    Welcome @jenniepriebe! You've come to the right place for tips & support! I had the sleeve done in August 2016. Feel free to ask me anything!

    Welcome! I had gastric bypass 4/18/16. I’ll add you as well. Someone had a post recently about a stall. I included a few websites that were really helpful, so check that out. Otherwise I have to remember to send it after I am done working :)

    @jenniepriebe sorry for the delay:

    Here are some good resources I have found for products, recipes and just good blog posts:

    Bariatric Eating
    The World According to Eggface
    Bariatric Foodie
    Celebrate Vitamins
    Eat the Bear (love their protein powder)
    Chike (love their coffee based protein powders)
    Chocorite - great protein powders and sugar feee chocolates
    Lilly’s Chocolate - tasty sugar free options
    Lakanto - monk fruit based sweetener and products
    Skinnytaste
    Emily Bites
    Weight Watchers
    Once Upon A Chef
    Mels Kitchen Cafe
    Peas and Crayons
    Oh She Glows
    Damn Delicious (love the protein waffle recipe. Doesn’t use protein powder just cottage cheese and eggs for protein sources)
    Syntrax Nectar (they will send you a samplin if all of their offerings for $15 - one time only)
    Thin Slim Foods
    Also - I recently tried Ezekiel bread which is flour free and very good

    Some of these sites aren’t specific to Bariatric surgery patients but have good resources and recipes. Some recipes can be modified as well.
