WLS cookbooks?

[M2G 1,836]

I have Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery too! (written by Patt Levine) I bought it at Barnes & Noble.

I like it because she has a very easy to follow chart at the bottom of each recipe on how much to serve and when depending on the type of WLS you have. (She does NOT have anything specific for the sleeve, I think because it is probably too new, but she has the band, RNY, BPD-DS) but she has great recommendations for pureeing food, etc. She also has the complete nutrition breakdown including calories and Protein content. I believe the author herself has had a band since 2003.

There IS a lot of fish recipes, and admittedly I'm not much of a fish fan beyond salmon and tuna. Hopefully her recipes will inspire me to eat more fish. The one drawback is there are absolutely NO pictures.

Now that I've used this cookbook, I actually would NOT recommend it to anyone. Truth be told, I have only made 2 recipes, but they were both not that good. :frown2: Feel like I wasted my money. :mad4:

Oh well, live and learn right?

I've rented the Eating Well after WLS cookbook from my library. I have to admitt there aren't a lot in there that I would use. I need something that I can actually use daily. I'm 5 months out since my surgery and need more ideas of things to eat. If you have any suggestions, let me know. Thanks.
