About this listen

What is goin’ on Busy Bariatrics?!

In this episode, I’m joined by Megan Moore — a post-op dietitian who actually gets it (no, she’s not gonna tell you to eat plain chicken and cry through your macros). We dive into why muscle building is the real main character after bariatric surgery — not the scale drama you keep starring in.

We get into:

  • Why protein isn’t just a number — it’s your ticket to keeping your hair, your muscle, and your last shred of sanity

  • How learning to cook isn’t about being the next Top Chef — it’s about not door-dashing your results into the toilet

  • And why a cookie-cutter plan is a great way to get cookie-cutter regret

Megan dishes out real advice on how to eat without fear, personalize your nutrition without losing your mind, and find actual joy in food again — without spiraling into “I ruined everything” mode over one damn taco.

If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through post-op life thinking food is the enemy, this one’s your wake-up call. Because spoiler alert: you don’t need to eat less — you need to eat right for your goals.

💥 Screenshot this episode, tag me @myweightishistory, and share it with your fellow bariatric badasses — because this podcast isn’t about perfection… it’s about finally getting it right.

Now go hit your protein… and keep gettin’ BUSY.
