Chef Dave!
Congratulations on your show. Loved it. I’d say more, but I’m off to the grocery store to buy the ingredients for the grilled chicken pecan salad

Way to go, my friend.

Thanks Chef Dave! Congrats on your first show! Love the watermellon lesson. I look forward to watching and learning more!

Congratulations & Thank You, Thank YOU! This is so wonderful & needed. I love everything about WLSchannel. The only thing I would suggest is – it needs to be advertised more broadly. I found out from an email you sent from being a member on your site. My support groups weren’t aware of it either. Now they are & I’ll let as many as possible know. Looking forward to really using all this good info & resources to help me stay on track. I’m at a crossroad in my life and my 2yr post surgery, this is just what I need. Excited & looking forward to everything to come. Chef Dave I met you in Feb at the lightenup expo & you were very encouraging and real. You are a godsend.
Continued Success & Thanks again.

Great show! I have not had my surgery yet, but my friend did and she turned me onto this website! Can I substitute tomatoes for the bell pepper?

Thanks Chef Dave for the kind words. I want to tell everyone that may not know you personally that you are the real thing…a good man and passionate about what you do. It’s a great venue for more people to find out about the man called Chef Dave so it’s a good thing to stay tuned in to your show!
Many blessings, Yvonne (aka Bariatric Girl)

More responses to your questions and comments…
Amy *** The watermelon tip was a must in the first show. It is summer after all! Just by learning a few cutting techniques prep goes so much easier…
LDH ***The Weight Loss Surgery Cahnnel has been up since the begiining of the year…Tell all your friends! As for how you can help I’m open for suggetions, your right…this is the best website for WLS anywhere!!!
Linda*** Thanks for the support and the compliments…
Karen*** Congrats on your decision I now it was not an easy one to make. It only took me two years to finally make my desicion to have Gastric Bypass…Best thing I ever did for myself! As for tomatoes for red bell pepper, you can but it will change the taste and the texture to the recipe.

LOVED the watermelon salad – I made it this morning for my coworkers for lunch….. I wasn’t too sure about adding the green onions at first, but WOW you were right about what it does with the watermelon and strawberries. I’m looking forward to watching you more – Thanks again.
August 5th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Thanks for the compliments..It is one of my favorite salads! However, I can’t wait for you to see the other shows they are packed with lots of cool tips and tricks. Let me know what you think…

Thanks for the great initial episode. As a newbie, it would be helpful if you would post the portion size and the calorie/protein amounts.
August 9th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
I am such a foodie and love to cook – so happy to see this segment. Downloaded the recipies – pictures would be nice.
August 12th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Am going to make the Chicken Pecan Salad for a girls night out…not a fan of onions, is there a sub or can I just do without???
August 13th, 2009 at 8:42 pm
Awesome first episode Dave! I look forward to trying the chicken salad- what I find being almost 4 years out is boredom with protein and this is a change!
Looking forward to more from you- smiles!

I loved the salads.
You are just what the WLS world needed.
Thank you for your insight and positive attitude.
I hope you success with the show and keep the fabulous recipes coming.
Will you be doing any recipes with turkey in the future?
Have an absolutely fabulous day!!!!!

We have only scratched the surface as for what the show will be cooking. I think I’m seeing turkey in the very near future….
