This page introduces the story behind SmashMeals bariatric meals. The video is not a post-surgery eating plan or clearance to eat a particular meal after sleeve or bypass surgery. A bariatric category name does not establish that a food fits your current recovery stage.

The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery describes a special post-surgery diet explained by the bariatric team, with progression from liquids toward soft and solid foods. Follow your own team's current instructions for diet stage, texture, portion and nutrition requirements rather than advancing because a meal is marketed as bariatric.

When your care team says prepared meals are appropriate, compare the exact current item and selected portion with that plan. Review only the nutrition values, ingredients and allergen details actually published for it. A protein number, small portion or gluten-free label does not establish texture or overall suitability; missing information is unknown, not zero.

Ask SmashMeals about the exact meal, portion, ingredients or preparation detail before ordering if a required fact is missing. SmashMeals can answer food-information questions but does not determine your recovery stage, approve a therapeutic diet or replace your surgeon or dietitian. If the necessary information or care-team clearance is unavailable, do not assume the meal fits.
