Does anyone have any recommendations for books for additional support for lapband surgery?

Also, any recommendations for cookbooks? I've seen a few on Amazon but I always want more resources lol.

There are some interesting topics and recipes shared in this section/forum food and Nutrition - LAP-BAND

I do remember some comments about some cookbooks but not sure which threads they were on.

Just noticed these at the bottom of this page....

You know, I bought several books from Amazon that are either cookbooks for life after lapband or other WLS, or books about WLS with recipes added.... and frankly, so far, I prefer my other regular cookbooks!

I use a LOT of recipes from weight watcher's cookbooks, and I love my annual editions from Cooking Light. They have great low fat/high nutrition recipes. I also use the recipes from Cooking Light magazine, which I get. Yes- some of them are too Pasta heavy or whatever, but not all. And even the pasta ones aren't off limits in my book (but would be to some people who are mostly cutting out grain-based carbs-- I think whole grains are important, and use whole wheat pasta).

I bought several books from Amazon about lapband support. The best one is “Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band“ Everything you need to know before and after surgery to lose weight successfully by Robert W. Sewell, M.D., FACS.

It has a lot or personal stories in it too the good and the bad. I have read it several times and still pick it up and read portions of it.

"Adjustable Gastric Band“ Everything you need to know before and after surgery to lose weight successfully by Robert W. Sewell, M.D., FACS. "

Out of 3 books I got pre op this was my number one favorite. I am still refering to it.

Thanks guys, this is what I'm looking for, personal opinion on what works for others! I like reading but being on a tight budget makes me have to aim for 1 or 2 most recommended books. :laugh:

"weight loss surgery for dummies" and "the complete idiots guide to eating well after weight loss surgery"

:biggrin:

"Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery" by Patt Levine and Michele Bontempo-Saray.

It has recipes that can be adpated to all stages of post-op, from liquid to mushy to solid. Some really yummy recipes too.
