Share Your Father-Friendly Recipes!



Recommended Posts

With Father’s Day coming up next Sunday, I’ve been thinking about how we’re going to Celebrate, and wondering how all of you celebrate! I’ll probably end up with my kids and parents eating – thankfully – a healthy meal from the grill. I’m sure my dad will cook up some burgers and my mom will serve a nice spread of sides and Desserts, but my parents know I’ll fend for myself when it comes to healthy eating. They won’t mind when I show up with some chicken breast or ground turkey patties and a salad, so that is what I will do.

What are you planning to do for Father’s Day? How will you keep your eating clean? And, do you have any great recipes to share that everyone at the party will love?

We usually grill teriyaki salmon and mixed veggies for Father's Day because they are a favorite of my dad and husband. I'll have Asian cole slaw and salad for add ons, but I usually stick to the grilled foods.

Dessert will be strawberries, watermelon and angel food cake with whipped cream. I'm not a dessert eater, so...

Summer is almost too easy when it comes to a bariatric menu.

I LOVE and have cooked for my dad before - Peppercorn Pre-Seasoned Pork Tenderloin. He is a meat and potato guy though so I will probably make some sort of potato (that I will likely avoid) and then a salad. . (My recent favorite is Tomato, cucumber, green olive and goat cheese but he won't eat that either....) I think for another side I will make cheese stuffed jalapenos (reduced fat blue cheese and 1/3 fat cream cheese makes a great filling which I also love in roasted mushrooms!)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
