This week Kellie and Mel get to hangout with Ethan and talk about all things WLS and WLS bodybuilding. He is an inspiring guy and they ask all the questions. Nothing was off the table. Take a listen and enjoy!

We have a repeat guest, bariatric therapist Ashylyn. We learned so much from her in episode 193 that we had to have her back to dive deeper into transfer addictions that occur in the bariatric community after weight loss surgery. If you haven’t listened to that episode, go back and catch up now.

In this episode, we discussed the most common transfer addiction, alcohol, and the reasons why this transfer addiction may be happening and treatments to help. She also examines the dangerous behaviors of gambling, rage, debiting (shopping beyond your means), workaholics, sex, and shoplifting.

The primary treatment for many of these addictions is getting to the root cause and past traumas or self-protections that have led to these behaviors once food was no longer a viable coping mechanism. She encourages people to reach out if they feel that they’ve gone too far with behavior that makes them feel uncomfortable.

You do not fail; you learn. The more self-aware you are, the easier it becomes to recognize the triggers and help slow down these risky behaviors.

*Ashyn mentions the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) in this episode. The World Health Organization developed this test, and it’s used widely by health professionals. If you think you may have a drinking problem, please reach out for help.

Ashlyn Douglass-Barnes, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in her private practice at Advance Bariatric Counseling. She works with pre-op bariatric patients to complete the required psychological evaluation and post-op bariatric patients who need continued therapy after weight loss surgery. She also helps therapists pursue a focus on bariatric counseling with her course, Learn Bariatric Psychological Assessments.

Join us on this transformative episode of Our Sleeved Life Podcast as we embark on an incredible journey with Theresa (@transformingteresamarie). We unravel the layers of her inspiring 460lb weight loss, exploring not just the 'what' but the 'why' behind her weight gain.

In a raw and honest conversation, Theresa opens up about the profound moments that led to her weight struggles, sharing the emotional and mental aspects often overlooked in the weight loss narrative. We delve into the complexities of her past, addressing the underlying traumas that played a role in her journey, and how these experiences shaped her relationship with food.

Discover the pivotal role bariatric surgery played as a tool for her incredible transformation. Theresa's story is a testament to the fact that it's about addressing the roots of your struggles, doing the necessary mindset work, and seeking therapeutic support. We challenge the stereotypes by emphasizing that asking about diet and exercise alone won't unveil the full picture of a weight loss journey. Our conversation underscores the importance of delving into the emotional and psychological aspects, emphasizing that true healing involves a holistic approach.

But that's not all! We explore who Theresa is now, post-weight loss. Her journey is a beacon of resilience and self-discovery, highlighting that true transformation extends far beyond physical changes. Learn about the joys, challenges, and newfound strengths that define Theresa's current chapter.

Tune in for an episode that goes beyond the surface, encouraging everyone to embrace the complexities of their own journey and recognize that self-love is at the core of lasting change.
