Caregiving after surgery is a balancing act. You want to help, but you do not want to become the food police with a casserole dish.

After bariatric surgery, families often want to help. The challenge is that bariatric food stages, portion sizes, protein goals, hydration rules, and food tolerances can feel confusing. Caregivers may not know what to cook, how much to serve, or what foods to avoid.

SmashMeals can support caregivers by making appropriate meals easier to access once the customer is cleared for them. The medical team decides the nutrition plan. SmashMeals helps reduce the cooking burden.
