Valentine\u2019s Day seems to revolve around giving oversized boxes of chocolates, chocolate desserts, and then, when you\u2019re feeling overly sugared, even more chocolate. It feels like everywhere you look you\u2019re being enticed with some kind of tasty dessert. If this is your first Valentine\u2019s since you\u2019ve had bariatric surgery most likely it\u2019s been difficult to pass up the goodies you\u2019re used to enjoying. Don\u2019t worry. It\u2019s normal to feel like you\u2019re missing out during the holidays that revolve around food, however, once you find a library of bariatric recipes, changing habits and navigating food-filled holidays can be a cinch. This Valentine\u2019s Day, consider some tasty protein-rich dessert alternatives that still let you indulge without getting off track. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Liquid Diet Desserts for Bariatric Patients<br \/>\n<\/strong>For patients who recently had surgery and who are still on a liquid diet, turn your current diet into a romantic V-Day date.
