I’ve found that the trick to eating well post bariatric surgery lies in cheating your eyes that you are eating what everyone else is.

Practically Perfect Poached Eggs
From what I’ve seen around the internet poaching an egg is one of those things that people seem to find hardest to master. Even my mother finds poaching eggs difficult – no matter how many times Ive shown her how to do it. In multiple forums over the years I have read about various methods,…
