Weight There’s More – Get the Skinny with Sue & Kim

Season 2 | Episode 16: Post-Op Weight Loss Struggles

In this episode of Weight There’s More – Get the Skinny with Sue & Kim, Sue and Kim get real about the struggles that often come right after weight loss surgery.

While surgery can be life-changing, the early post-op phase can feel overwhelming—physically, mentally, and emotionally. From navigating liquid diets and protein goals to dealing with fatigue, emotions, food intolerance, and identity shifts, this season isn’t always talked about openly… but it needs to be.

Sue and Kim share their personal experiences, the unexpected challenges they faced, and what they wish they had known in those first critical weeks and months. They also offer practical suggestions for setting yourself up for success—focusing on mindset, patience, protein, hydration, structure, and support.

This episode is honest, encouraging, and grounded in lived experience. Whether you’re preparing for surgery, newly post-op, or years into your journey and reflecting back, this conversation reminds you that struggles don’t mean failure—they mean you’re adjusting to a new way of living.

Because weight loss surgery isn’t the finish line.
 It’s the beginning of learning how to live differently.
