IN THE T.R.I.B.E.®, You have RD’s, therapists, personal trainers & PSYCHOLOGISTS...
READY TO FIND YOUR T.R.I.B.E.®? the doors are always open.
Hello, my beautiful Bariatric Babe!
First off, I just want to say this...
You are capable, you are worthy, you are so incredibly brave, and I am so very proud of you. You have already taken the biggest leap of faith—you had weight loss surgery and made it to the “losers bench”. You’ve invested in yourself in a BIG way, babe. Not many people choose to step up and show up for themselves in the ways you have. I know how much this weight loss surgery journey means to you. It means everything to me too. And this decision takes SO much work. Real blood, sweat, and tears—and anyone who judges you and says that you’re taking the “easy way out” doesn’t have a clue what they’re saying.
But you’re still struggling most days…
You try so hard to process everything and sort through the daily struggles. Between the food tracking, feeling restricted, not knowing how to plan your workouts and, most importantly, feeling so alone—it’s no wonder you’re feeling lost and overwhelmed.
You’re starting to really worry. Thinking about those couple extra bites after each meal—thinking you could stretch your stomach— is scaring the hell out of you. And as the old habits creep back in, the detrimental thoughts do too…
“I feel like I’ve tried everything & I’m going to fail again.”
No babe, you won’t. The simple fact that you’re reading this shows that you aren’t failing. You only fail when you stop trying.
I know you feel like you're failing. But trust me Babe, you're not.
After having my surgery I soon realized how little support there was for people in the Bariatric Community
Can you relate?
Imagine if you could:
- Eat well-balanced meals that keep you full AND satisfied without restricting the foods you love.
- Create epic, long-lasting changes in your habits so you can keep the weight off long term.
- Let go of the guilt you feel every day when you aren’t “perfect” with your eating.
- Improve your relationship with food so you never feel guilty about anything you eat .
- Move your body your way, and work out without the pressure of “going hard or going home”.
- Live a life that isn’t centered around counting macros or numbers.
All of this is possible and more!

Join the Community of Amazing Women
Those who identify as women, and nonbinary/non-gender conforming people who’ve all had surgery—one where we cheer each other on and lift each other up.
“What if I’m pre-op, 4 months or 4 years post-op?"
Is the T.R.I.B.E.® still a good fit for me?
YES, and here’s why: no matter where you are in your journey, you deserve the support and resources from people who just get it. Because there are so many things people don’t tell you about post-op life. For starters: we’re not supposed to keep up this post-op diet forever, and that misconception feeds our feelings of failure.
But you know what, babe? It’s okay to have carbs! It’s possible to go out to restaurants with your friends AND order with confidence. It’s possible to not feel guilty anymore for not being “perfect”. And a life where you don’t fear failure is so much closer than you think.
If you're Still Struggling with regain Post-Op
Or Worried About Making These Habits Stick To Long Term... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
"Jamie's The BEST Thing That Has Happened In My Life!"
“Jamie has been a miracle worker. My anxiety with food is totally gone. I’m an emotional binge eater, but through working with Jamie I’ve been able to take the power away from food. I love how the program was able to be customized to me. I started the program with snacks because I needed help with that first, then went into meal prep help. I never thought I’d be in a place where I ever trusted myself. I learned coping mechanisms and that there are no “good” or “bad” foods. Such a great experience. I feel so grateful and blessed!”
JESSICA - 3.5 Years Post Op VSG
You won’t have to worry about giving up your favorite foods or carbs again!
You can ditch the anxiety from when your RD told you that you could only have a thousand calories, among all the other strict rules. You won’t have to track your food to feel successful, or worry about feeling exhausted and burnt out. You’ll feel relieved because FINALLY, you have a support system of babes that understand your limits when you go out to eat. Wouldn’t it be amazing to leave the frustrations of your protein-only diet behind, and instead feel satisfied with healthy, well-rounded plates that don’t leave you deprived?
When you join the T.R.I.B.E.® Membership, you will learn the exact steps you need to take to change your eating habits, understand how to build filling and satisfying plates that meet your individual needs, and get closer to reaching all your goals.THE REAL INSIGHTS OF BARIATRIC EATING
The T.R.I.B.E.® Membership was created to provide you with a community of women, those who identify as women, and nonbinary/non-gender conforming people (our TRIBE, if you will) who are all on their weight loss surgery journeys.
