Recommend me a few cook books



Recommended Posts

I'm looking in to buying some "essential" cook books to help me along especially during the first few months with puréed foods and high Protein meals.

Any essentials out there?

I rarely buy cook books anymore. There are so many recipes online that I can find everything I need with the touch of a button! Eggface has a lot of good recipes on her site. I am sure there are others out there but that is a great place to start.

emilybites has an amazing selection of 'cupcake' meals. perfect portions for sleevers and got me through the first year.

these sites have well over 300 recipes total that will knock your socks off. my kids love the way we eat now, and almost all of our meals come from these sites.

Wonderful thank you. I'm planning on doing a lot of "food" homework in the next few weeks and start stocking up the pantry with high Protein foods.

Thank you x

I kept things really simple (boring) during my puréed weeks. I had one of those Magic Bullets that I used to blend up my tuna, egg, or salmon salad. For me, I still had a hard time eating so I still ate very little during my pureed food weeks. I did buy 1001 Low-Carb recipes by Dana Carpender her receipt are simple and easy to make. Plus I needed the variety; I get really bored with food.

      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.

      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.
