You're not alone, regain after weight loss surgery happens, and it hurts.
In this raw, honest episode, Registered Dietitian Jamie Mills opens up about the silent grief of bariatric regain, and what it actually means when the scale starts creeping back up.

Jamie shares her personal 28-lb regain story, the shame and identity crisis that followed, and the science behind why regain happens even when you're "doing everything right." You'll learn the truth about metabolic adaptation, calorie deficits, and how to rebuild your metabolism without falling into restriction again.

She also dives into:

• The emotional side of regain no one talks about

• How to stop letting the scale define your worth

• The difference between rebound and true regain

• Why mindset, support, and nourishment matter more than numbers
  
  

Stick around till the end, Jamie shares exactly how she healed her relationship with food and finally found peace post-op. 💗
