So anyone who knows me knows that in the beginning (of my surgical process) I was a certified, card carrying CARBOPHOBE. Yep…I would not go near starches…was offended at the thought of bread or crackers and cookies??? Are you nuts??? Well today I do a fair amount of starchy stuff. Most of it is Frankenfood specially formulated to fill my body …

Raise your hand if you ever crave chocolate. Anybody? Anybody at all? (chirp…chirp…) KIDDING! Any chocolate lover occasionally gets a craving for something chocolatey and when you do, really, what do you reach for? A candy bar? A fudgesicle? Me…I’m not a cold treat kinda gal most of the time and I dump so if I even THINK about candy …

In the beginning there was the protein shake. And it was milk and it was whey and it was NOT GOOD! Then the protein gods said “let there be flavor” and there was flavor…and it was good! By and large WLS has vastly reduced my sweet tooth. Lemme tell you…I useta could put away a whole pack of Oreos by …

St. Paddy’s Day is still a ways away, but I am in the mood to be Irish for a minute. Indulge me. This protein shake reminds me of the Bailey’s Irish Creme ice cream I used to eat when I was a kid. Interestingly enough, I have only had real Irish coffee (made by Irish people no less) once in …

So we at Bariatric Foodie are all about equal opportunity. We believe that post-op WLS patients have the same right to yummy food as everyone else. We also believe we should have our own indulgences. The account that follows is my attempt to fulfill an indulgence of my own. Please take note of a few things before we start on this …

So I wasn’t going to post this recipe. Because I thought it would be kinda cruddy to post a WLS friendly dessert two days after Thanksgiving. But here’s the deal. This got a command encore. So here’s how the whole thing went down. I bring my sugar-free, high-fiber dessert to Thanksgiving dinner. I advertised it as sugar-free which, theoretically, meant …

So I keep hearing about these things called “whoopie pies.” Now some purists might say that this is a food that cannot be WLS friendly. BUT I SAY NAY!!! So I decided to try. But more than that…I decided to take you guys along with me for the ride…whether you wanna go or not! Now I know what you want …

Fall is upon us and everyone seems to have their own variation of a pumpkin pie protein shake. All are worthy in my little opinion and all serve different purposes. Pumpkins are nutritionally a great food containing beta carotene and a whole host of vitamins and minerals. So pumpkin pie protein shakes with pureed pumpkin are a more than worthy …

The video is coming people! Be patient! YIKES! It’s for newbies anyway so…there ya go…”old timers” there’s one coming for you this week too I(and if you LOVE Chinese take-out this will be a MUST WATCH). Ok, so some exciting stuff on the OH front. Our beloved Plump Kitty (aka “PK” originator of the meat crust pizza) has come home …

You know this can’t be my blog without some sort of shout out to peanuts! They are one of my favorite foods. I wish I could eat more of them but justifying the fat is hard y’all. I work as much peanut action into my day as possible though. Folks often ask me how I make peanuts work in my …
