The Truth About GLP-1s after weight loss surgery

Description

In this episode of The Busy Bariatrics Podcast, I sat down with Jamie Mills—a registered dietitian, a fellow bariatric patient, and someone who just gets it on every level. We talked about her personal journey through weight loss, what it’s really like navigating GLP-1 medications, and how movement, nutrition, and mindset all have to play together if you're in this for the long haul.

Jamie opened up about the postpartum challenges no one prepares you for, what it means to build a real relationship with food, and how family dynamics (yes, even the well-meaning ones) can totally shape our eating habits—for better or worse.

We also got into the emotional and cultural side of food—how it’s never just about calories—and why showing up for yourself with realistic goals is the key to long-term success. If you’ve ever felt alone in the process, this episode is going to remind you that you’re far from it.
