BA🍪 I lost over 70kg (154lbs) while enjoying foods like this after weight loss surgery (WLS).
Bariatric surgery doesn’t mean deprivation, it’s about making small, smart ingredient swaps so you can still enjoy your favourite foods without the setbacks.
I started creating bariatric friendly recipes to help myself and others build a long term lifestyle where we can enjoy food without the triggers (like sugar) that can work against our weight loss surgery (WLS) progress.
These low carb chocolate chip protein cookies are a perfect example.
✅ Delicious
✅ Packed with protein
✅ Low carb
✅ Non crumbly (so they won’t fall apart in your hands!)
✅ A guilt free way to stay on track

• 2 tbsp milk of choice
• ½ cup sugar free chocolate chips
• A pinch of salt
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 175°C and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
2️⃣ In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients except chocolate chips and mix until smooth.
3️⃣ Fold in chocolate chips.
4️⃣ Scoop dough into 8 portions (approx. 2 tbsp per cookie) and place on the baking sheet.
