    Theresa Talks About Her Weight Regain

    Theresa had the gastric sleeve in September 2018 and lost about 100 pounds. Then she began to regain, eventually regaining 70. We talk about her highest weight before surgery and the illnesses it caused, the regain, her thoughts about why this happened, and east we need from doctors before surgery. We discuss how we support one another on our journeys, and Theresa gives advice to listeners contemplating the surgery (and it's not too late post-surgery!).

    Food Funerals: The"Farewell to Food Faves" Binge

    For some people a final food binge before bariatric surgery helps them to transition from the old life to a new life. For others, the binge is a disaster. I had one, and I talk about it. For more info on the pros and cons, visit am.madeyouthink.net/ff I'd love your feedback- if you had a final binge before surgery, what did you eat, and how did you feel about it both during and after? You can tweet me @adventuresomeme or instagram me a adventuresome.me, and tag it #s1e6.
