Interesting Podcast on Weight Loss Surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I recently came across the Weight Loss Surgery Podcast on iTunes, and I have found really interesting and informative.

It's done by a bariatric coordinator and nurse in Oregon, and she has over 70 podcasts up so far....most are over an hour long. She interviews doctors, researchers, bariatric bloggers, psychologists, exercise experts, and patients with a compelling story.

If you are an information junkie like me, or info you can listen to on the go, check it out.

I'll give you a link to this particular episode, which covered the topic of weight set point, the biology of weight, and why bariatric surgery works differently than any other solution. Hope you like it, there's tons to listen to in her archives:

I just finished listening to this podcast. I am going to have to listen to it again to make sure I understood it the way I thought I did.

One of the things that he touched on is one of the things I have learned over the past few years trying to deal with my weight. All calories are not the same. What we eat and how it affects our bodies varies.

This is one of the papers he refers to often during the talk. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4240228/

The set point and regain are really important to listen to and that is the part I want to listen to again and pay close attention to.

Thank you for sharing this.

Totally welcome, and I agree... There is so much in there that it is worth listening to more than once. I picked up a lot more the second time I listened to it.

I love this podcast and have been a regular listener since the beginning of the year. Reeger is wonderful and I'm so grateful to have all the info she shares. That podcast on set point and regain is saved on my computer because it's so good. The other good one I really recommend is this one on the biology of body weight http://www.weightlosssurgerypodcast.com/056-randy-seeley-phd-the-biology-of-body-weight/

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
