Salted Toffee Pretzel Bar
I love this flavor! It tastes like a rice crispy treat with toasted butter. So good!!!!
- Beth S.
Chocolate Brownie Shake
It takes like brownie batter. It’s so good. I shake it with lots of ice until it’s super cold and then eat it with a spoon.
- Emily H.
Pancakes
I love the pancakes every morning for breakfast with my coffee. They are fluffy and make two good size pancakes per package! I use sugar free syrup. I will buy these again next time!
- Jennifer S.
Sloppy Joe Vegetarian
This exceeded my expectations. It's sweet and delicious. Love to use it as a dip for peppers so I get my veggies at the same time.
- Amanda B.
Pretzels
The pretzels are great, they satisfy that desire for crunchy snacks. There is not a lot of salt by itself, but that works well with a dip or cheese. I also grind them up for a coating instead of bread crumbs to make fried chicken or fish. A must have!
- Melanie H.
CheeseSteak Pasta
If you like easy mac or hamburger helper type foods, this is great. It helps with cravings and it's nice to have something that is more of a comfort food.
- Sarah K.
Frequently Asked Questions
The products in this collection are specifically formulated to meet the strict, unique nutritional needs of weight loss surgery patients. Unlike standard diet foods, they focus on delivering high-density nutrition in very small, portion-controlled volumes. This ensures you can comfortably hit your protein targets before your smaller stomach feels uncomfortably full.
We have options for every stage of your recovery. You can also browse our products by Phase. Fruit drinks & broths are perfect for the early Clear Liquid Phase. Our shakes and puddings are great for the Full Liquids and Puree Phase. While our pastas, soft entrees, and mug cake snacks are great for the Soft Food Stage. Just double-check that the food's texture matches your current diet phase.
Absolutely. Because they are so low in carbs and added sugars, they won't cause sharp blood sugar spikes. They are a safe, stable choice for anyone managing diabetes.
We offer a huge variety of flavors and textures so you never get bored. If you're tired of sweet protein shakes, you can easily mix it up with savory soups, cheesy pastas, or crunchy pretzel twists without breaking your diet rules.
What you can eat on a bariatric diet depends on your specific stage of post-op recovery, as your stomach needs time to heal and adjust. It generally progresses through four main phases:
- Phase 1 (Clear Liquids): Broths, sugar-free popsicles, and clear protein drinks.
- Phase 2 (Full Liquids/Purees): Protein shakes, puddings, thin yogurt, and smooth blended soups.
- Phase 3 (Soft Foods): Fork-mashable, tender foods like scrambled eggs, lite pasta entrees, cottage cheese, and soft-cooked vegetables.
- Phase 4 (Regular Foods): A gradual return to normal solid foods, prioritizing lean proteins and vegetables while avoiding tough dry meats, high-sugar items, and simple carbs.

Tips for Eating After Surgery
- Focus on Protein: Always eat your protein first to maintain muscle before you run out of room.
- Chew Until Smooth: Chew your food until it is mushy to prevent it from getting stuck or causing pain.
- Separate Food and Drink: Wait 30 minutes after eating before drinking to keep your stomach from emptying too fast.
- Listen to Your Body: Stop eating at the first sign of fullness to avoid nausea or discomfort.
Tips for Long-Term Success
- Plan Your Meals: Keep healthy meals ready in your pantry so you don't reach for high-sugar snacks.
- Watch for Slider Foods: Avoid crunchy snacks that don't keep you full; stick to dense proteins instead.
- Track Your Progress: Keep a food log to stay mindful of your protein and stay on track with your goals.
- Keep it Interesting: Use bariatric-friendly spices to keep your meals flavorful and exciting.
- Support: Join a bariatric support group if possible. It helps so much being able to hear from other people going through the same issues as you.
