October 22, 2025 Episode 251: Big T AND Little t Trauma in Your Weight Journey
Many of us think we escaped life without having experienced trauma. I say, “Guess again!” because as it turns out, many – if not most people – do experience the internal pain that is trauma, related to either big T or little t traumatic events. Trauma impacts how we react to stress in life… and our reactions to stress are often what lead us directly to the things that steer us away from maintaining weight loss or refraining from alcohol/other drug use, excessive spending, or other unhealthy behaviors. That means that unrecognized and unresolved emotional damage from traumatic events may be interfering with your ability to sustain the healthy lifestyle behaviors necessary for ongoing weight loss… not to mention the ability to have healthy interpersonal relationships. You’re gonna want to hear and share today’s episode!

October 15, 2025 Episode 250: This Post op guy is giving back to the bariatric community in a big way!
We see and hear from so many fewer males in the bariatric sommunity than we do females. Today’s guest, an incredible male post-op, teaches us all a great lesson: If what you need to help ensure your success in maintaining your weight loss isn’t available, create it! Aaron Goodman, who had bariatric surgery shortly before the COVID pandemic, took some courageous steps to get what he needed and in doing so, provided an amazing resource for others, as well! Listen in and hear what Aaron did, which was an amazing act of self-care and an avenue for others to create a supportive and encouraging path for you, too, if you choose to join him!

October 08, 2025 Episode 249: Ill-Prepared and/or Ill-Equipped
As you go about your life after having a surgical bariatric procedure, or while taking a GLP-1 for weight loss, you are going to encounter situations in which you are faced with stress… as in every day… you are dealing with stressful situations. You are going to be in situations requiring you to deal with conflict (do you know how to do so?). You’ll find yourself needing to set boundaries with people (are you able to do this?). You’ll find yourself reacting to triggers by engaging in unhealthy habit patterns that are well-enstablished in your brain. Have you been prepared as to how to handle these things without turning to food or another unhealthy coping mechanism? Are you equipped with the tools and skills to do so? Those are some of the things we talk about in today’s episode. The Weight Loss Winformation Podcast gives you essential psychological information to help you lose weight and more importantly, to help keep you at a healthy weight for your body! No matter how you are working to lose weight and no matter how much weight you want to lose, Weight Loss Winformation will keep you moving in a positive direction. Let’s get started because well… Why Weight? (get it? Pun intended… )?”

September 24, 2025 Episode 247: Body Image… Distortion or Dysmorphia?
I’ve talked about this before but today I have BariAftercare’s very own Shea Quinn joining me to discuss a common topic … a topic that is often misrepresented in the bariatric community… related to body image! Word on the street is that a lot of people who lose a significant amout of weight refer to themselves as have Body Dysmorphia. That is likely not the case as you’ll learn as you listen to the critical information people need to understand about what body dysmorphic disorder is and what it is NOT as explained in this episode. The Weight Loss Winformation Podcast gives you essential psychological information to help you lose weight and more importantly, to help keep you at a healthy weight for your body! No matter how you are working to lose weight and no matter how much weight you want to lose, Weight Loss Winformation will keep you moving in a positive direction.

August 27, 2025 Episode 243: GLP-1’s, Part 7. Dr. Daniel Kaufman on Skin Removal Following Weight Loss
“Welcome to Weight Loss Winformation - I’m your host, Dr. Connie Stapleton. This is episode 243. Today’s discussion with plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Kaufman isn’t directly related to GLP-1 medications. Yet significant weight loss by any means sometimes leads to body reconstruction. To that end, this episode wraps up our series on GLP-1 agonists! Much to many a person’s chagrin, when they lose a significant amount of weight in a short time, they are sometimes left with maybe a little bit – or maybe quite a bit of loose skin. Some people opt to have the skin removed surgically. That is the reason we are speaking today with Dr. Daniel Kaufman, board certified plastic surgeon who shares with us factual and fascinating medical information related to skin removal following weight loss. The Weight Loss Winformation Podcast gives you essential psychological information to help you lose weight and more importantly, to help keep you at a healthy weight for your body! No matter how you are working to lose weight and no matter how much weight you want to lose, Weight Loss Winformation will keep you moving in a positive direction. Let’s get started because well… Why Weight? (get it? Pun intended… )?”
