Day 6 -Dinner My Grandaughter Hailey made her Secret Chicken. The secret is in the sauce, so good like some kind of chili spicy sauce. Sometimes she cooks the chicken different ways. Today she made Shredded chicken in the crock pot. The rest of the family made Burritos with it . I ate just the chicken and it was delicious this way. #yummy #goodfood #vsgfoods #rnyfood #bariatrics #rny #bariatricsurgery #carnivorediet #carnivorefood #lowcarb
Day 6 I ordered 2 quarter pounders without the buns from Mc Donald's they were so good. Side note I haven't been to Mc Donald's in over 20 some years, but I would definitely order this again .

You’re gonna wanna come back to this 🔥 (in other words: hit SAVE so you’ll always have these ideas close by). Having a snack is one of those topics that people tend to make more complicated than it needs to be. It can be simple. So let’s break it down quickly 👇 🧀 Snacks are not bad. 🧀 Snacking isn’t the same as “grazing”. 🧀 You might not have enough appetite to have a snack. 🧀 You might need more snacks because your appetite increased. 🧀 Snacks high in protein/fiber will keep your pouch pleasantly satisfied + add on to your daily protein targets! 🙋♀️ Are snacks part of your routine? ⬇️ • • • “Eating after bariatric surgery” by @your.onederland #wlssnacks #bariatricsnacks #wlspostop #wlseating #bariatricnutrition #wlseating #vsgeats #bariatricsurgerysupport #bariatricsurgerycommunity #wlspostop #vsgjourney #gastricsleevecommunity #gastricbypassfamily #wlsfood #wlsfoodie #vsgfood #vsgfoodie #vsgfoods #wlscommunityvsg #vsgmeals #gastricsleevesurgery #gastricsleevefood #wlslife

If you struggling to get enough protein at breakfast, I would offer several strategies to help you meet the protein goals: 🩷include protein-rich foods in your breakfast meal. This could include options such as eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu, lean meats like turkey or chicken sausage, and protein powder added to smoothies or oatmeal. 🩷aim for a balanced breakfast that includes a combination of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels and provide sustained energy throughout the morning. For example, pairing Greek yogurt with berries and a handful of nuts or adding avocado to a veggie omelet can boost both protein and healthy fat intake. 🩷prepare breakfast items in advance to make mornings easier and ensure protein-rich options are readily available. This could involve meal prepping egg muffins, overnight oats with protein powder, or yogurt parfaits layered with nuts and seeds. 🩷high-quality protein supplements that are low in added sugars and provide a complete amino acid profile.
Love a baby quesadilla from Taco Bell. Perfect Bari portion. Hope everyone is having a wonderful guilt free holiday weekend. #vsg #vsgfoods #bariatric #bariatricfood #wls #wlsfood #gastricsleeve #gastricsleevefood

It’s inevitable to have some regain when you revert back to some of your old habits. After 2 1/2 years this isn’t where I thought I’d be, but I take ownership for the decisions I made that got me here. The first steps to losing again is recognizing where you went wrong and changing your mindset to focus on healthier, realistic life goals. For me success has always looked better when I keep track of my goals. That includes my water, protein, and exercise. When I can see on paper where I’m at throughout the day, I have a better outcome than when I’m just winging it. Todays lunch was packed with protein for RealGoods chicken nuggets 4 is 23 gms of protein and Edamame 5 gms to give a salad some extra crunch.

Love these little #bentobox they are perfect for what I need. I have to have food in my stomach when I take my vitamins. I have to take lots of vitamins . So I just take my time with my snacks and vitamins. It is a economic way to have small portion snacks.

