Bariatric surgery can be a transformative step towards a healthier life. However, it demands a commitment to bariatric nutrition and vitamins before and after surgery. Building your collection of healthy bariatric recipes can ensure long-term success on your weight loss journey. Dr. Joe Greene is excited to share healthy recipes for bariatric patients to thrive post-surgery and share their success in diet and nutrition.
With the crisp air and holidays upon us, it is hard to not think about pie. Pumpkin pie is a classic staple at many holiday tables. However, traditional pies are heavy with sugars and carbohydrates, and not friendly to a bariatric diet. We found a healthy twist on traditional pumpkin pie to help you enjoy the holidays with comfort and confidence this year. Try this “No Pie Pumpkin Pie” to share healthy recipes for bariatric patients this year.
