What’s in your fridge right now—salmon, chicken, or tofu? 🥗

We turned three everyday proteins into bariatric-friendly ideas for different post-op stages, complete with estimated macros and a grocery list.

Follow The Bariatric Society and comment “recipes” and we’ll send you the full list + free Fridge to Plate Recipe Creator.

Your surgical team’s plan always comes first. Save this for your next “what am I eating?” moment.

Post-bariatric hypoglycemia — the crashing, shaky low blood sugar some of us get after eating post-op — finally has a drug in Phase 3.

Avexitide*(Amylyx) showed 55% fewer Level 2+3 hypo events than placebo; full data drops at ObesityWeek Nov 15.

*Not approved yet, NDA planned by end of year. Have you ever dealt with post-meal crashes?
