Whether the up-coming Thanksgiving celebration and holiday season is your first post-surgery, or you’ve been here before, you will be wary of the Main Event meal. No one seems to get into a stress about the turkey or other chosen centerpieces but the sides do cause some anxiety. So let’s address those bariatric-friendly sides straight […]
Back in 2003 before going under the knife for my gastric bypass, I believed obesity surgery was supposed to fix the flaws which make it tough for me to look in the mirror. Losing weight, whether organically or surgically, is after all an excellent way to boost our confidence and feel like an attractive person […]
You may wonder why I am writing a product review of GhostBed luxury sheets on MyBariatricLife. Well, the reason is this: I firmly believe it is important that we satisfy our senses in ways other than with food after weight loss surgery. Just like we learn to switch out food-related activities with something new and […]
The Autumn/Fall calls for warmer foods – something a bit more satisfying and comforting than perhaps a salad. Cue – bariatric-friendly Chili. I am hard pushed to think of a recipe dish that suits meat-eating, vegetarian and vegan bariatric patients alike. Plus it’s seasonal, economical, packed with great nutrition, bariatric-friendly and easy to make. Using […]
I am infatuated with Starbucks coffee beverages despite the high price tag and it not being organic. My favorite is a custom-blend sugar-free Chocolate Hazelnut Frappe with a shot of espresso. LOL, now you know a selection on the Starbucks Secret Menu. But I’ll let you in on an even bigger secret. I have a Starbucks […]

The first time I attempted to make cauliflower pizza it was an utter failure. It tasted mushy and nothing like pizza. Since I am someone who likes to enjoy the food I am eating I said “sayonara” to cauliflower pizza. It just wasn’t for me. But then more and more people kept telling me how […]
What do you think of when you read the word “juice?” Probably an image of orange juice comes to mind, or perhaps apple juice. And surely as a bariatric surgery patient, you’ve been told to not drink orange and apple juices. But did anyone tell you that you can drink green juice? In fact, I […]

I caught up with several dear friends who are success stories with bariatric surgery / plastic surgery. They did it all — dropped the excess weight and kept it off; transformed their bodies through bariatric plastic surgery; and went on to make their dreams come true with new homes and new careers. These are beautiful […]
Cauliflower rice can be a lifesaver for weight loss surgery patients. It is low in carbohydrates, high in nutrition and best of all it tastes good. If you’ve had bariatric surgery your program may recommend refraining from rice for up to six months after surgery. Rice has a tendency to expand in the stomach and […]
Mom used to make potato pancakes when I was little. Wow, do I ever miss her sweet singing as she would hand grate the potatoes then fry them up in big batches. Mom always expressed her love for her family, and there was lots of love expressed through her cooking. I remember sometimes all we […]
I’m sure many of you have been in this situation before: You’re looking at yourself in the mirror, you’re checking the scale, and it shows you’ve gained weight. You’re not sure how this weight gain happened, but you want to put a stop to it right now and start a weight loss journey that gives […]
So in a blast of inspiration tonight I developed a healthy dessert recipe with some organic blueberries we picked at a local farm yesterday and the rhubarb I harvested earlier from my organic garden. And what I came up with is soooooo good! It’s a Blueberry Rhubarb Cobbler that’s almost Paleo, and free of refined […]
