Picking up from last week we'll be talking about SHAME, and what feelings come up after the surgery. Should I keep this secret? Should I tell people what I've done? Why do I feel like I cheated? Why do I keep comparing myself to others? Why am I still unhappy? Am I embarrassed of my loose skin? Was I happier when I was bigger?
There are alot of things that we battle inside of our heads, and today we will workout what we deal with after the surgery is done.
Tune in for a deep dive into the question of "Now what?"

Perhaps it's because I just came back from Jamaica that the episode title is a Damian Marley song.

Bring all the burning questions to the table! This is one not to be missed!
This week's episode of The Weighting Table Podcast is a great reminder of why we started this show in the first place. Like Murph did with me, this week's guest, Mike "@mike_page_" Page reached out to us for our "Ask Us Anything" episode, asking about stalls and his concerns with the weight not coming off during that time.
We reached out to him after the show and he shared with us his amazing story of struggling with addiction, his weight, and all the curveballs that life threw at him, only to come out stronger on the other side!
This episode is 1 part reflection, 1 part support, and 100% awesome!

On this week's episode of The Weighting Table Podcast, we celebrate the long haul!
Thursday is Rob's 2 Year RNY Surgeversary, and what better way to celebrate than to talk with other members of the bariatric community who have lived this amazing life for the long run! It's known that a large percentage of the bariatric community regress and even gain all of their weight back over time, so it's important to learn how to keep it going!
We will be joined by one of our amazing supporters, Marye "@tree_hugger_66 " Philipps Runnels, who has enjoyed 10 years of the post-bariatric lifestyle, losing over 150lbs and living her best active life!
I can't imagine a better gift on my surgeversary, than the chance to get a glimpse of the life that I can be living in another 8 years!
For all of our friends who are just starting their WLS journeys, THIS is the goal!!!
We now have 4 episodes under our belt and thought it would be a great time to do a recap episode and to include the ever popular "Ask Me Anything"!
Listeners dropped questions in the comments, messages and for added anonymous fun, our NGL link and left questions there to be answered live on Wednesday's episode!
We are super thankful for all the support that we've received over the past month and how open and interactive everyone has been with us!
Looking forward to reflecting on the past month's journey and to have some fun with all you amazing people!
My main question when I met my surgeon was, "If I am so limited on how much I can eat, can I still do endurance sports?"
I'm about to restructure my whole digestive tract and change 37 years of eating habits, and this is my main question??
The fact of the matter is that there are many changes that occur post-bariatric surgery, and if and how we can enjoy some of our passions and interests, comes into question. It's "the unknown" for many bariatric patients.
2 years ago, I never imagined I'd do a triathlon. I barely was able to walk to the mailbox, let alone do something like this. But like many amazing bariatric athletes, I've done it!
In light of me completing my first triathlon this weekend, The Weighting Table Podcast will be celebrating 2 amazing women in the bariatric community who have also answered the challenge of endurance sports, and have been killing it! We are honoured to have Carrie Perrier (@carrie_perrier_hawkins ) and Corinne MacKenzie (@paramedicchick78 ), come to the table this week, to share with us how they've completely flipped the switch to live the active lifestyles they do now, and delve into what keeps them going to keep pushing themselves to achieve more.
This one is for all of the people, bariatric surgery or not, who tell themselves "I can't do it".
Believe us... You can!
Hey guys! Â This episode of The Weighting Table Podcast, we are joined by one of the men who inspired both Murph and I throughout our bariatric journies! Â He was the first person that I connected with after my surgery, and it was on his show that Murph and I met and connected. Â He continues to inspire, educate and help men in our community, and we couldn't be any more honoured to welcome, Rob "@myweightishistory", to the Table!
They say that behind every great man, is a strong woman.
This week, we explore and celebrate that!
On this Wednesday's episode of The Weighting Table Podcast, Murph and I will be joined by Mary and Elise , the masterminds behind our households, and driving forces behind our successful weight-loss journeys (look at those "Husband Points" rack up lol)!!
If you ever wondered what it was like to walk a mile in the shoes, of the person trying to understand how to walk a mile in OUR shoes, tune in! Better yet, grab your significant other, tune-in, and then give them a hug/kiss/something else (đ) to show your appreciation!
Grab a seat... And welcome to OUR table!
Hey Guys! Pull up a chair! Weâre Rob & Murph and we are excited to start this new weekly podcast, to gather around the table and discuss all things bariatric, weighloss, exercise, nutrition and more!
