Episode 26: The Real Talk on Counting Calories (Our non-negotiable after Bariatric Surgery)

Ready for some spicy takes on calorie counting after bariatric surgery? 🌶️

Hannah and Steph are diving DEEP into the topic everyone's asking about but nobody wants to talk about - how the heck do you actually count calories post-surgery without spiraling into diet culture madness?

In this episode, we're spilling:

• Why your bariatric team won't give you macro numbers (and why it drives us absolutely NUTS)
• The protein-to-calorie hack that changed everything
• Why carbs aren't the devil (sorry, keto lovers!)
• How to fuel for exercise without eating back every calorie you burned
• Real MyFitnessPal screenshots from our actual days
• Why 1,500 calories is NOT "a lot" - spoiler: you're still under-eating!

Plus: Hannah's Garmin literally tried to kill her (not clickbait), we're still desperately searching for those Mission carb tortillas, and Steph had her first dumping experience with fancy cheese.

Whether you're pre-surgery and panicking about the numbers, or post-surgery and struggling to hit your goals, this episode is your permission slip to stop fearing food and start fueling your body properly.

P.S. - Still looking for our American listeners to smuggle us some Target tortillas. We'll literally name the podcast after you. 😂
