Weight regain after bariatric surgery is one of the hardest and least discussed parts of the journey — and it does not mean you failed.

In Part 2 of this Bariatric Paths conversation, Jatoyia and bariatric coach Allyson Jackson go deeper on food noise, emotional eating, GLP-1 medications, and the mental side of long-term success after gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery.

This episode covers the real conversation around why so many post-op patients struggle years after surgery — the shame around regain, the trap of "starting over," and how to rebuild without punishment or extremes.

You'll hear honest conversation about emotional eating and coping mechanisms after weight loss surgery, why therapy should be part of standard bariatric care, the truth about food cravings post-op, sustainable habit changes vs crash dieting, and why a slip is not a slide.

This episode is a reminder: regain is not failure, and you are not alone in this process.
