Ep 19: We didn't get fat eating salads. Obesity, Accountability & the Hard Truths of Recovery

In this brutally honest episode of Bariatric Banter, Hannah and Steph dive deep into the messy middle of obesity, weight loss, and what it really takes to heal your relationship with food. From calling out the excuses we all make (“I was a boredom eater for sure”) to exploring how genetics, trauma, and instant gratification hijack our habits, this episode is part therapy, part tough love.

They also get candid about the behind-the-scenes struggles of monetizing a podcast, building a community post-surgery, and holding themselves accountable—publicly and privately. If you’ve ever justified poor food choices, felt the emotional weight of eating, or thought surgery would be the finish line (spoiler: it’s not), this one’s for you.

You’ll laugh. You’ll cringe. You’ll probably rethink your snack drawer.
