About this listen

 Weight loss surgery is only the beginning—and nobody really talks about what comes after. Proffee & Chaos is the unfiltered podcast where WLS meets real life. Hosted by Jamie Mills, a bariatric dietitian and patient herself, this show goes beyond nutrition tips or weight loss advice. Jamie pulls back the curtain on the ins, outs, ups, and downs of life after surgery—the stuff no one prepared you for. From regain and GLP-1s, to body image, mom life, food freedom, and the pressure to "do it perfectly," nothing is off limits. Jamie shares her own journey alongside raw conversations with patients, providers, and everyday people surviving the chaos too. Whether you're fresh out of surgery, years into maintenance, or just curious what life after WLS is really like—you'll find connection, community, and the conversations you've been waiting for. The ones that don't just focus on weight loss, but rather, your identity outside of it. Because at the end of the day, it's not just about the diet, the scale, or the vitamins. It's about learning to live fully—through the chaos. New episodes every Thursday.2025 Alternative & Complementary Medicine Hygiene & Healthy Living

  • The Chaos of Trying to Do It All — And Wanting to Do Less in 2026

    The Chaos of Trying to Do It All — And Wanting to Do Less in 2026
    Dec 25 2025
    I'm burnt out… and I'm finally saying it out loud. If you've been trying to "do it all" and you feel like you're running on fumes, this episode is going to hit home. This week, I'm opening up about what 2025 really looked like behind the scenes — the pressure, the constant to-do lists, juggling motherhood and business, feeling stretched thin, and realizing that something has to shift moving into 2026. This isn't a New Year's resolution episode. It's an honest conversation about burnout, slowing down, letting go of unrealistic expectations, and finally choosing a year that feels different — calmer, more intentional, more spacious. Inside this video, we dive into: ✨ The emotional load of motherhood + business ✨ How burnout sneaks up even when you "love your life" ✨ Why constant hustle stops working ✨ The truth about tying your worth to numbers (weight, likes, revenue) ✨ How I'm redefining success for 2026 ✨ And why "doing less" might be the real glow-up Whether you're a bariatric patient, a mom, an entrepreneur, or someone who just feels fried from life… you're not alone. Watch until the end — I share the word I'm choosing for 2026, and it might inspire yours too. BARIATRIC BREAKTHROUGH PROGRAM - ENROLLING NOW!

  • "Did You Mean to Say That Out Loud?" Navigating Holiday Chaos with Better Boundaries

    "Did You Mean to Say That Out Loud?" Navigating Holiday Chaos with Better Boundaries
    Dec 18 2025
    The holidays bring enough chaos, the last thing you need is unsolicited comments about your body, food choices, or weight loss surgery. In this episode of Proffee & Chaos, Jamie gets real about one of the most important skills you'll ever build on your post-op journey: boundaries. Whether you're navigating relatives who push food, friends who love to comment on your appearance, or people with very loud opinions about GLP-1s, Jamie walks you through exactly how to respond with clarity, confidence, and zero guilt. You'll learn how to set boundaries with others, and the often forgotten piece, how to set boundaries with yourself. She shares real scripts, mindset shifts, and tough-love reminders to help you honor your needs without letting people-pleasing run the show. If you're heading into your first holiday season after WLS or you're years post-op and still struggle with comments around food or your body, this conversation will help you breathe easier and feel more prepared. You deserve to enjoy this season without anxiety, shame spirals, or second-guessing yourself. Grab your proffee, get cozy, and let's build boundaries that actually protect your peace.

  • Chaos, Calories & Calling Out The BS with Rob DiMedio

    Chaos, Calories & Calling Out The BS with Rob DiMedio
    Dec 11 2025
    Struggling with regain? Feeling like you're doing "everything right" but the scale won't budge? You are not alone — and today's episode will hit home. In this brutally honest conversation, Jamie sits down with Rob DiMedio — bariatric patient, teacher, personal trainer, and creator of Busy Bariatrics and @myweightishistory — to unpack the real reasons post-op patients struggle with food noise, tracking obsession, regain, and conflicting advice. Together, they dig into the messy middle of bariatric life: macros vs. intentional eating, why calorie trackers can backfire, how chronic under-eating fuels bingeing, and the emotional weight of trying to "get it right" years after surgery. If you've ever felt ashamed, stuck, overwhelmed, or terrified of slipping back into old habits — this episode might be the permission slip you've needed. Watch until the end for insight on: ✨ Why tracking works for some people but destroys progress for others ✨ The truth about food noise (and how to quiet it) ✨ How cultural foods absolutely fit post-op ✨ Why sandwiches, potatoes & pasta aren't the enemy ✨ What regain actually means — and what it doesn't ✨ How to build meals that keep you full AND support weight loss ✨ GLP-1s, mindset, metabolism, and real-life bariatric living 🔗 LINKS FROM TODAY'S EPISODE Rob's Website → https://www.busybariatrics.com Rob's Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/myweightishistory/ BARIATRIC BREAKTHROUGH PROGRAM - ENROLLING NOW!