All of the T.R.I.B.E.® leaders have had weight loss surgery, and are going through exactly what you are going through right now, or might go through soon. We’re a community that gives ongoing support, encouraging you to reach your goals and truly change your habits with all the resources you need to set you up for success. And yes, you really can change your habits for good so you don’t have to worry about going back to “the old ways”.

for resources, community & support after wls
Everything in the membership will give you the tools to succeed, and the support to feel empowered—all you have to do is show up and put in the work!
This isn’t a substitute for your surgeon’s guidelines—the T.R.I.B.E.® is a supplemental resource to assist you in achieving your goals. And there is no other membership out there that gives you the resources, support system, and accountability that the T.R.I.B.E.® offers.
I Know Live Support & All These Resources
Work To Help You Hit Your Goals!
Because everything in the T.R.I.B.E.® has worked for me and my fellow T.R.I.B.E.® leaders. It took me a long time to find what worked for me, and even longer to not feel like I was going to fail my WLS. It wasn’t until I had my tight-knit tribe supporting me that I really felt like I could succeed.
I, along with my fellow T.R.I.B.E.® leaders, are all certified professionals that have been through weight loss surgery and the post-op struggles. We know what you’re going through, or what’s waiting for you after surgery.
"Since joining, I have achieved all my goals and have gone beyond where I thought I would be."
“I ended up joining the T.R.I.B.E.® program when I was just 3 months post op because I wanted to arm myself with all the information I needed to be successful and get support right away. Since joining I have achieved all my goals and have gone beyond where I thought I would be. Now being further post op I am looking for help navigating nutrition long term post op. I would recommend Jamie and this program to anyone on their WLS journey. It’s been incredible.”
- Dannie, T.R.I.B.E.® Member since April 2021
I’m here to tell you that with the right resources and work...
Your dream bariatric life is within reach!
The satisfaction of achieving your bariatric goals is priceless, babe.
And That’s All Within Reach!
I’m Jamie Mills!
To answer your first question – YES, I’m a Registered Dietitian who also has had weight loss surgery! A dietitian who struggles with food and her weight? Kind of sounds contradictory, doesn’t it?
Anyways, I had VSG in 2017. Since then I lost 112lbs and I’ve maintained 95-100 lbs of that initial loss for almost 2 years now, which I like to think is pretty cool! Even though I’m a dietitian, I struggled my WHOLE life with my weight. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 14 and was over 200lbs by the time I was 9.
I remember when I was deciding to have my surgery I felt so scared and overwhelmed. It was crazy to me actually, how little support there was both before and after my surgery. I felt so alone. I also remember thinking, as I was handed a binder filled with post op nutrition guidelines “Gosh, this is so overwhelming and frustrating! I have my degree in nutrition and this is hard to wrap my head around. How the heck do people who don’t have the education I’ve had make this work?”
Now let me guess, I’m sure you’re probably thinking…
Good news: it’s totally OKAY to be hesitant to try something new and have these questions.
- “Oh great, another diet plan that’s not going to work for me. I don’t want to start something just to fail at it again.”
- “Ugh, here comes another dietitian to scold me for my food choices. My RD at my bariatric center was so discouraging—is this going to be the same thing?”
- “I know in my heart I can’t do this alone anymore. I’m so scared I’m going to gain all my weight back if I don’t do something.”
- “I’m scared of investing more time and money into something new again. I’ve already tried every diet under the sun, is this really going to be what I need this time?”
Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all, babe! With a generic meal plan, there’s no accountability to put in the work, and you may still struggle with food and your weight. In the T.R.I.B.E.® Membership, my Bariatric Meal Plate process equips you with the long-term skills to feel confident in building a healthy plate and empowered in your food choices. This helped me so much after weight loss surgery, and continues to help my 1:1 clients!
The T.R.I.B.E.® supports all babes on their weight loss and weight loss surgery journeys. Anyone who wants to heal their relationship with food, and is ready to put in the work for long-term success, is a perfect fit for the T.R.I.B.E.® Whether you’re recently post-op, or it’s been years since your WLS, or you haven’t even had surgery yet—the T.R.I.B.E.® will absolutely help you.
