Happy Monday Foodies! And thanks to EVERYONE who came out to the 2011 Bariatric Foodie Holiday Food Tasting and who ordered a Holiday Survival Kit. IMPORTANT: All Kit orders have gone out. So far I’ve gotten a few back return to sender because of the addresses and I’m working to get in touch with those folks to get them …

So I’ve been telling you all week, “don’t throw out the carcass…don’t throw out the carcass!!!” And you thought I forgot about it, didn’t you? I didn’t! And the waiting was intentional. Because the week after Thanksgiving there is a time honored tradition that happens in American refrigerators that goes a little something like this: Yeah…except that we now now …

Today, instead of food, I thought I would share some stuff I’ve picked up over my nearly four years as a post-op bariatric patient.

This could be YOURS! Read on to find out how.  Man…this has been the most fun product review EVER! I’m sort of tentative about reviews. I know what I like and what I don’t like (most of the time) so trying something new can be a bit stressful. But this one has been an absolute pleasure! For my last …

 Recap for those just joining in: I got me some Quest bars to review! I’m doing two at a time (there are six bars total) and at the end of the reviews Quest is going to give one of YOU a free box! But you need to read the reviews to do well in the contest so…read the reviews. …

It seems Bariatric Foodie has entered a new era, an exciting era! Companies that make products that can benefit us WLS-folk are starting to contact me, asking if I’d like to try their products for review! Excuse me for being a bit tickled by this. You have to understand where I am coming from on this. I started this blog …

In general, I’m not big on gadgetry. I have this (false) sense that there is value in mixing, mashing and pureeing things by hand. I even know how to julienne veggies by hand (thanks mom!). But I do own a good bit of gadgetry. Why? Several reasons: Some of it makes it easier for me to say yes when the …

Hey folks! I am reporting to you right now from the heart of enemy…er Steeler’s territory. Why? I’m here to start the production process for the Bariatric Foodie Holiday Survival Kits.
