In a hurry and don't have time to cook? Try these pre-made bariatric meals!

Kimberly Hembree
Are you on the go a lot and don’t have time to cook? I know I am! I am constantly on the go and often times forget to make my lunch for work. I also don’t always have time to cook at night, which makes life after weight loss surgery challenging for me sometimes. Often when people forget their lunch, they go out for fast food at lunchtime. Unfortunately, this is not the best choice for bariatric patients as we can’t eat many things on fast food restaurant menus. There are certain foods we must make sure we are eating to stay healthy after weight loss surgery. These pre-made meals are perfect for bariatric patients!

BariatricPal’s Hot Chocolate Protein Drink is the perfect alternative to normal hot chocolate. At 80 calories, 3g sugar and 15g of protein, it is an amazing winter drink.

Protein! It is one of the most critical things needed after bariatric surgery because it supports healthy muscle function and metabolism.
