My NUT recommended Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery. She said that their dieticians had looked at it and felt it was very suitable and in line with their recommendations. Each recipe tells you what to do depending on your type of surgery and what stage you're at.

I don't cook much but love cookbooks. I bought Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery, too and it looks like it has some delicious recipes. I just haven't made any.

You can also find lots of good recipes online: there are several recipe blogs (World According to Eggface and Bariatric Foodie come to mind), and there are tons of recipes in Pinterest (search bariatric, vsg, sleeve recipes, low carb high Protein, etc.)

I haven't purchased any cookbooks, but I do have a Pinterest and if you search for bariatric recipes you'll get a ton of great options! I've also saved a lot of low carb recipes for when I'm finally able to eat all foods again.

Oh! And skinnytaste.com has great recipes! She takes a lot of great meals and makes them healthier, her portions are usually smaller too!

      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.
