A bariatric bento box offers a great solution for every foodie who has had bariatric surgery. Unlike a traditional lunch box, the small compartments within a bento box allow for bariatric-friendly portions of healthy food. And as long as you select from 4 food groups for its contents, the bento box will be nutritionally sound […]
My Air Fryer Bariatric Recipe is a remake of a favorite comfort food! Fried chicken was one of my much loved dishes pre-op and I daresay one of the most popular drive-thru and fast food items ordered before weight loss surgery by patients. But many of us quickly abandoned the dish post-op due to the […]
Most of us only have a limited time to cook from scratch so it makes good sense to make it count. This often means that I double up on a recipe, like these delightful Bariatric Egg Bites, on the basis that I can eat or serve one batch now and put the other in the […]
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 […]
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 […]
Love this! #MyBariatricLife #bariatrics #bariatricWho really needs 100 g of protein or more after WLS? 🤔•

I would argue not many but some do. The @ASMBS suggest 60-100 G protein after WLS. Usually the higher end is reserved for men that are taller in stature or women that are very active and tall. •

If someone needs around 100 g of protein, it’s challenging (if not impossible) to do it with real food. Typically at least one protein drink is needed. •

What you see in the picture is 👇🏼•
•
Breakfast: Greek yogurt with 1/2 c frozen blueberries•
•
Snack #1: Protein Drink•
•
Lunch: 1/2 Tuna salad (about 1 can), 1/3 cup carrots and 1/2 an apple.•
•
Snack #2: Protein Drink•
•
Dinner: Bone-in chicken thigh with 1/3 cup broccoli and 1/4 cup sweet potato.•
•
I am curious.... what protein goal did you receive from your surgery center? 🤔•