ABSOLUTELY! VSG is becoming increasingly popular amongst the bariatric surgeries, which is why so many members of the T.R.I.B.E.® have had VSG. But ALL pre- and post-op women, those who identify as women, and nonbinary/non-gender conforming people from ALL bariatric surgeries are welcome (VSG, RNY, lap band, duodenal switch, you name it!). As a Registered Dietitian, I’m familiar with everything—and my bariatric meal plate method can be customized to any surgery type.
Anyone pre- or post-op can! My videos are done in stages, so you know exactly which stage you should be on based on your level of restriction. In general, most post-op bariatric babes can’t incorporate full well-rounded meals until at least 9+ months post-op (but this varies greatly from person to person!) Again, you must always check with your bariatric surgeon and dietitian before changing your diet post-op.
We don’t offer refunds, so I strongly recommend reading through the whole page so you know what to expect. Depending on the membership plan you select, you will be automatically re-billed so long as you continue to be a T.R.I.B.E.® member. As a member, you have access to the proprietary. You’re free to cancel at any time, but I’ll be sad to see you go. As long as you cancel before the billing period, you will not be charged for that month or future months.
A schedule is provided every month with dates for our live Q&As, guest expert calls, support groups and workouts! Dates will vary each month to accommodate multiple schedules. If you can’t make it, no worries! You can submit your questions and concerns before we go live, and everything will be recorded and saved, so you can go back and watch it later. We typically have around 20 live support group calls each month and they are held from 12pm-9pm in EST Sunday-Saturday. Please note, support group calls are not recorded to protect our members’ privacy.
No, you’re locked in, babe! As long as you continue to be a T.R.I.B.E.® member, the price will stay the same. If you cancel your membership and choose to come back later, I can’t guarantee the price will be as low as it is now. The T.R.I.B.E.® has so much to offer—we’re always adding more resources, support, and materials to the membership—and this is the lowest price the membership will ever be!
Not quite. The structure of these programs is very different, which is why I created the T.R.I.B.E.®! It’s my goal to give you support, guidance, and reliable information for your weight loss journey. The method I use in my 1:1 coaching program is what you see in the videos, guides, and workbooks I give you.
Definitely not, babe. You should continue to follow your surgeon’s guidelines and plan. Any information you learn or acquire in the membership should always be brought back and discussed with your own bariatric team. It’s important that they continue to be in charge of all your medical and nutritional care post-op, and it’s important to go to your routine checkups and lab draws. The T.R.I.B.E.® is not meant to replace or substitute medical or nutrition advice from your bariatric team. Joining the T.R.I.B.E.® is not a substitute for seeing a doctor, dietitian, therapist, or any other professional advice.
Just like our bariatric tools, this program only works as hard as you do! I so badly wish I could swoop in and do the work for you, babe. But I can’t. The resources and tools we provide are incredible and AMAZING, but they only “work” and get you the results you’re looking for if you’re holding yourself accountable and doing the work. Everything in the T.R.I.B.E.® is tried-and-true methods that have been so helpful for me on my bariatric journey. I’ve heard the same rigid rules in the doctor’s office. I’ve felt the same feelings of failure, anxiety, shame, and loneliness. It took hard work to keep going—and with the support of my fellow T.R.I.B.E.® leaders, I found the skills to empower myself and feel confident in my food and exercise choices. That’s why I started the T.R.I.B.E.®: to help babes like you, so you don’t have to feel lost in the dark. And you won’t find a membership like this to deliver the resources, support and community that we provide—I’m so confident that the T.R.I.B.E.® is exactly what you need to be successful on your journey and reach your goals.
In Facebook support groups, oftentimes there is a lot of confusing and misguided information. That won’t be happening here. The T.R.I.B.E.® Membership is a community, a support group hub, a one-stop-shop for bariatric videos, guides and workbooks, meal recipes, snack and coffee recipes, guest expert calls, live Q&As, and workouts. The T.R.I.B.E® is unlike any other membership out there. We offer a wealth of information, resources, and support from certified professionals and other babes that have all gone through weight loss surgery— and it’s all in one place!
