 New Newbies. Baby post-ops. Whatever you wish to call yourselves. Bariatric Foodie has not forgotten about you! It’s dessert week and we know a lot of you are stuck on liquid diets! It’s the pits, yes, but remember that this, too, shall pass. And when you are trim and fit and totally hot…what will a few weeks on liquids …

This and many more holiday recipe ideas are available in The Bariatric Foodie Holiday Survival Guide on Amazon. Apple. Crumble. Yes. Let’s just take a quick moment to revel in our memories of apple crumbles. If you don’t have a memory I’ll lend mine. Picture it. Suburban Maryland. The 1980’s.

My camera is still MIA, it’s somewhere here in the remodelling mania. Hopefully I will find it since …

~~posted by Jen Courtney’s Beefy Cabbage & Quinoa Soup.

Well, if you’ve read this blog for a while, and have seen my forays with Thai Chicken and Banana Bon-Bons, you know that I have a certain affection for food on a stick. Well I’d been thinking lately that I need to add to my collection of stick food offerings on the blog …

~by Nikki Just when you thought we’d run out of decadent ways for you to get your protein, here we come again with a brand new shake! I have to admit this one took me by surprise. When I first thought it up, I figured I’d have to tweak it here and there to get it where I wanted it. …
