Episode 26: The Real Talk on Counting Calories (Our non-negotiable after Bariatric Surgery)
Description
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.
Drop a 📊 in the comments if you're ready to ditch the calorie fear and start tracking like a boss!
P.S. - Still looking for our American listeners to smuggle us some Target tortillas. We'll literally name the podcast after you. 😂
