Favorite Cookbooks (and recipe websites)?



Recommended Posts

A friend who got her VSG four years ago recommended the two on the left in this photo, and the third popped up on Amazon and had good reviews so I got it as well. I’m a really big fan of cookbooks, and I’m curious what books or websites have been your favorites for finding interesting recipes post-WLS!

My favorite website ( besides this one) is DietDoctor.com

wonderful Keto recipes and educational videos. I think you can search the recipes for free. I love the educational videos, so I pay the $9.00 monthly fee. If you like the site, you can get a free month, binge on the videos, then quit after your free month.

I really like this one. It's not bariatric, but has loads of healthy choices and provides the nutritional information!

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm adding these to my collection for sure!

Has anyone used skinnytaste.com post-surgery? We cooked those ALL the time before surgery, hoping I can still make some of them work after!

Absolutely, you can! Just pay attention to what stage you're at. You can always add a little extra Protein if you need to!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
