In this eye-opening episode of The Bariatric Rewrite Podcast, Helen and Evie sit down with Rewrite founder Shenelle Coplien to tackle some of the most common — and most damaging — myths about bariatric surgery.
From “you’ll never be hungry again” to “you can eat everything in moderation” and “if you regain, you’ve failed,” they unpack the real science, the lived experience, and the mindset shifts that make long-term success possible.
They discuss the truth about protein shakes, carbohydrates, caffeine, alcohol, and that ever-popular “pouch reset.” Shenelle explains why so much post-op advice is outdated, how metabolic health goes far beyond the scale, and what it really takes to build a lifestyle that lasts.
This conversation is packed with insight, honesty, and straight talk for anyone navigating life after weight loss surgery.
Listen now to learn why success isn’t about perfection — it’s about understanding your body and rewriting the rules.
