Athena's Weight Loss Journey: From Gastric Band to Gastric Sleeve
Episode 33: In this episode of the Former Fat Friend podcast, host Kasey sits down with the inspiring Athena Lamire, who shares her compelling journey through weight loss and bariatric surgery. After undergoing gastric band surgery at the age of 28 and losing over 175 pounds, Athena faced significant challenges when complications led to the removal of her band in 2023. She then transitioned to gastric sleeve surgery, continuing her pursuit of understanding the root causes of her weight gain.
Athena opens up about her early experiences with weight, including the influence of her dietitian mother and her struggles with self-image. As she reflects on her long-term relationship with obesity, she discusses the mental and emotional aspects of her journey, including the freedom she found with the gastric band and the challenges she faced after its removal.
Throughout the conversation, Athena emphasizes the importance of nourishing foods and understanding how to prepare them for optimal health. She shares her commitment to aging well and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, focusing on micronutrients and the impact they have on her overall well-being.
Join us for this enlightening discussion that highlights the complexities of weight management, the significance of mental health, and the ongoing journey of self-discovery and acceptance. Athena's story serves as a powerful reminder that success in weight loss is not solely defined by numbers but by how we feel and function in our daily lives.
