Are There Any Good "post Op" Cookbooks?



Recommended Posts

I'm starting to look around for a good cookbook to help me make high Protein decisions for when I'm ready. Anyone have any recommendations?

"A Collection of Neighborhood Recipes" from Living after Weight Loss Surgery. Another great sight for support and information. www.livingafterWLS.com

"Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook for Dummies" & "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery" are two cookbooks that I have found on Amazon. I downloaded them on my Kindle, but I haven't used any the recipes yet. I also ordered Hungry Girl's new cookbook.

I just received 3 that I ordered from Amazon.< /p>

Weight loss surgery for Dummies (the best one...has tons of info in it), Eating Well after Weight loss surgery and High Protein meals. I think I will go by the library and look at what they have too.

I am 10 days post op and find it fun to look at recipes that I can improve on or can cook in the future. Having this surgery, at least in the beginning will require more effort to cooking.

I am eagerly awaiting to try the Baked Ricotta next Tuesday!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
