Weight Loss Surgery Cookbooks



Recommended Posts

:biggrin:Just picked up recipes for Life After Weight Loss Surgery: Delicious Dishes for Nourishing the New You by Margaret Furtado at Barnes and Noble last night... excited to try some of these recipes!

I know there are other cookbooks out there for WLS... any favorites? I LOVE to cook, and would love an army of healthy recipes I can make for the whole family... I love to cook but I'm not cooking 2 dinners a night!

I can understand not cooking different meals. Does the book have nice pics included? I thought about getting that cookbook from Amazon. Let me know how you like the recipes once you try them.

There are pics of a lot of the recipes in it. I made sweet potatoes au gratin last night and it was delish!!! Each recipe lists what weeks post op you can handle that food...

I love cooking, too. I tend to make family favorites, and modify my own serving (omit the starches, whatever...) but when I am looking for new recipes, I've liked many that I've found at bariatriceating.com. They lean toward the lower-carb, which works well for me.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
