from Binge Free Bestie · host Nic Gaviria: Binge Free Bestie

I thought surgery would be the answer. I thought losing weight would fix everything. But no one told me that weight loss surgery doesn’t heal binge eating- for me, it actually made it worse.If you’ve ever believed that weight loss was the key to happiness, or if you’ve considered (or already had) weight loss surgery and still feel stuck in the cycle of binge eating, this episode is for you.In this raw and honest episode, I’m sharing the real truth about my gastric sleeve surgery—what I expected, what actually happened, and the biggest lessons I learned when I realized shrinking my body didn’t fix my struggles with food.I break down:✔️ What my life looked like before surgery—endless diets, food obsession, and feeling out of control.✔️ The initial high of rapid weight loss—and why I thought I had “fixed” my eating.✔️ The moment I realized I was still binge eating—even with a tiny stomach.✔️ The truth about weight loss surgery and binge eating recovery (the part no one warns you about).✔️ The steps I actually took to heal—beyond just losing weight.💜 If you’re feeling stuck, if you’re tired of chasing the next weight loss solution, or if you just want to know how to finally feel at peace with food, this episode is a must-listen.Lets work together bestie, check out how here: ⁠https://linktr.ee/bingefreebestie⁠
