I have run across a website about a book published in Austrailia that seems to be specifically for a lapband bandster.

Has anyone ever heard of it or found it in their research for nutritional things to eat after being banded? The website is:

www.foodtalk.com.au/pubs.html. The cost is $16.00 anywhere in the world. If you go to the site it lists the ISBN number and it has items of interest to a bandster.

If anyone else thinks it's worth it, let me know. This is the only book I have found that may be of assistance in helping acheive a weight loss goal.

Thanks for reading and hopefully letting me know what you think about it.

Hi Tacy -

I have to confess that I am intrigued, even though I know that except for the liquid/mush stages, bandsters can eat pretty much anything they can tolerate, and that our nutritional needs are no different than before (since we have no malabsorption issues).

If I saw it in a bookstore I definitely would have a sit and thumb through it, but I don't know that I'm willing to pay $16 +shipping and handling for a book that I'm relatively certain won't tell me anything I don't already know... :cry

That's the great thing about marketing - people are convinced that there is a big secret they haven't learned yet, and even though we are constantly being disappointed by spending big bucks to learn stuff we already knew, there's always the possibility that it could be life changing, particularly if one has not become completely jaded with the whole game.

I guess I am not yet completed jaded with the whole game, but I am a little more picky about what I allow myself to get sucked into...
