February 09, 2026Ep. 11: Hunger Games - 3 Years Post-Op
Three years post-op, Nina and Pam know that hunger doesn’t disappear—it just changes its disguise. In this episode, they open up about what hunger feels like now: the head hunger, the hormone shifts, and those surprise cravings that sneak in after years of feeling “under control.”
They talk candidly about how GLP-1s, appetite suppressants, mindful eating, and honest self-check-ins help them manage appetite while staying true to their goals. Expect some laughter, a few hard truths, and plenty of real-life tips from two women still walking the sleeve surgery path—just with a little more wisdom (and maybe a protein shake in hand).

January 04, 2026Ep. 6: The Weight We Carry: Overcoming the Hidden Struggles of WLS
Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) is often seen as a quick fix—but the real journey begins after the operating room. In this powerful episode of Bari-Chatz with Nina & Pam, we’re getting real about the emotional, mental, and physical challenges that come with WLS. From unexpected setbacks, body image battles, food addiction, to the pressure of meeting “goal weight,” we’re breaking the silence on the weight we carry that no scale can measure.
We’ll share personal stories, community insights, and practical tools to help you push through the hard days, reconnect with your “why,” and keep moving forward—because healing isn’t linear, and you’re not alone in this fight.
💜 Whether you're pre-op, post-op, or years into your journey—this one’s for you.
Together, we’ll remind you that you are stronger than the struggle.
