A lot of people recommended the weight loss surgery cookbook for dummies, available on Amazon. I bought it but I wasn't overly impressed.

I have been finding recipes for FREE online. I visit the world according to egg face blog, GREAT recipes. I also check out recipes on this website, there is a forum specifically dedicated to recipes.

Good luck with your surgery!

Ground Turkey Or Ground chicken Chili is a great meal to make. You can add Beans for more Protein & whatever veggies you like. Also the Turkey Or Chicken Meatballs. I've been looking at slow cooker recipes online

I had such a hard time finding an actual cookbook that had high Protein, low carb, nutritional info and color pictures. I finally settled on bookmarking various internet sites that had all of the above. i really like world according to eggface, but unfortunately she doesn't list the nutritional info of her recipes.< /p>

      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.
