Former Fat Friend

Episode 2: In this episode of the Former Fat Friend Podcast, we open the doors to Lisa's world - she's part of our amazing trio who have together lost over 370 pounds! From her life-long battle with obesity to a life-altering gastric sleeve surgery, Lisa takes us on her inspiring journey. Discover the highs and lows of her weight loss journey, her experiments with dieting and her ultimate decision to opt for bariatric surgery as a life-saving intervention.

Giving voice to her fears and anxieties, Lisa opens up about the challenges of adapting to a new lifestyle after surgery. Emotional hurdles often proved more challenging than physical recovery.

Despite her initial struggles, Lisa's narrative resonates with determination, perseverance, and new-found confidence. From dealing with emotional trauma to successfully managing her food and hydration intake post-surgery, every bit unfolds in a story that is simultaneously heart-wrenching and uplifting.
