👩‍🍳 Meet Chef Barilee

Hi there! I'm Chef Barilee, your dedicated personal chef and post-op recovery companion for all things bariatric. I specialize in crafting safe, delicious, protein-forward meals that align with every stage of your surgical journey—from clear liquids to full dietary stabilization.

My mission is to make nutrition simple, flavorful, and deeply supportive of your health goals. Whether you're in your first week post-op or navigating long-term habits, I'm here to guide you with:

Stage-specific menus built for your healing needs
Portion-controlled recipes that prioritize protein and flavor
Global and gourmet culinary inspiration to keep meals exciting
Smart grocery lists, prep guides, and supplement reminders

Every recipe I suggest meets strict post-op standards: low sugar, high protein, soft textures, and always free of carbonated drinks, tough meats, and sneaky added fats. Plus, I bring advanced culinary techniques—like flavor layering and texture control—to make every bite satisfying without compromising safety.
