resources to your life. Ultimately, the person responsible for behavior change is you. These are core elements of a counseling approach called motivational interviewing.

My counseling style is compassionate. Your story is important to me. The only way for me to offer personalized nutrition counseling is to KNOW YOU. I will ask about your family, your work, your interests and dislikes, your challenges and resources, and your feelings. That’s because managing weight and creating lasting lifestyle habits has to happen while you’re living in the real world and not just when you’re in my (virtual) office.

My counseling style is grounded in reality. If you’re too busy to cook then I am NOT going to recommend you prepare meals with 15 ingredients and 10 steps for 7 days a week.

Nutrition Counseling Services

Individual nutrition consultation is an in-depth evaluation of your nutrition status including typical dietary intake, eating patterns, activity habits, weight history, and supplement use.
1:1 Follow-up nutrition counseling after the initial visit to focus on specific goals, and provide additional guidance on eating and lifestyle behavior changes to optimize your weight loss and health before or after bariatric surgery.

Support Programs

I have also designed bariatric support programs tailored to patients in all stages of the surgery journey. For newbies, my goal is to help KICKSTART your surgery preparation. For those looking for a community to maintain healthy habits (or to get back on track), SAVORY LIFE NUTRITION is a subscription program to help you optimize the amazing weight loss tool that your surgery is!

Why choose a program? Behavior change is a process so a high level of engagement over time is critical to success. The core features of these programs include:

Open, flexible access to education resources so you can study modules when it’s convenient for you.
KICKSTART modules help you prepare for what to expect at each major milestone. The idea is to provide just enough guidance to you, in a brief and digestible format, so you can focus better on what is RELEVANT to you at the time.
Both programs I will cover useful topics such as: food lists, recipes, tips on meal prep, sample supplement regimen, recommendations on appropriate physical activity, and how to address common non-urgent issues along the journey after surgery. Plus SAVORY LIFE NUTRITION will feature new content every month.
Live, group Q&A video calls facilitate group learning on lifestyle changes for bariatric surgery. With the benefit of peer interaction, you build a circle of support while you learn together and from each other.
Secure communication through the client portal, similar to instant messaging, but confidential and secure. It’s like having your favorite dietitian in your pocket all of the time!

Custom Packages

Every patient has unique needs - certainly one size does not fit all. Let’s discuss what options I offer and help you customize a package of services that is right for YOU. Packages also SAVE YOU MONEY because I offer a 20% DISCOUNT off your initial consultation when you sign up for other services!
