This is simple and delicious plus has a great texture for new and old post ops alike. Nothing like a scoop of Old Bay flavored shrimp salad on top of some arugula or avocado slices. Good high protein eats!

The key to this lifestyle is to keep it simple. Kick the processed foods to the curb. Most nights, we eat grilled meat or fish AND A SALAD. Occasionally I add some beans or a piece of Summer corn. You wont see rice, macaroni, spaghetti, potatoes, or bread on my plates. Take the skirt steak […]

FIRST… run, don’t walk, to Trader Joe’s and buy 6 bottles of ‘Everything But the Bagel’ Seasoning. I was a huge Everything Bagel fan in a previous life. So when I started playing around with the idea of making a nice soft bun with cauliflower, it popped into my head to sprinkle the tops with […]

An authentic Italian sub has a unique combination of flavors that you can layer on a giant leaf of crisp romaine lettuce and it’s almost as good as the original. I use Boars Head deli meats as they are super delicious, high quality and very lean. You can buy just 2 or 3 slices of […]

Sure it’s an amazing Transformation, but it’s not Magic. Can you handle the truth? Here’s the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  Betcha Can’t Eat Just One I am horrified by some of the stories new post ops tell of eating foods that I wouldn’t have dreamed of eating when I first […]

Yes, it does taste like a cheeseburger and is even better the next day when you microwave a wedge for lunch!  I paint the plate with ketchup and mustard and serve with Wickles Spicy Pickle Chips, or even lettuce and tomato, just the way I like my burgers. It is intentionally left rather ‘unseasoned’ except for […]

“What medications can I take for pain if I have had bariatric surgery?” The short answer? TYLENOL. TYLENOL. TYLENOL. Take Tylenol for pain. Its effects are no longer minimal when you are 165 pounds instead of 380 pounds. Try two Tylenol as it does not risk your pouch. Ulcers are a very very bad problem […]

This is the absolute freshest, most satisfying way to work in some of the fantastic vegetables and herbs you’ll find in the middle of Summer.  A couple of notes about this dish as you can see it does contain corn, which is typically off limits after weight loss surgery. I’ll be honest because it’s not […]
