Hi all! I am not on stage 4 quite yet, but I was thinking about some of the comfort foods that I've always enjoyed making and eating. I thought it would be fun and interesting for people to share their bariatric friendly comfort food recipes, because I need some healthier versions of things I enjoyed pre-surgery. ?

I make pizza now and again on a cauliflower crust and I can eat a small slice without any trouble. I really don't have any desire to eat many other comfort foods.......when I make tacos I just eat the meat with a little cheese and I get scratch the itch without any trouble!!!

This summer the one thing I am afraid I am going to miss is a cold beer when I am out on the boat when its hot!! I haven't had anything carbonated and thats something I just don't think you can substitute !!!

I will also miss a good cold beer!! I wasn’t much of a drinker before surgery, but sometimes a beer just sounds delicious.

Amen to that. I am not much of a drinker at all but in the summer when it’s 100 above and I’m out on the boat a cold beer is pretty darn good!!!

Not a regular drinker either but I probably have a Friday or Saturday night once or twice a month where we chill at the neighbors house and have some drinks or they all chill at our house around a fire with some. I am soooooooooo gonna miss those nights!

Summer is the only time when my drinking may increase because our pool is open and, well, I just like to be poolside with some drinks or swimming and having a few. We also have an outdoor movie screen so we do movie nights outside a lot in the Summer. And again, drinks are involved. So yeah, the thought of that changing is sort of a bummer.

I have seen many recipes for Turkey meatloaf. I have been meaning to try one so if you make it let me know. That with some cauliflower mashed potatoes would be good.
