There is someone that posted a cookbook that is a free download (can't remember the name of the original poster). Since there is no copyright, you can print off the download at kinko's and punch-hole it into a binder or book. The web address that has the PDF download is below:

Again, thanks to who originally posted this great resource!

I like the recipes from Nom Nom Paleo - both the blog http://nomnompaleo.com/ and the cookbook: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GA4L9AA?btkr=1 - although it is not specific for wls, I find the recipes all meet my bariatric team's guidelines and are really good.

The best cookbook I've found is Bob Harper's Skinny Meals and so far my husband loves what I've made. They are all high Protein, low carb, low fat, and the caloric values are perfect as well. I have a very busy work and home schedule and these meals are easy, basic, simple and have a wonderful taste and textures! I downloaded it as an ebook and I just prop up my iPad when I am making these meals. FYI my 14 year old loves it too. Almond crusted chicken with balsamic string Beans is our fav so far!

I agree that Nom Nom Paleo is an excellent resource. Also, My Daily Apple www.mydailyapple.com is another for recipes that do not come from factory foods.

Paleo / Primal foods can meet our requirements. Basically those recipes are from meats and low starch veggies.

Most post-surgery diets I've seen posted are geared toward high-Protein, lower-carb, and lower-fat lifestyle. I did Atkins for quite a few years and low-carb recipes lend themselves well to a post-sleeve diet, assuming that you moderate the fattier meats and oils used.

My favorite site for recipes is at LowCarbFriends.

      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.
