For Dr. Shillingford’s gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and gastric band patients who are looking to cook up some Egg Muffins from this blog post, we thought we’d give you some interesting flavor ideas to keep your taste buds on their toes!
For bariatric patients (gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or gastric band) having a high protein breakfast is often essential to fitting in your total daily protein needs. But for those trying hard to stick to their post bariatric surgery diet and keep up with their busy lifestyle, cooking breakfast every morning just isn’t in the cards.
Ginger is widely regarded as a calming flavor, helping to quell nausea and stave away vomiting. Unfortunately, gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and lap band patients often experience some episodes of nausea or an upset stomach after their weight loss surgery.
A mountain climber isn’t actually what it sounds like. There’s no mountain involved. No flights to the Himalayas. No special cold weather clothes. In fact, you don’t even need any gear. A mountain climber is a bodyweight exercise that helps to burn calories for weight loss, build stamina, and strengthen your core muscles.
An almond doesn’t lactate, FDA Commissioner, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, said at a summit in Washington in July. It was a line that would dominate headlines across the nation. It’s true: an almond doesn’t lactate. But what does that have to do with almond milk?
For gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and gastric band who are entering the semi-solid food phase of their post bariatric surgery diet, finding foods to eat that you both enjoy and tolerate can be tricky.

Popular snack items have recently been recalled over fears of Salmonella contamination. Hopefully Dr. Shillingford’s gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and lap band patients are following their bariatric weight loss diets and not snacking on these carbohydrate heavy treats.
Summer in Florida can be hot. Really hot. Like standing next to the sun hot. Despite the heat, bariatric surgery patients still need to exercise to help promote weight loss, build muscle, and improve their body and mind. But how do you exercise in the heat without getting heat stroke or dehydration?
The medical nutrition therapy patients had an average weight loss of 4.2% of their body weight, which is less than the 10% reduction often recommended by clinicians to improve blood sugar, blood pressure, and other comorbidities that can lead to medical complications. Gastric sleeve surgery patients and gastric bypass patients showed significant weight loss, with both groups losing an average of over 20% of their body weight.
According to a recent study conducted by the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), some office workers consume an over 1,000 calories per week from food obtained in the office (not including the food they brought from home or ordered from take out). A quarter of the study participants racked up close to 1,300 calories in a week. An extra 1,300 per week can contribute to nearly a 20 pound weight gain in a year.
