LBT Official Cookbook?

[Onnie67 0]

Here's an idea I've been throwing around in my head.

What if we all contributed our favorite recipes, and then I typed them up into a cookbook. Then I could have them printed and bound and we'd each have one (you'd just pay the cost of printing/binding/shipping, I'm not out to make money, just compile your recipes :cursing:).

I've done this with a couple of my other internet groups, and I ADORE those books! It's great to have a book with recipes that you know people have tried and enjoyed, not just crap people made up to fill a book, kwim?

They wouldn't be anything fancy by any stretch of the imagination, just your typical fundraiser cookbooks, paper with a plastic binding.

If there's enough interest, I'll start another thread with the details. If not, I'll go back to my cave.

OH YES!! that would be awesome!!

Hello Angie4big:

I would love one as well. I am pre-band and do not have any recipes as of yet. Let me know where to send the money.

I think your idea is wonderful! It would be so helpful if there was just a section on Protein drinks andsoft foods. Those of us not banded yet cuold really use something like that! I don't have a single recipe to contribute, but I would like the book!!

Let us know when it is ready and where to send a check to receive a cook book.

I would love a copy of the cookbook too! I will email at least three recipes this weekend.

Thank you for coordinating this idea!

I haven't been banded yet but hope to be so shortly!!! I'd LOVE to have a cookbook. Let us know when it is ready. I'd buy one for sure! What a GREAT idea!

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

I hope it will be an actual cook book, and not something we have to down load. I would rather pay for the cook book and the shipping than have to print it out and just have a lot of sheets stapled together.

I need to go back and read this entire thread. I can't remember how it's going to be done, but I do want one.

Angie, There is a CD out called Aunt Matilda's how to do a cookbook. It is really good it shows and formats the cookbook. I am starting a family cookbook. Recipies from my Aunts, Grandmother, and myself. Here is the address The Cookbook People 3607 Yates St. Boise Idaho 83703 I believe the CD is $24.95 or $29.95.

I would love to have there be helpful info in there about the usual protocals for newly banded and for when you have a fill as well.

and what the usual person in the sweet zone should be eating to obtain a steady weight loss. then how to boost that loss when you start to feel stalled . these would be helpful things to have in print to be able to re read when you need motivation. I have been looking for a book to read on the subject and there is not one out there not that I have found only for the gastric bypass people and we really are diffrent than what is discribed in that.

My sister and I had just been talking on the phone today about writing a book like that. lol and then here I find you alll talking about it.

I have been banded over a year and am feeling very down and impatient right now about my progress and was just searching and found this site today . I have lost about 40 lbs but still weight 254 and have been on a platau for about three months. I am thnking I need a fill as I can eat almost anything with out a problem. I have an insurance issue I am trying to get straight first. I have never had any real support from my DR and have not been able to go to any meetings or have any nutrition consults except before hand so feel maybe I could have been doing more to help myself so I feel guilty for not loosing more. But the real problem is head hunger and that I just love to eat.

where do I send the recipies I have to? and are they being posted here somewhere? I am pretty new to bloging sorry for the dumb questions. Looking forward to the cook book and would love to help with it. Hugs gail:thumbup:
