About this listen

This week on Bariatric Banter, we’re getting honest about something nobody talks about enough: what happens when the bad habits start creeping back in.

From “healthy” restaurant traps that are secretly 900+ calories, to under-eating protein, to hitting that bariatric crash where your whole body shuts down — we’ve been there. And we’re talking about it.

We dive into:

  • The reality of “zero to hangry” after surgery
  • Why you can’t “catch up” on protein or water later
  • How eating out too often slowly becomes a problem
  • The mental battle of feeling judged when you eat
  • Grazing, group pressure, and restaurant culture
  • Learning to advocate for yourself (even when it’s uncomfortable)

This episode is a reminder that you’re not failing — but awareness matters. If you feel like you’ve been slipping a little lately, this conversation is for you.

Because bariatric surgery isn’t about going back to old habits without consequences. It’s about learning how to protect your progress — even when it’s inconvenient.
