Great detailed recipes that you know you can eat:
I ordered this book right after my surgery, so I had it in hand when I could start eating pureed foods. I found all the details that post-surgery patients have to worry about: high protein, specific instructions for portions, no sugar or fat, and very knowledgeable info about the diet needs of post gastric bypass patients. I've made several recipes (my absolute favorite is the Asian Scallops...the marinade is great on chicken too!) and I look forward to trying the vegetables when I start adding those back... more info
Excellent recipies!:
I was hoping to find a few things that would work for me after my surgery in November. I was pleased to find many, many recipies that are easy and delicious. I have dog-eared so many pages that I need to find a better way to mark off my favorites!
Good eats for the Small minded!:
Eating well after weightloss surgery says it all. With 140+ recipes it will be a long time before I get bored with these meals. Flavor is formost, with all the important needs taken care of. This book was recomended to me by one of my nurses who is one year after the same surgery as me and looks great! She's happy with the menu so am I.
Wow...Just Wow!:
I had gastric bypass in August 2004 and have been looking for a cookbook to manage my weight. 4 1/2 years after my surgery, I'm still within my goal weight and this book had a lot to do with it. Varied, flavorful recipes with all the nutritional facts have helped me to sustain my goal weight.
