To finding lasting success after weight loss surgery, we have to do two things: acknowledge the role food has played in our lives and reframe these relationships to serve our new lives. Easier said than done.

We had the opportunity to sit down with Kedric Barrett, the amazing human behind the podcast Sleeved Believe the Hype- a show that chronicles the ups and downs of weight loss surgery in the most honest and real ways. Ked shared the role food played in his life before surgery and how has he reframed his relationship with food to work for him, not against him. We also discuss what it means to live life as a large human and the lasting impacts of our size on our family, friends, and careers. He is also passionate about speaking about the importance of following our doctor's orders before and after surgery, and he explains why in this episode.
