You back? Good! New post-ops. Do you know how spoiled you are? Lemme tell you what life was like when I was a new post-op. There three…maybe four…protein companies …

Olive Garden and I have a very fragile relationship. But I do have to admit, it’s been getting better. There used to be zero dishes I could order straight off the menu (keep in mind I’m nine years post-op folks). Nowadays there are a few, or at least enough that I now have an Olive Garden Eating Guide available. But …

At the risk of sounding like a hater…when we start to eat healthfully we get some really screwed up notions about eating. And I get it. The things we have to tell ourselves to get by and yadda. Usually I don’t make much of some of the beliefs I hear expressed. But, frankly, some of them are biting us in …

(Two disclaimers: First…this review is hella long but WORTH IT! Especially if you don’t currently see a bariatric dietitian and need help getting your eating back on track. But let’s keep it real…you might need to read it in chunks. But do read it! Second, this review was sponsored by Good Measures, however, as always, all opinions are my own …

I’m going to make a confession. Working with a dietitian, historically, has not been one of my favorite parts of the bariatric journey. I’m a rebel, Foodies!

It happens to the best of us, Foodies. Even me. You get drawn into a recipe online, especially one of those really neat recipe videos, and you decide, “I’m gonna make that!” So you gather up all your little ingredients. You set aside time to make this glorious creation. You put your whole heart into the endeavor, summoning every ounce …

So life recently popped another one of my little “delusion bubbles.” You see…up until last year I’d never lived in a house with central air conditioning (true fact), so I had this delusion that if you live in such a wonderful, mythical place, you can turn on your oven in the middle of the summer time and bake with reckless …

So…I can be accused of many things in life, Foodies. One of them is not being totally aware of awesome things right in front of me. Bariatric Pal is one of those things. Have you heard of it? If I had to describe the site, I’d say it is part community, part informational resource, and part commerce. It’s sorta like what …
