Sacrifices Before & After Bariatric Surgery (ft. Puppy Flynn 🐶✨)
Welcome back, OSLP Fam! 💖 It’s Kellie & Mel here, and today we’re diving into the real sacrifices that come with weight loss surgery—before AND after the procedure. From food freedom to emotional shifts, we’re breaking it all down with honesty, humor, and maybe a few puppy interruptions…
👋 Special Guest: Meet Flynn, our 12-week-old studio corgi, who’s here to steal the show with cuteness and chaos. 🐾

Pre-Surgery Sacrifices:
🥤 Liquid diets & saying goodbye to favorite foods