Say it with me: THERE ISN'T ONLY ONE WAY TO EAT HEALTHY. 🎉 As a Bariatric patient, you know eating fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins is important. But if you’re someone who typically struggles with eating vegetables and now you’re eating them daily, that’s huge! If you’re someone who struggles with mindless munching and you’ve replaced the potato chips with yogurt, that’s also amazing. If you typically eat carb-heavy meals and now you’re making sure to get your protein first, you go girl! 🎉 Eating produce doesn’t have to be fresh. As a Bariatric patient, it can be challenging to get through all of that fresh produce before it goes bad! Frozen and even canned are just fine. Your yogurt doesn’t have to be plain. Sure it’s important to be conscious of the sugar content but you can eat flavored yogurt! You don’t have to buy everything organic. My goal isn't to make you perfect, it's to make you better than you were before. 💗 If you want to learn more about how I support my clients after bariatric surgery, comment "Academy" below and I'll send you more details! #wls #wlsfood #wlseats #wlsdiet #rny #rnyfood #rnyfamily #rnyfam #rnyeats #vsgdiet #vsgfood #vsgfam #vsgfoods #vsgfoodie #bariatricfood #bariatriceating #bariatriceats #bariatricdiet #bariatricmeals #vsgsnacks #bariatricbabe #gastricsleeve #gastricbypass #sleevegastrectomy #gastricsleeve #gastricbypasssurgery
Sometimes, simple is best. Simple was my word this past week for meals. We had chicken and veggies. Speaking of veggies, I’m still trying to increase the amount of veggies I eat. Since I prioritize protein finding the room for veggies is sometimes challenging (depending on the level of restriction that day) What’s your favorite veggie? Mine is 🥦 broccoli 🥦 for a minute post op I thought that broccoli was not gonna love me anymore because very early post op I had some cream of broccoli soup and it f*ckkkkkkkked me up. Like I had the worst bloating and gas I had ever experienced in my life, for three days, and I took gas-x But luckily for me, the next broccoli attempt went much better…full transparency: I did wait like 3 more months to try it. 👋 Do you have a favorite veggie or a story about how a food did you wrong? 👇 . . . . . . . . #simpledinner #chickendinner #chickenandveggies #lowcarbdinner #wlsfood #wlsfoodie #wlsfoods #vsgdinner #vsgfood #vsgfoodie #vsgfoods #weightlosssurgerycommunity #cookinwithniecyandphillip
Had a bad week with food this week, been sickie & acidy a bit but felt hungry today, so tried this out: Low carb high protein small wrap ✔️. Sqished some seasoned mince beef on the wrap✔️ Cook in pan with spray olive oil ✔️ Chuck on some salad stuff, cheese & fave sauces ✔️. Voila…… a burger style taco thingy that tastes real good, higher protein, less carbs & easier to eat/digest than a big burger 🖤 As expected, didn’t eat it all of course, 7th/8th week post op. . . . . . . . #vsgaustralia #vsgaustraliansleevers #bariatricfood #vsgfoods #vsgjourney

Let's talk about protein! When your dietitian tells you to hit your protein goal, we don’t JUST mean hit your protein goal... Let me explain! Not all proteins are created equal. We want you to focus on protein for a variety of reasons, and one of the major reasons is to help keep you full for longer! So the quality of your protein source matters. A protein cookie, as pictured here, isn’t an excuse to always eat a bunch of cookies because “it has protein.” It’s not the same! Protein coming from actual protein-dense food sources is going to keep you so much more satisfied and full for longer than what I refer to as a protein product! I encourage you to focus on the quality of that food and not just hit your numbers and call it a day. If you’re struggling to meet your protein needs, what foods to be eat, and need some extra support, I am enrolling for my signature coaching program!

At nearly 9 months post VSG, sometimes dinner looks like this. A couple ounces of teriyaki chicken, a bit of cabbage and a lumpia. How things have changed: before surgery I would’ve cleaned an entire large order of this (including the pasta and rice sides) and several lumpia, easily. Did I eat all of the food shown in the pic? Well, that’s between me and Sleevette. Do I feel bad for having takeout and eating higher carbs than normal? Not one bit. . . . . . . . #wlsfood #wlsfoodie #wlsfooddiary #wlseats #vsgfood #vsgfoodie #vsgfoods #vsgeats #vsgdinner #wlsdinner

Struggling to get your protein in after bariatric surgery? Save this post for a high-protein breakfast idea! 🎉 One tip I give my clients who are struggling with meeting their protein goals is to take your protein goal and break it down meal by meal. Typically, an excellent goal to aim for long-term is 20-30g at meals. Many of my clients aim for 15-20g to start! Another tip is to include higher protein foods that you can sneak into other foods like hemp seeds, chia seeds, and nuts/nut butter. If you're looking for more food and snack ideas, workout ideas, meal plans, and more - check out my coaching program, Balanced Bariatric Nutrition Academy.

