In this episode, host Mel sits down with Jessica Shock @jessica__shock to explore her mind-blowing 170-pound weight loss transformation following RNY gastric bypass surgery. From navigating a complex medical history including childhood cancer, a traumatic brain injury, and a post-op Crohn’s diagnosis to winning \"Overall Transformation\" in competitive bodybuilding, Jessica proves that weight loss surgery isn't the \"easy way out.\" In This Episode, You’ll Learn: The Reality of RNY Gastric Bypass: Jessica shares her raw experience of the first five days post-op, overcoming buyer's remorse, and navigating early eating struggles like the \"foamies\" and food intolerances. Overcoming a Complex Medical History: How Jessica managed major health hurdles including psoriatic arthritis, a brain injury, and getting diagnosed with Crohn's disease years after her weight loss surgery. The Mental Side of Bariatric Surgery: Why doing the deep mental work with a therapist to identify food triggers and tackle binge-eating cycles is vital for long-term bariatric success. Life After Skin Removal Surgery: Jessica opens up about the emotional and physical transformation of undergoing two skin removal surgeries (including a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck). Bodybuilding After Bariatric Surgery: How Jessica rebuilt her mindset and physique, hired a bariatric-savvy coach, and ended up taking home first-place trophies on the transformation stage. Practical Post-Op Advice: Real talk on tracking macros, reading food labels, managing \"skinny privilege,\" and why a strong support system changes everything.
