This is another new favourite but a little spicier than my sausage and been casserole as it comes from a different place flavour wise. It’s also TRULY a one pot wonder as it has everything in it. Since surgery I’ve found it hard to get my protein in and looked at this as a way…

Lockdown sucks
Short but very honest post here…. I’m coming up to 22 months since I had bariatric surgery and I’ve just got on the scales after being in lockdown (due to previous medical conditions I’m not sposed to go out) I know I’ve been making bad choices due to stress and anxiety (and not just a…
Managing Christmas after bariatric surgery
Full disclosure… I am 18 months post op and at the maintaining stage of my bariatric journey and this Christmas is the first time I’ve felt in control IN MY LIFE!! Last Christmas, 6 months post op was a non-event as I had no interest in food and hated everything about the time of year…
Smoked salmon & scramble egg on sourdough
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. The truth is often that you are eating much less and I have friends that, even though they don’t experience hunger, do feel left out when everyone is eating much more…
8 months out and I’m in crisis

Sugar free apple crumble
It’s been a while since posting and I will get back through the backlog but in the meantime to celebrate 4 months since surgery I wanted to make a sugar free dessert. Inspired by one of my surgery buddies who was making apple and oat muffins for breakfast I decided to attempt a sugar free…
Words of Wisdom
I joined several Facebook groups when I started this journey and they have been an invaluable source of information and support throughout. Last week someone shared this with me and I thought it was worth sharing with you. Unfortunately I don’t know the source but the information really resonated with me… “1. Your hormones will…
My first Weight loss Wednesday selfie
I’ve been on this journey for a while now and thought it was about time I posted a before and after selfie. I hate taking my picture so excuse the stupid pose in my latest selfie but this is the first time I’ve seen a difference. 3 months since surgery and 4 stone down since…
