Let's face it. Life after weight-loss surgery can be hard.

There are new habits to learn (like not eating and drinking together), protein goals to make (even though three bites of anything leaves you feeling stuffed), water to drink, exercise to get, vitamin regimens to follow. It can be overwhelming!

I'm here to help. Hi, I'm Nikki Massie. Gastric Bypass patient (1/8/08), mother, writer and author of Bariatric Foodie, where I help post-ops learn to play with their food!

So what does that even mean. Right?

More than you think. You see Bariatric Foodie started because of one simple fact. I went into weight loss surgery in the WORST possible way a person can. I didn't research. I didn't plan. I just did it. As you can imagine, I made many, many, many mistakes! But there's a silver lining. Because I made these mistakes, I can show you how to not make those same mistakes - and I do that everyday on Bariatric Foodie.

My books are designed to make your life as a post-op easier. Sure, there are delicious, low-carb, protein-packed recipes but there's also guidance for you. Because at the end of the day what you like and what I like might differ. I want you to know how food works so you can make it work in your plan! That's part of playing with your food.

But that's not all. Playing with your food is also learning how to take the foods you love to eat and make them healthier. I show you how to do that. In The Bariatric Guide to Perfect Protein Shakes, for example, I show you how to make shakes that taste like your favorite candy and ones that taste like your favorite coffeehouse drinks. In The Bariatric Foodie Holiday Survival Guide, I have lower-carb/higher-protein swaps for favorites like baked mac 'n cheese and mashed potatoes. The Bariatric Foodie Breakfast Book offers delicious dishes such as protein pancakes (yes, pancakes!), muffins, omelets and more!

So check out my titles. There are more on the way! As I try new foods and learn new recipes, I am excited to bring you even more information that will help you make the most out of your bariatric surgery and change your life for the better - for good.

So c'mon! Take a chance. Play with your food!

I'm a 2001 weight loss surgery post-op. I'm always looking for healthy recipes that are delicious and satisfying. I also value good, solid information and motivation. Nikki of Bariatric Foodie provides all of this on her blog and in this book. I've already tried multiple recipes in this book and each one is fantastic. I have a very picky son as to what he likes. To me, the true test is that he has liked every single one that I've made! Whether you've had weight loss surgery or looking for healthy, fabulous recipes, buy this book! You'll be glad you have it!

This book may seem simple, but it has great advice and insight. Good reminders heading into the Holiday foodfest season. I have to say some of the recipes look incredible, and very doable, I can't wait to try them.

UPDATE 4 Dec 13: After struggling a lot over Thanksgiving (with leftovers...sigh) I picked up this book again and read thru it more completely. It was a big help! And there ARE some new recipies and updated ones too, I hadn't realized. So, I AM recommending the book!

LOVE Nikki's blog, but this book is not worth it. IF you really have no idea how to face the holidays after bariatric surgery then it would be helpful. But if, like me, your doc has a fantastic support group that prepares us all, and we turn to each other as well, then it's a waste of money. All the receipes are already on her blog.

Concise and informative regarding handling ourselves around friends and family's during the holidays. Loved the recipe suggestions, substitutions, and substitute sugar conversions. The info regarding where to purchase retain items I was not familiar with was invaluable. Only wish they could have included what a portion size is, although we probably already know what that is. I just find it helpful to keep on track to know exactly what a portion size is for gastric bypass.. Will be recommending this in my Support group.

I just had my bariatric surgery 2 -1/2 months ago and looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family has been worrisome until I got Nik's book. Great job, great recipes and lots of helpful hints.