No worries, babe! We were all pre-op at one point. Whether you’re pre-op, 4 months post-op, or 4 years post-op, there is a place for you in the T.R.I.B.E.® In the T.R.I.B.E.®, we support and encourage one another on our bariatric journeys, no matter which part of the journey you’re on.
Totally babe! I was nervous too when I first started connecting with other weight loss surgery babes. But we are all here to support and encourage each other to find our tribe, if you will. It’s my hope that regardless of whatever judgment or hardships you are facing in your daily life, that the T.R.I.B.E.® becomes a safe space for you to feel included, accepted, and hopefully find your best friends!
As long as you’re a T.R.I.B.E.® member, you can always access the materials!
For sure! This is your T.R.I.B.E.® too, babe. While some topics are already on the agenda (and there are a lot!), your input is greatly valued. We’ll send you surveys throughout your membership to give you the opportunity to tell us what topics you’d like us to cover—that way, you’ll get everything you need to be successful!
Absolutely! Being a member of the T.R.I.B.E.® is the perfect place to be while you wait for 1:1 coaching spots to open up. This way, you get a head start on learning my method, can ask questions, and will receive support from a whole community of babes who are working towards similar goals!
Epic wins bariatric babes experience in the membership may be shared on Instagram to provide inspiration to the bariatric community. But don’t worry babe, I would never share any identifying information on social media or any other public platform without your consent or permission. Anything said or shared in the T.R.I.B.E.® is safe, confidential and your privacy will be respected.
Absolutely! We would love to have you with us! Currently in the T.R.I.B.E.®, we have members from all over the world, including: the U.S. Canada, Australia, Israel, Ireland, and the UK! Please note, support group calls are typically from 12pm-9pm in EST Sunday-Saturday.

I’m so happy to give you these resources, babe — I wish I had all of them when I started my WLS journey.
Because this isn’t just any membership: the T.R.I.B.E.® is a resource hub for all bariatric patients to succeed in keeping the weight off and create a healthy relationship with food. In the T.R.I.B.E.®, you have a safe space and the support to keep you accountable as you put in the work to achieve your dream life. It won’t be easy, but it will be worthwhile. And these babes agree:
"It’s a breath of fresh air to find people who really can relate to your struggles and are open and honest about them"
“I was hesitant to join the T.R.I.B.E.® at first because I thought that it was more money than I wanted to spend compared to a copay at the doctors office. I think that what changed for me is knowing that the doctor’s office was a one and done deal and I figured I would sign up for one month of the T.R.I.B.E.® and see what I thought since I didn’t have to commit to any specific time. I decided I was worth it and I went through all the work to have surgery so I am worth battling this regain. I love that everyone in the T.R.I.B.E.® has walked the walk and can truly relate to bariatric patients – both pre-op and post-op. I joined because I wanted to get the right support and help with knocking off my regain. I am a work in progress but I have hope and I am starting to notice a slight shift in my mindset. This is such a supportive group and fun! There’s lots of support which really hits a lot of areas where I can use some support. I have also become friends with some of the members outside of just the chat and support group calls. The support here is better than anywhere else. Lots of people offering suggestions, empathy etc. It’s a breath of fresh air to find people who really can relate to your struggles and are open and honest about them – including T.R.I.B.E.® leaders. I’m so satisfied with the support and support groups. Also tons of materials to help. I no longer feel hopeless and like a failure. While I have a way to go I feel like I will actually get back on track. I would recommend the T.R.I.B.E.® to anyone—and for anyone hesitant to join, I would tell them, even if you join for just one month, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.”
- J.C., T.R.I.B.E.® Member since September 2021
"I've lost 35 Inches and 15+ BMI points since joining, in keeping with my post-op expectations!"
“I joined the T.R.I.B.E.® when I was a couple months post-op because I found I wasn’t getting the post-op support from my surgeon that I wanted. While the surgery was great and my medical care was awesome, the emotional support and food support wasn’t there. The T.R.I.B.E.® has been tremendously helpful in (a) keeping me on track (I’ve lost 35″ and 15+ BMI points since joining, in keeping with my post-op expectations) and (b) providing a supportive and encouraging community of other individuals dealing with the same. I would highly recommend the T.R.I.B.E.® (and Jamie!) to others, as it’s the best tool in my bariatric toolkit!”
