What is goin on Busy Bariatrics…

We just got back from Orlando where we talked to over 100 bariatric patients and asked one simple question:

What’s actually holding you back?

Same answers… every time.

Not surgery.
Not meds.

Habits. Patterns. Behaviors you already know you’re doing.

In this episode, you’re getting all angles…

Stacey heard people overwhelmed and all over the place with nutrition
Lisa saw people who want to lift but have no clue what to do
Kylie is calling out the food relationship that’s still running the show

And me… tying it all together.

We break down:

Why your calendar is a mess and you keep deleting yourself
Why you’re trying to eat “normal” while food still controls you
Why your nutrition feels chaotic instead of structured
Why the gym feels intimidating… so you avoid it
Why “I don’t have time or money” is just your priorities telling the truth

No fluff in this one.

Just patterns… and how to fix them.

If you’ve ever said “I’m not even hungry… so why can’t I stop eating?” this episode is going to hit home.

In this conversation, Rob DiMedio sits down with Jared Hamilton to break down food noise, emotional eating, and why so many bariatric and GLP-1 patients struggle with nighttime overeating even when they’ve “done everything right.”

You’re not dealing with a lack of willpower. You’re dealing with patterns, habits, and behaviors that were never addressed.

Inside this episode, we cover:

• What food noise actually is and why it has nothing to do with hunger
• Why bariatric surgery and GLP-1 medications help, but don’t fix the root problem
• The real reason you lose control at night after being “good all day”
• How emotional eating patterns are formed and reinforced over time
• The question that helps you break the binge-restrict cycle for good
• Why journaling is one of the most effective tools for stopping overeating

If you’re tired of starting over every Monday, tracking perfectly with no results, or feeling like a different person takes over at night… this episode will show you what’s actually going on and what to do next.

This is for bariatric patients, GLP-1 users, and anyone who wants to fix their relationship with food without extreme dieting or white-knuckling their way through it

Ryan is an expert in Busy Bariatrics Summer Camp

You’re tracking your food
You’re getting your workouts in
You’re “trying to stay consistent”

So why isn’t the scale moving?

Here’s the truth…

You’re not stuck.
You’re leaking progress in ways you don’t even see.

In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Kassim, one of the best coaches in the game when it comes to identifying the habits, patterns, and behaviors that silently keep people stuck.

We break down:

• Why effort isn’t your problem… execution is
• The difference between guilt and shame (and why one actually helps you)
• The real reason you keep “starting over Monday”
• How to build momentum even when life punches you in the face
• Why boring habits are the key to sustainable fat loss
• The biggest mistake bariatric patients make after year one

If you’ve ever said “I’m doing everything right”… this episode is going to hit different.

GLP-1 Not Working? Why Bariatric Patients Stall (And How to Fix It)

If your GLP-1 medication isn’t working the way you expected… this episode is going to clear a lot up.

Because here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear:

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are powerful tools… but they are not magic.

They don’t fix your habits.
They don’t build muscle.
They don’t change your environment.

And if you don’t understand how to use them correctly… you can absolutely stall, plateau, or even regain weight.

In this episode of the Busy Bariatrics Podcast, I sit down with registered dietitian and GLP-1 expert Summer Kessel to break down exactly why some bariatric and GLP-1 patients struggle to lose weight… and what actually needs to change.

We go deep into food noise, appetite regulation, behavior change, and the real reason consistency breaks down… even when you’re “doing everything right.”

If you feel like you keep starting over every Monday… this episode is going to hit.

Because the problem isn’t that you don’t know what to do.

The problem is you don’t have a system to actually follow through.

In this episode, I’m joined by the Busy Bariatrics coaching team as we break down why so many bariatric and GLP-1 patients struggle with consistency… especially after the New Year motivation wears off.

We’re talking real-life challenges:
Busy schedules
Kids, work, travel, stress
Winter burnout turning into summer panic

And most importantly… what actually works when life isn’t perfect.

