lightnhealthy 0 Posted March 21, 2010 Does anyone have any recommendations for books for additional support for lapband surgery? Also, any recommendations for cookbooks? I've seen a few on Amazon but I always want more resources lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aquarius12459 0 Posted March 21, 2010 Does anyone have any recommendations for books for additional support for LAP-BAND® surgery? Also, any recommendations for cookbooks? I've seen a few on Amazon but I always want more resources lol. There are some interesting topics and recipes shared in this section/forum food and Nutrition - LAP-BAND I do remember some comments about some cookbooks but not sure which threads they were on.

jensmallwood 0 Posted March 21, 2010 You know, I bought several books from Amazon that are either cookbooks for life after lapband or other WLS, or books about WLS with recipes added.... and frankly, so far, I prefer my other regular cookbooks! I use a LOT of recipes from weight watcher's cookbooks, and I love my annual editions from Cooking Light. They have great low fat/high nutrition recipes. I also use the recipes from Cooking Light magazine, which I get. Yes- some of them are too Pasta heavy or whatever, but not all. And even the Pasta ones aren't off limits in my book (but would be to some people who are mostly cutting out grain-based carbs-- I think whole grains are important, and use whole wheat pasta).

123crod 170 Posted March 21, 2010 I bought several books from Amazon about lapband support. The best one is “Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band“ Everything you need to know before and after surgery to lose weight successfully by Robert W. Sewell, M.D., FACS. It has a lot or personal stories in it too the good and the bad. I have read it several times and still pick it up and read portions of it. Cheri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lightnhealthy 0 Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks guys, this is what I'm looking for, personal opinion on what works for others! I like reading but being on a tight budget makes me have to aim for 1 or 2 most recommended books. :laugh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
