Mike Alley discusses why your changing relationship with food is pivotal to your success following bariatric surgery. Will you have to give up all the foods you love or is there a way to be both a bariatric and a foodie? Mike has five tips to help you love your new reality and have a healthy and happy relationship with food. We also take our first trip to the Bariatric Bros Test Kitchen to sample and review some new protein snacks from Shrewd Food. Mike will also explain how you can join our team for the Walk from Obesity coming up in September.

Sometimes you have to change up what you are doing to address something important. We had planed a show around one of our favorite things: FOOD! But there was something more important that Mike felt he needed to talk about. The mental health part of your bariatric life is just as important as the nutrition. How is your mental game?

Mike continues his conversation with Kirk Hunt who had his procedure more than 7-years ago. Kirk talks about moderating the Bariatric Bad Boys Club support group on Facebook and why it is different from other groups (link below). They discuss the one thing that could be a major selling point for the procedure for men but not many people talk about...but they do! Mike also learns the one thing bariatric people ask that makes Kirk lose his zen-like nature.
We also have the BBros' Shout Out and Mike has a craving for the latest Chaffle of the Week!
NOTE: There is some strong language and frank discussion of men's sexuality in this episode

Bariatric Bros Chaffle of the Week: Pizza Chaffle
Recipe
1 egg
1/2 cup of shredded Mozzarella
2 Tbsp almond flour
1/2 tsp of Italian seasoning
1 Tbsp heavy cream
1/8 tsp baking powder
dash of Cayene pepper
pinch of garlic salt
Sprinkle shredded cheddar on the chaffle maker before your batter on one side only so the top stays soft and the bottom gets crispy. After cooking remove and cool for a few minutes on a wire rack.
Spread 1 tsp of pizza sauce on each chaffle to coat the top (I use Rao's as it's low in carbs). Then cover with shredded mozzarella and top with your favorite toppings and sprinkle a bit more mozzarella cheese. Note: cut your toppings up nice and small so you can get good coverage. Place under broiler or in toaster oven and cook until cheese is melted. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn! Enjoy...
Steveithechaffleguy says: Make some of the chaffles up ahead of time and freeze them. Then pop them in the toaster and add your toppings and you have quick pizzas anytime you feel the need...
