Bariatric Pal offers a global online community for bariatric patients who are both pre and post op. It has been great collecting information from all different kinds of folks, with different reasons for taking on this massive journey.
Pinterest is great. It's also very torturous when you've been on a restrictive all liquid diet for over a week. However, I am finding it to be a wonderful resource for finding post-op recipes - cupcake pans will be your best friend. It's perfect for portion control. Also, there are some fabulous people who have gone great lengths to make some awesome recipes which are bariatric friendly. Post surgery, this blog will follow my progress, but I will also share a lot of my favorite foods.
I found this great visual of the benefits (mostly for females). Of these different ailments, I am hoping for the following to be eliminated post surgery.
- Metabolic Syndrome
- excess belly fat
- elevated cholesterol
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
- hirsutism
- menstrual dysfunction
- Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
- I don't have Fatty Liver disease, but have fatty liver
- Venous Statis
- varicose veins
