~~posted by Jen In the spirit of the New Year and making improvements, Bariatric Foodie is getting a makeover! Nik and I have decided to continue our house-keeping efforts we started a few months ago. One of our goals for the blog in 2011 is to re-organize the way our recipes are tagged and make them easier to find what …

~~by Nikki and Jen Your faithful Divas would like to thank you for making this the best year EVER for Pouch Party™  and Bariatric Foodie™! We broke 1,000 fans on Facebook, tripled our presence on Twitter, partied with support groups, and held our first large regional event. We blogged like crazy and posted more recipes, Top 5 Lists, survival guides, peeks, …

I don’t even know where to begin counting my blessings, they are so abundant. I am thankful for reasonably good health, this has been a challenging year but I think everything is finally figured out and under control. At least it seems that way for the time being. I’m looking forward to going back to work in December and thankful …

Usually, I’m not into compilation lists of thankfulness. Mostly because I try to give thanks every day. But Thanksgiving is an opportunity to reflect on the bigger picture and I am learning to embrace that (or just get over myself). I thought I’d share with you just a few things I am thankful for this year. And this is me…so …

~by Nikki Well Turkey Day is just a week away and we know that some of you are freaking out a little bit, especially if you are a new post-op. Thanksgiving is a holiday for counting our blessings, enjoying our family…and sharing an outrageously large and over-caloric meal. It’s the American way and no amount of self-help talk can get …

If you can’t get to Baltimore, make sure to order your “Portable Preview” and get all the recipes, the shake samples and the …

~~posted by Jen So we promised lots of cool new things once we reached 1000 Facebook fans, and now we’re well on our way to the 2000 fan mark! If you haven’t already liked our page, please go do so! That way you won’t miss out on any of our announcements, special contests, or polls we do only on Facebook. …

Don’t worry…it’s not one of those “Armageddon/’Goodbye, cruel world!” types of things. But it is pretty important so we thought we should make an announcement. We’re really excited about our upcoming Pouch Party™ 2010 Holiday Preview. And you’ve told us that you are pretty jazzed about it too. We are expecting a good crowd, but many of you who have …

We promised that if we got 1,000 Facebook fans, we were going to go BANANAS, crazy, loco…(you get the point). Well, we put out the challenge and you met it! It’s going to be a week of surprises for you, faithful Pouchers, and here is the first one. You might recall us saying that we’re taking our show on the …

So you land here on Bariatric Foodie and you see a recipe you think is AWESOME! One problem – there’s no nutrition information. You scroll up the post, down the post, up the post again. Nope. You haven’t missed it. Where is it??? Dear Foodies, you are not missing it. It is not there. And, yes, there are reasons! Here …
