I bought some great bariatric cook books that have meal plans for each phase. They at least help get the creative juices flowing when I’m feeling bored with what I’m eating or drinking:) Two of my favorites are Bariatric Meal Prep made easy by Kristin Willard and the Complete Bariatric Cookbook and Meal Plan by Megan Moore. Also I have found following Bariatric dieticians on social media as well as people in the WLS community often have great ideas! These are just what seems to work for me:) best of luck!

My surgeon said no to coffee while healing due to the acidity that could hinder healing. I’m only in my second week post-op but plan on having coffee as soon as it’s safe to do so! Hope you enjoyed your time with friends and hopefully it went well! adding: I am a black coffee kinda girl:)

I am in the same boat. Tylenol, heat pad and raspberry leaf tea are what I’m doing but not as effective as good ol ibuprofen. Good luck!

I just had mine on the 10th. How is your recovery going?

I am in the pre-op stage (October 10) and am wondering what kitchen equipment or tools people find most helpful in the general diet stage. Do you keep it simple (good ol pots and pans) or do you use an air fryer or instant pot, ect…?

Thank you and Congratulations to you! I’m so glad we have a quality Bariatric clinic here on the Peninsula. I attended one of the online group meetings and plan to attend more. I just scheduled my surgery date yesterday for October 10🙌🏼.

I lived in Indianola for 11 years and just moved to Silverdale this last year! I will be having surgery with Dr. Clive in October. I hope your journey is going well!

Thank you all for the great input!