You’ll learn:

• Why motivation fades and what to rely on instead
• The biggest mistakes bariatric patients make after surgery
• How all-or-nothing thinking is killing your progress
• What to do when your weight loss stalls
• How to stay consistent with nutrition, workouts, and habits
• Simple ways to hit your protein, water, and step goals
• How to stop “starting over” and finally build momentum
• Why your environment and support system matter more than willpower

We also go behind the scenes of Busy Bariatrics Summer Camp…

Including:
• 20+ expert guest speakers in bariatric nutrition, mindset, and GLP-1 support
• Live coaching, real-time Q&A, and actionable strategies
• How to get the most out of the program
• Why community is the missing piece for long-term success

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of:
“I’ll start Monday”
“I fell off this weekend”
“I know what to do, I just don’t do it”

This episode will show you exactly how to break that pattern.

Because results don’t come from knowing more.

They come from doing the basics… consistently.

What’s goin on Busy Bariatrics. In this episode, I sit down with Lindsay Czarra to talk about what it really takes to live your life and still crush your goals after bariatric surgery.

Lindsay shares her journey of losing weight, rebuilding her confidence, and preparing for her wedding while balancing a demanding schedule. We dig into the mindset shifts that helped her stop chasing perfection, how she handled the holidays without backsliding, and what it means to enjoy the big moments without letting old habits sneak back in.

We talk about building realistic routines after weight loss surgery, creating accountability that actually sticks, and how planning ahead keeps you consistent when life gets chaotic.

Lindsay’s story shows that thriving after bariatric surgery isn’t about restriction — it’s about learning how to fuel your body, manage your mindset, and stay adaptable when life doesn’t go as planned.

If you’ve ever struggled with staying on track through major life events or felt like you had to choose between discipline and joy, this episode will help you see that you can have both.

In this episode, I sit down with Karen Kenney to tackle one of the most overlooked parts of bariatric surgery: what happens to your identity when the weight starts coming off. We talk about how personal stories shape the way you see yourself, why so many patients struggle to navigate who they are post-surgery, and the emotional tools you need to stay grounded through it all.

Karen shares how trauma, vulnerability, and trust play into the healing process and why community support is so essential to long-term success. We also dig into what it takes to build a healthier relationship with yourself and food so you don’t fall back into old patterns.

If you’ve ever thought, “I should feel happy after surgery… so why don’t I?” this conversation will change the way you see your journey. Because the truth is, losing weight is one thing — but finding yourself after bariatric surgery is a whole different battle.

What is goin’ on Busy Bariatrics?!

I’m fired up about this episode, because it kicks off a really exciting collaboration.

Busy Bariatrics is proud to be partnering with Body by Transformation Retreat, hosted by Dr. Betsy Dovec. This conversation is a preview of the kind of real, honest discussions we’re bringing to Orlando when our communities come together.

Dr. Betsy has built something special with this retreat. It brings patients, providers, and coaches into the same room to talk about the parts of the bariatric journey that usually get brushed past. The mindset shifts, the long-term strategy, the support systems that actually help people keep moving forward years after surgery.

In this episode we cover a lot of ground. We talk about the honeymoon phase and what happens when progress slows down. We dig into revisions, long-term follow-up care, GLP-1 medications, cosmetic surgery decisions, and how patients can navigate all of it without feeling lost in the noise.

We also talk about community. The people around you matter more than most patients realize. The right environment can pull you forward. The wrong one will drag you right back into old habits.

This episode gives you a front-row seat to the type of conversations that will be happening at the Body by Transformation Retreat in Orlando this May, where Busy Bariatrics and Dr. Betsy will be working together to support patients who want more than surface-level advice.

What’s goin’ on Busy Bariatrics — in this episode, I sit down with Lorinda Faye to talk about one of the biggest hurdles in fitness after bariatric surgery: confidence. We dig into what it actually takes to walk into a gym without feeling like everyone’s watching, how to build that confidence from the ground up, and why your mindset matters more than your macros sometimes.

Lorinda shares her story of starting her fitness journey later in life, proving that it’s never too late to get strong. We talk about the myths around “bulking,” the social pressure that can throw you off track, and how strength training and proper nutrition helped her completely rewrite her story.

She also opens up about writing her book Iron Confidence and how she’s helping others find their voice, strength, and self-worth through it.

This one’s about getting out of your own head, owning your space, and remembering that confidence isn’t built by waiting to feel ready — it’s built by showing up anyway.
