Description
Epi 305
Bariatric surgery is life-changing, but what happens when regret creeps in? Whether it’s right after surgery, months later, or even years down the road, many people experience fear, doubt, and frustration along the way.
In this episode of Our Sleeved Life Podcast, Mel & Kellie open up about the emotional side of weight loss surgery—the moments of
“What did I do?”, struggling with food choices, and the impact on relationships. They share personal experiences, discuss common fears, and offer real advice on how to move forward when regret sets in.
What we talk about in this episode:
- Why post-op regret happens and how long it lasts
- The emotional rollercoaster of weight loss surgery
- Food cravings, restrictions, and learning to enjoy meals again
- Navigating changes in relationships and support systems
- Why comparison can hold you back—and how to focus on YOUR progress
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or questioning your journey, this episode is for you. You are not alone!
