Bari-Chatz Ep. 11 Hunger Games

Three years post-op, Nina and Pam know that hunger doesn’t disappear—it just changes its disguise. In this episode, they open up about what hunger feels like now: the head hunger, the hormone shifts, and those surprise cravings that sneak in after years of feeling “under control.”

They talk candidly about how GLP-1s, appetite suppressants, mindful eating, and honest self-check-ins help them manage appetite while staying true to their goals. Expect some laughter, a few hard truths, and plenty of real-life tips from two women still walking the sleeve surgery path—just with a little more wisdom (and maybe a protein shake in hand).
