Eating plans people! Get your mind outta the gutter! So a few weeks back you might remember I posted what I eat in a day. That post inspired a good number of comments and e-mails, many of the “OMG, I’m not the only one who eats!” variety. But it also got me to thinking. After weight loss surgery, we …

Olive Garden. When you’re here, your family, right? Well…if your family consists of robust eaters and is headed by a mother who CONSTANTLY thinks you’re too thin (despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary) and therefore insists on plying you with pasta, butter, olive oil and breadsticks…yes…that is very, very true. For the rest of us, we kinda feel like that …

It almost feels like I shouldn’t have anything to report in this round up. I was sick all week so I barely cooked which means I barely had anything to show you guys. Still, I did manage to get some good info out there and, luckily, next week is a new week with new possibilities! So let’s review. Monday I …

…which would you like to hear first? 🙂 Good news: There will be FOOD on Bariatric Foodie today! It’s so weird. The other day I conked out for a long nap, woke up and…the cold was gone! I was suspicious so I still took it easy yesterday but yup…it’s gone. YAY! Look for that later today. Good news: You may …

I don’t know what happened this week, but BF has had more daily page views than it ever has! I don’t know if that’s because you guys are spreading the word or what…but whatever it is you are doing – keep doing it! So this week was all about REALLY crave-worthy food. Let’s review Monday:  We kicked things off …

I get this question a lot from post-ops and I always debate how to answer it. Post-op group psychology is a funny thing. I’ve yet to meet a single post-op who admits to being able to eat a decent amount of food who portrays that as a good thing. I had severe restriction at first and then went through the …

Happy Spring everyone! Last week set our clocks an hour ahead and today is the spring equinox. I’m so excited! I’m definitely a summer girl and I come alive in warm weather. What’s your favorite season? This week was a good week over here in the “messy kitchen” (I name everything, by the way. My kids are the divas, you guys …

I honestly cannot believe I’ve never done this Top 5 before. I went searching for it, for another post and…nothing. Nada. Zip. People ask me all the time what protein powders I use and like. I’ve tried a LOT of them. Thankfully, this didn’t impact my budget much, mostly a good deal of what I’ve tried YOU guys sent to …

I know I announced about a cabillion years ago that I was updating the protein shake recipe book. Life is a trip. Besides the fact that I’m flying solo here on the blog, I don’t know if you all know I’m a single mom with the world’s MOST dysfunctional family. So…I get in writing/editing/revising where I can fit it in. …

Often when I post a recipe, I get a message or two from people asking where to buy certain ingredients or lamenting about having to order something in order to make one of my recipes. I just want to let you know I hear you! You might notice that these days I am giving more and more local suggestions to replace …
