    BARI BANTER - BARIATRIC PODCAST #224 - Tayla
    May 13 2025
    Today we are joined by Tayla @itstaylapaige as we open up about the powerful mental and physical shifts that come with weight loss surgery—from managing all-or-nothing mindsets and navigating newfound social attention, to celebrating the simple (yet meaningful) “non-scale victories” like giving big hugs or fitting comfortably into theater seats.

    Tayla shares honest reflections on her path, from initially postponing surgery out of uncertainty, to ultimately losing 85 kilos and discovering the importance of sustainable changes over radical transformations. The conversation also delves into managing chronic health conditions like endometriosis, the impact of support systems, and the sometimes surprising ways society can treat you differently after weight loss.

    This episode isn’t just about the numbers on the scale—it’s about breaking free from old patterns, building confidence, shifting mindsets, and learning to appreciate the little things.

    Whether you’re considering bariatric surgery or simply seeking inspiration for a healthier, happier life, this heartfelt conversation will leave you feeling empowered and seen.
