From heartfelt questions to unfiltered conversations about regain, identity, and boundaries, this episode proves why community is the most powerful tool for lasting success after surgery.   💡 What We Covered in Today's Episode Why community support is the missing piece in long-term bariatric success Balancing being both a patient and a professional in the WLS space Releasing the "weight-loss identity" and finding your purpose beyond the scale How to respond to food shaming and judgment with confidence Navigating regain, finding supportive practitioners, and advocating for yourself Why obesity is a chronic disease not a moral failure Resources Mentioned:  American Board of Obesity Medicine https://www.abom.org/ 💗 Thank You for Listening!

In today's episode, Jamie gets real about perfectionism, ADHD, and letting go of the need to have it all together. She opens up about her adult ADHD diagnosis, years of masking anxiety behind overachievement, and how learning to take messy action changed everything — in motherhood, business, and her bariatric journey. This is the reminder every recovering perfectionist needs: it doesn't have to be perfect to be enough.   💡 What We Covered in Today's Episode How perfectionism shows up as control, people-pleasing, and burnout The connection between ADHD, anxiety, and all-or-nothing thinking Why "overachiever" isn't the same as "perfectionist" (and why that matters) How Jamie learned to embrace messy action in motherhood and business Letting go of comparison and showing up imperfectly in your bariatric journey Why progress, not perfection, leads to real peace and happiness   💗 Thank You for Listening!

Welcome to Proffee & Chaos, the podcast where we get real about life after weight loss surgery, without the highlight reel. I'm Jamie, your host, a registered dietitian, bariatric patient, new mom, and self-proclaimed chaos coordinator. For years, I hesitated to add one more thing to the chaos of my life. But after countless requests from my community, I knew it was time to create a space that's raw, unfiltered, and truly supportive. This podcast isn't about telling you to "eat your protein" or "drink your water" (you already know that). Instead, it's about pulling back the curtain on the messy reality of bariatric life and everything that comes with it - GLP-1s, ADHD, motherhood, entrepreneurship, comparison, imposter syndrome, and the daily struggles no one talks about. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, behind, or like you're failing at this journey, you're in the right place. Here, imperfect is enough. Grab your proffee, pull up a chair, and join the Chaos Crew for honest conversations, laughter, and connection.   What You'll Hear in This Trailer: Who I am and why I created Proffee & Chaos The real story behind my bariatric journey and social media presence What to expect from upcoming episodes (nutrition, GLP-1s, ADHD, motherhood, entrepreneurship & more) Why this podcast isn't about perfection, it's about real life, messy moments, and finding community How to join the Chaos Crew and stay connected   ✨ Hit subscribe now so you never miss an episode.
