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!

      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.
