Episode notes

What happens when the scale stops moving, the compliments fade, and real life creeps back in? 😳

In this episode, Hannah and Steph pull back the curtain on the mental rollercoaster of bariatric life — from the rush of early milestones to the gut-punch of comparison, the sting of shame, and the silence of support fatigue.

It’s messy. It’s hilarious. It’s brutally honest. And it’s exactly the conversation we all need but rarely have. Whether you’re fresh post-op, years out, or just curious, this episode will make you laugh, nod, and maybe even ugly cry (we won’t judge).

🎧 Buckle up, babes — we’re going there.
