Hi, I'm new here and was recently sleeved on June 30th. I'm trying to plan ahead and am wondering if anyone has tried any sleeve cookbooks?

No, I haven't had any luck finding a descent one but......... Google has also been part of my arsenal as you can find hundreds of free websites that offer great recipes also low carb recipes, I've learned and even purchased a low end Wok to learn to stir fry, and also a scale and an indoor grill, BTW there are also websites that give gastric and carb friendly restaurants you eat at, one of the most surprising ones that you can order a fast food treat from is "Panda Express" good luck, I have a few recipes I can give you from time to time if you inbox me, I'm in for the long haul lol

I purchased the Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook for Dummies and so far I'm enjoying reading it. There are recipes for the smooth phase, soft phase, breakfasts, lunches & brunches, appetizers, poultry, beef, lamb, pork, fish, seafood and vegetarian Entrees Entrees, as well as side dishes, Soups & stews, Snacks, smoothies and Desserts. I have not made any of the dishes mainly because I want to read the book first and then try the recipes that sound the best. Good luck finding what you want.

Thanks for the info on the WLS cookbook. I didn't realize it was free but when I entered the name in the search engine I found a PDF of it for free.

This is the one my nutritionist recommended but I didn't get it because there are too many free recipes out there on the internet.

No just think Protein. I can't really even use a cookbook I eat so little the portions are always way to much. After my kids and husband eat most of the rest gets tossed after a day or two. Funny thing I use to be the one eating all the leftovers. I realize that now.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
