My Gastric Sleeve

This episode is all about my 6-month updates. All the things that I have experienced, where I was, where I am now, my successes, my failures, and more. I hope you enjoy!

In this episode we discuss my weight loss, the exercises I've done, how I feel, and what I want to do in the future, or rather FOR my future.

In this episode, we will discuss the perils of holiday food. All the drinks, the food spreads, and the parties. Not to mention the pressure to eat and drink and "try new dishes". I will give some pointers, and tell you how I've dealt with it in the past.

This episode will be a different kind of questions and answers episode. This time I will be asking my patient and lovely wife some questions about her experience and her journey through all of this. We laugh, we interrupt each other, and we get to some interesting parts. Spoiler alert, I say the word "interesting" like 4 times in 2 minutes. It's annoying. Enjoy!

This episode we discuss the terrible yo-yo effects of diets, and weight loss by the numbers. Also, how scale victories mean more to some than others. Did I lose 100 pounds? Listen and find out yourself. (spoiler alert - I did!)
