Bariatric Meal Prep
A great page that gives its followers a guide on how to eat following weight loss surgery!
A major struggle many bariatric patients face is having time to cook healthy recipes on a daily basis. Many recipes that consist of healthy foods have considerable preparation times associated with them. For that reason, meal prepping is one of the best ways to save both time and money while on a bariatric diet.
Meal prepping is the process of preparing large quantities of food (usually at the beginning of the week) and storing them in meal-sized amounts. Whenever it is time to eat, simply grab a meal that is already prepared out of the fridge and enjoy!
This page gives great tips and how to meal prep according to the bariatric diet. It also gives details on what to include within each meal to ensure you are reaching all of the macronutrients needed per day.
Follow Bariatric Meal Prep’s page for all of your meal prepping needs!
The Bariatric Trainer
A more exercise oriented page that gives great advice on both workouts and eating!
Keeping the weight off following a weight loss surgery has two components-- a healthy diet and consistent exercise. Jenna focuses more on the exercise habits for bariatric patients and gives great how-to videos for workout routines.
Jenna will post video guides of how to perform any and every exercise she recommends. Along with that, she will upload entire routines to follow depending on how long ago your surgery was. Exercises for a person who had their surgery a week prior will be different to someone who had it months ago. By sticking to a proper exercise routine the pounds will stay off much easier than only sticking to a healthy diet. She does upload some healthy eating habits and recipes meaning that you can fulfill all of your needs on one page!
