Ep39 Angela Poll: Self-Care is Non-Negotiable

Welcome Home to BariDiaries, Angela Poll joins CeCe for an honest conversation about choosing bariatric surgery, and learning that the surgery itself is only part of the journey. After finding a Center of Excellence close to home, Angela made the decision to choose herself. What followed was the ongoing work of navigating food allergies, overeating, body changes, and rebuilding trust in herself along the way. Angela opens up about comparison, confidence, and why self-care became non-negotiable. Her story is a reminder that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish, and that healing doesn’t require you to move at anyone else’s pace. Whether you’re preparing for surgery, rebuilding after it, or learning how to put yourself back on your own list, there is room for you to grow one day at a time.
