In this brutally honest episode of Bariatric Banter, Hannah and Steph dive deep into the messy middle of obesity, weight loss, and what it really takes to heal your relationship with food. From calling out the excuses we all make (“I was a boredom eater for sure”) to exploring how genetics, trauma, and instant gratification hijack our habits, this episode is part therapy, part tough love.

They also get candid about the behind-the-scenes struggles of building a community post-surgery, and holding themselves accountable—publicly and privately. If you’ve ever justified poor food choices, felt the emotional weight of eating, or thought surgery would be the finish line (spoiler: it’s not), this one’s for you.

You’ll laugh. You’ll cringe. You’ll probably rethink your snack drawer.

Thinking about weight loss surgery? Hit play before you book that consultation. In this episode, Hannah and Steph reveal the 10 things they really wish they knew before going under the knife—from the myth of food funerals to the mental weight of the post-op journey.

We get real about: – Why the scale lies (and inches tell the truth) – The emotional chaos of the “in-between” stage – Taste bud betrayal, constipation, and other curveballs – The mental health side no one talks about

This isn’t medical advice. It’s real talk from two people who’ve lived it—and are still figuring it out. Whether you’re pre-op, post-op, or somewhere in the messy middle, you’ll leave this episode feeling seen, supported, and a little more ready for what’s ahead.

What happens after the weight comes off? In this candid, heartfelt episode, Canadian content creators Hannah and Steph sit down with @Bypasskass to unpack the emotional aftermath of bariatric surgery.

From loose skin and body dysmorphia to changing relationships, shifting identities, and the pressures of content creation in the health space, nothing is off limits.

Whether you're considering surgery or deep in your own journey, this episode is your reminder: healing isn’t just physical. It’s mental. It’s emotional. It’s ongoing. And you’re not alone.

There’s a lot they don’t tell you about bariatric surgery — and even more they get completely wrong.

In this myth-busting episode, Hannah and Steph dive into the real truths about surgery, recovery, eating habits, pain management, body image, mental health, and post-op life.

Topics include: ✅ Why surgery isn’t the "easy way out" ✅ The truth about pain and recovery ✅ What eating actually looks like post-op ✅ Busting the "no carbs ever again" myth ✅ How food culture impacts healing ✅ Managing hair loss and body changes ✅ The role of personal responsibility in success

Plus, they share personal stories, real advice, and what they wish someone had told them before surgery.

Whether you're considering surgery, recovering now, or supporting someone who is — this is a conversation you can't afford to miss.
