Hey everyone. :) I just got a new cookbook so I could start thinking about what fun things I can make and have at some point in the near future. Does anyone else have a good one?

I got "Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook for Dummies" It has every stage in it...seems pretty cool and easy.

Advice from others?

I've been looking on Pinterest and saving recipes for all stages, can't wait for next Wednesday for puréed food

. I need to get a bunch more from there too. I still have about 2 weeks before I get to have puréed food. I can't wait either. :)

I searched weightloss surgery, wls, and gastric bypass. Than at the top I picked the catagory I was most interested in, plenty for every stage.

One of the authors of that book is Chef Dave Fouts. He lost 210 pounds following gastric bypass in 2001, and seems to have found a mission in life to develop flavorful healthy recipes for gastric bypass patients. He's written a number of good cookbooks. If you're curious, just google "chef dave fouts" and you can find him on Facebook, twitter, etc. Very inspirational guy, and his recipes look great.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
