This podcast is a space for the highs and lows of the weight loss journey. Because here’s the truth: bariatric surgery is a tool — not a magic fix. It’s still work. It’s still

Daily Dump, Day 14: Sunshine, Shot Day, and 85g Protein

Life in the Bari Lane ·

2025/11/15

Hey Bari Besties! 💜Indiana said “it’s mid-November, who?” — ~70–72°F and sunny, which made pool-closing whiplash extra real. Today was GLP-1 shot day: I took my final 7.5 mg Mounjaro dose; 10 mg starts next Friday. Big nutrition win: 85g protein, mostly from food (only one 30g shake!). Breakfast was a high-protein yogurt (texture saga: Chobani = paste vibes; Oikos Pro still the MVP). Dinner with my bestie at Texas Roadhouse: chose salmon over steak (LDL says thanks), plus green beans and a

Life in the Bari Lane ·

2025/11/14

Hey Bari Besties! 💜Started with Miracle Morning (still finishing the long “reading” pod), then a double-header clinic day: my bariatric check went well—one more week at 7.5 mg Mounjaro, then bumping to 10 mg. Dietitian homework: more real food, fewer shakes (max two daily, a third only on shot day). Also: my LDL was 112 (goal <100), so I’m troubleshooting protein sources beyond red meat.Mom’s appointment: ✅ and she’s getting a new CPAP, hopefully better sleep = better days. Cafeteria “tandoori”

Hey Bari Besties 💜Today was… a lot. After oversleeping, Sacha speed-runs her morning and lands at the doctor just in time — only to get stuck in a lab-results loop until the A1C finally comes through: 4.8. Cue relief.
