    Sep 30 2024
    Today’s episode features a heartfelt discussion with our guest Katie @vsg_me_in_23, who joins us for a deep dive into the need for insecurity and validation, the importance of community support, and the transformative journey of bariatric surgery.



    Together, we reflect on our individual experiences and shared revelations in maintaining one’s health, coping with societal judgments, and embracing new beginnings.



    Katie opens up about her extensive research prior to surgery, the decision-making process, and the emotional realisations that have accompanied her journey. We also delve into the importance of self-care, understanding food cravings, and the mental adjustments post-surgery.

    Sep 16 2024
    In today's episode, we are joined by Deb @just_debsie_theog, a returning guest whose candid reflections offer an invaluable look into the post-surgery landscape.



    Together, the trio delves into the intricate interplay between emotional well-being, food addiction, and the hidden realities of fitness. They unpack how trauma and food became coping mechanisms, blurring the lines between physical health and deeper emotional issues.



    Deb shares her journey with weight fluctuations, her recent use of Ozempic to curb food cravings, and the struggles with maintaining mental health in the face of financial constraints. The conversation highlights the stigma around medical interventions, the impact of social media, and the importance of genuine community support.



    Reflecting on past experiences and milestones, they discuss the significance of sustainable habits, coping strategies for those starting their bariatric journey, and the value of private reflection over social media validation.

Whether you're at the beginning of your bariatric journey or a seasoned veteran, this episode is packed with insights and reflections that resonate on a personal level.
