Looking forward to seeing what @PsychoDietitian has to share about the psychology of weighing, especially managing the potential for stigma @WtMgmtDPG

@NeilFlochMD @monicaagar21 @SanjSockalingam @DrAngelaFitch It’s not named here but we each spoke to MBS considerations within our disciplines. Wouldn’t leave that out!

Loved this @WtMgmtDPG / @ObesitySociety Joint Symposium on challenges and solutions for child nutrition programs. RDs need to share stories to support policy change. Thank you @AditiVasan, Kirsten Arm, & Erica Kenney! @eatrightPRO @ObesityWeek #OW2022

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

Dr. Holly Wyatt encourages open-mindedness about weight management and body acceptance. Both can be valid! Meet your patients where they are. #OW2022 @ObesitySociety @ObesityWeek @WtMgmtDPG @ASMBSIH

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

Lee Kaplan with a great update on the role of genetics in #obesity. 33% of people with BMI > 40 have genetically predictable obesity. How can we support them earlier in life? @ObesitySociety @ObesityWeek @WtMgmtDPG

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

Feeling amped up attending this @eatrightFNCE session about health conditions impacting mom & baby. As a #dietitian and obstetrics #nurse with experience in #diabetes and #BariatricSurgery, I’ve got a lot of work to do to support healthy moms & babies #FNCE @eatrightPRO

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

Awesome discussion at the #FNCE @WtMgmtDPG Spotlight Session. Thank you to our interdisciplinary panel for tackling some big questions in the #cysticfibrosis world with the emergence of HEMT! @eatrightPRO @eatrightFNCE @CF_Foundation

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

Started the day honoring our incredible @WtMgmtDPG Medallion Award winners! Congratulations to 2022 winner @nutriwell_coach and previous awardees @lmgigliotti @EileenRD Sachiko St. Jeor & Cathy Champagne! Legends in the #nutrition field @eatrightPRO @eatrightFNCE #FNCE

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

Thrilled to see @CicelyThomas6, our @WtMgmtDPG IDEA Liaison, spotlighted in the @eatrightFNCE opening session! Grateful for your contributions to the profession! #FNCE @eatrightPRO

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

The time that @PaulDavidsonPhD decided to include me in a #bariatricsummit musical act! 😆 Gotta keep it fun!

[@BostonNP @Evgeniya_NP]

A new awesome song of #bariatricsummit2022 to sing on our way home! Performed by our extraordinary colleagues @PaulDavidsonPhD and @LAndromalos @ASMBS #ObesitySummit22 #obesity

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

It was my honor to present Bill Gourash with the IH award at this year’s #bariatricsummit @ASMBSIH

[Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD]

Few nurses have influenced a surgical field as much as Bill Gourash. Humble, brilliant, and innovative, he helped create the Certified Bariatric Nurse designation and pioneering research. Thrilled he received the integrated health achievement award at #bariatricsummit 2020.

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

My brother sees heavy stuff as a juvenile prosecutor in sex crimes but he was shocked to learn clinicians use “recidivism” in weight mgmt. Words matter! “Compliance” = submitting to my will. No place for that in person-centered care @ASMBSIH @WtMgmtDPG @ASMBS #asmbs2022

[Nina Crowley PhD RDN @PsychoDietitian]

Another word to consider NOT using is recidivism - as it promotes weight bias - check out this article about it @ASMBSIH #ASMBS2022 https://t.co/76sApr0dWf

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

Love that our @ASMBSIH course directors for #cancer and #BariatricSurgery found Federika Garcia, RD, with experience in both worlds. Be proactive with nausea/vomiting and check for constipation in pts having chemotherapy

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

@PsychoDietitian @drdavidcreel @SOARD_JOURNAL @ASMBSIH @drdavidcreel love your humor and stories to bring these concepts to life!

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

Love these open-ended questions from Dr. Gretchen Ames to remove blame/shame and a focus on weight when starting the #BariatricSurgery journey @ASMBSIH

[Nina Crowley PhD RDN @PsychoDietitian]

Great tips from Dr. Gretchen Ames on how to structure your questions and communication when working with patients considering #bariatricsurgery: "How did you decide you are ready for surgery?", "What's concerning you most about your health?" @ASMBSIH #asmbs2022

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

So proud of my friend and colleague and our @ASMBSIH program co-chair! Congratulations @eatfitrun! Thrilled to celebrate you! @WtMgmtDPG

[ASMBS @ASMBS]

Congratulations to Melissa Majumdar MS RD for the Excellence in Nutrition Award #asmbs2022 @ASMBS @ASMBSFoundation

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

@PsychoDietitian @ASMBSIH @eatfitrun Just learned we had nearly 700 @ASMBSIH attendees join us this year! No wonder we’re feeling great energy and having awesome discussions in courses

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

This is a must-have resource for #BariatricSurgery RDs! Order your discounted copy at #asmbs2022 @ASMBSIH @WtMgmtDPG

If you’re still at #asmbs2022, make sure to stop by bookstore in the expo hall to order your discounted Academy of Nutrition Pocket Guide to Bariatric Surgery, 3rd ed. I’ve seen it referenced in most of the nutrition talks which means you need a copy! @ASMBS @ASMBSIH @WtMgmtDPG

[Laura Andromalos @LAndromalos]

Celebratory leap with @ASMBSIH Program Committee co-chair @eatfitrun. We did it! Thank you to our committee, course directors, speakers, and @ASMBS staff for making this week happen!