I love this meal for after I get back from the gym because I'm usually starving. #gymlife #gymrat #gym #healthylifestyle #healthy #healthyfood #vsgfoods #verticalsleevegastrectomy #verticalsleeve #gastricsleevejourney #momlife
Some of my recent home eats 🌮🥙🍝 1. Threw together some ground beef, a little pasta, zucchini, and tomato sauce. 2. Hubby and I tried a recipe for queso poblano tacos but added chicken for some protein, so good! And the homemade salsa 🤌🤌 3. @pillsbury pizza dough with chicken breast, Swiss cheese, and ham slices. All wrapped up and baked to perfection. . . . . . #food #foodie #foodstagram #highprotein #highproteinmeals #highproteinlowcarb #highproteinrecipes #highproteinideas #highproteinfood #vsgfood #vsgfoodie #vsgfoods #vsghighprotein #vsgfooddiary #vsgmeals #vsgmealprep #vsgrecipes #vsgrecipe #wlsfood #wlsfooddiary #wlsfoodideas #vsgfoodideas
Okay….what’s up with probiotics after bariatric surgery? Probiotics are live micro organisms found naturally in the foods in this list. (this is your cue to hit SAVE so you’ll never forget!). Live micro organisms, we hear you thinking….why is THAT important after bariatric surgery? 🤔 Well, it all boils down to better gut health. You see, bariatric surgery can change the composition of the bacteria that live in your gut. Some bacteria are helpful, while others are not. And you guessed it - probiotics are part of # Team Helpful Bacteria 🥳 Probiotics can help to restore gut balance and there is some evidence that it can alleviate gastro-intestinal issues too. So, do you need more probiotics after bariatric surgery? Some surgeons will say “yes”, while others don’t specifically recommend using probiotics. 🥼Always consult your surgeon what’s right for you. Creating awareness is what we do. And now you know about the 15 most common probiotics found naturally in food sources you may enjoy eating post-op. 🙋♀️ Which one of these 15 is new to you?

PSA - you can enjoy Halloween candy AND sustain your weight loss goals post-bariatric surgery. 🍭🍬 Long-term, It's all about balance! 🎉 Now of course there is a time and a place for this! If you are NEWLY post-op, than it's like Halloween candy is not in your plan at the moment. But that doesn't mean you will NEVER be able to enjoy it! Of course, it's important to adhere to your post-op surgical diet plan and not incorporate any foods until cleared by your surgery team. If you are someone who struggles with high sugar/high fat items, then it is also best to avoid the typical Halloween candy. If you're looking for more support navigating your life post-bariatric surgery and would like more guidance and support, I’d love to invite you to apply for my coaching program!

🔥 You’re gonna wanna come back to this! Keeping down a piece of chicken breast is a legit chore after bariatric surgery. Protein is dense and it takes longer to digest compared to a crunchy cracker. Having a smaller stomach and/or a *rewired* digestive system changes EVERYTHING >> 🥩 Maybe you can’t tolerate (red) meat any longer 🥤 Or perhaps those countless protein shakes make you shiver with nausea 🤢 😮💨 Or it could be the plain & simple fact that you’re just TOO FULL to eat your protein We get it. ^BUT ☝️ Having options after bariatric surgery isn’t just great for variety… It’s downright a NECESSITY to hit your protein targets! 📌 So, save this list - and come back to it for more inspiration next time that chicken breast sits like a brick of dry clay in your tummy… __________ PS.

It doesn’t look like much, but this chocolate, peanut butter oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfast meals when I have time to do it. It’s a serving of old fashioned oats, a cup of fairlife skim milk, a serving of peanut butter, and a packet of @devotionnutrition brownie batter protein powder. Macros are 500 calories, 29g carbs, 45g protein, and 16g fats. Yes it’s a lot, but I’ll only be able to eat about half of the bowl and it’s rare that I take the time to make these. #whatieat #vsgeats #vsgfoods #vsgcommunity #vsg #wls #wlscommunity #wlseats
It's that kind of day! 😫 . But even with this kind of binge, I'm reminded that this will take me way more than the 5 mins to demolish this like it would've done 3 years ago, and it's still a lot less than I would have demolished too! . . #comfortfood #eatingafterwls #weightlosssurgery #vsgfoods #vsgweightloss #11stonedown #11stoneloss #wlsfood #weightlossjourney #weightlossbeforeandafter #vsgproblems #vsgfamily #vsgfamily #foodaddict #foodaddiction #wlsjourney #wlssupport #wlspostop #wlsfoodie #wlslife #vsgsisters #vsgpostop #bariatricproblems #bariatricsurgery #gastricsleevesupport #gastricsleeveuk #gastricsleevesurgery #gastricsleevelife #gastricsleevecommunity #wlscommunity #oneofthemdays
