Post-Op Eating
Delicious light recipes allow us to celebrate Summer and stay on our bariatric plan! Our original WLS friendly salads have ample protein for a Main Course, and some are sides for grilled meat or fish. Our sugar free desserts truly satisfy a sweet tooth. We don’t live on a bariatric diet - we eat incredible food and get high on post-op LIFE!

Accountability is key – keeping a Food Journal allows us to identify poor eating patterns in order to make permanent lifestyle changes we can live with. Bariatric Food Journal
Do you know what to eat during your Liquid, Puree, and Soft Food phases? We have Bariatric Meal plans & Menus for easy breakfasts, lunches, and suppers. Post-op

Protein is not a punishment if you know what brands to use and how to blend them.

After bariatric surgery, we are prone to Vitamin Deficiencies due to poor eating habits, restricted food volumes, and simply by virtue that we have had a bariatric procedure. Avoiding long term health problems is easier than trying to fix them once we have them. Soft or broken bones, IV iron infusions, serious fatigue, permanent nerve damage, and leg cramps are not what we signed on for.
Fortunately, Bariatric Advantage vitamins are created for our specific post op needs. Flintstones vitamins, while tasty and readily available, are created for a 40-pound child, not a 245-pound bariatric patient.
Less than half of all bariatric post-ops bother with any vitamin supplementation at all – don’t be one of the many who underwent surgery to cure their morbid obesity and end up with a different set of health issues.
Get the right vitamins and get serious about taking them every day! We recommend Bariatric Advantage - see how good healthy feels and take control of your life.
