Before we get into the tips I’ve amassed for you, let’s deal with one small thing. I know you all. Somewhere out there is a person – might be a pre-op, might be a new post-op – who is thinking, “But, but, but…you can’t overeat after surgery, right???” Breathe. You breathing? Ok. Let’s talk. While surgery makes it harder to overeat, …

I know I don’t put dates on my posts so I will say that as I write, it is December 4, 2015. Also known as “the 14th anniversary of my 25th birthday.” What’s the first thing (food-wise) that comes to mind when you think of your birthday? Yep…cake. Birthday cake is more than just a food. It’s a cultural institution. …

Obligatory Legal Stuff: This post was sponsored by Syntrax products. The blogger was provided product for the purposes of this review. All opinions expressed are solely those of Bariatric Foodie and its representative.  I’m not even going to insult your intelligence by acting like I’ve never tried this protein before this product review, because that would just be untrue. Spoiler Alert: …

So when I say “Pots de Creme” you may be thinking one of three things: “Nik, you’ve gone bougie!” “What the hell is a ‘Pots de Creme?'” “I am a chef/cook/French/food snob and I do not believe that this can be achieved.” Let’s talk this out. So #1 – yeah, I’ll admit, it’s sort of a bougie thing to say you …

You see meatballs…I see a “Violet Beauregard” moment. (Thank you Lisa on Facebook for correcting my blatant error – I originally attributed this moment to Veruca Salt. Not sure how I got the name mixed up…) If you ever saw Willy Wonka you know Violet as a little girl who won a tour of the famed factory, only to meet her demise …

So you all are probably used to seeing this full-sized version of my WLS-friendly Apple Crumble: But here’s the deal. I’ve heard from a lot of you that you need something a little smaller. Maybe you live by yourself or just one other person. Maybe the rest of your family recoils at sugar-free desserts. Or maybe you just don’t want to have …

I debated whether or not to share my post-op sriracha party. Why? While I’m not afraid of the food police, just like the rest of you I kind of get sick of being food policed. I mean, sure, it comes with the territory of being a food blogger but at a point even I can get testy. But, in the end …

For this product review, Foodies, I rode alone. No LPD, no boyfriend, no random neighbor guy down the street. Just me. And 7 protein bars. This was, of course, out of necessity. LPD has been attacked by some horrid strain of germs and is currently under quarantine. (Hey…it’s for the public good!) Random neighbor guy down the street…well I haven’t …

So after my impassioned (and pictorial) story about conducting AmBari Shake Variety Pack product review, I feel like I set the bar kind of high. I’m sorry to disappoint you but this review process wasn’t nearly as eventful! Also in my “post-op zombie apocalypse survival kit” (also known as AmBari Starter Kit) was a variety of protein snacks. Now I …

I think I’ve mentioned before my kids live with their dad in the summer. This year he lives in Texas. I live in Maryland. So off they went to Texas, the same weekend I flew off to Haiti (sniff…sniff…). What does that have to do with these cobblers? Well. Them being gone means a few things. First, that I have …
