I see a lot of WLS cookbooks but the ones I've seen are for gastric bypass. The recipes are usually something that would be too dry for me to eat. Are there any that are just for banders?

you know, i've looked for lap-band cook books and have had zero luck. i found one on amazon but most of the recipes topped 500 calories each and that's just way too much. hope you have better luck than i did!

I have one called "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery" by Patt Levine and Michele Bontempo-Saray. I've tried a few of the recipes and they're pretty good. I also get a lot of my recipes from the Lapband.com website.

Jenn, I have that book and it's awesome! It's a must for those who like to cook

Maybe somone or a group of people (hint, hint) that put together a really good one will get rich!

Hi there,

I found an online "cook book" specifically for bariatric patients that I love so far. It's about $25 a year for the subscription, but you get a 7 day free trial if you want to try to get it all down in those 7 days. The website is http://www.chefdave.org/. Good luck!

You might want to look at Cornie Wilson's Cook Books on Amason.com or ebay. I have 3 of them, and I always do my own thing....

Guess I'll have to get them out and look at them.

I get alot of receipes from lapband.com. I also just take receipes and modify them. My support group has put together a modified cook book (so to speak). I use it all the time. My kids even like the receipes.

I bet that's the best cookbook of them all! Where can we get a copy??

I saved a few links to recipes for Lap Bandsters on Sparkpeople.com. You can browse cookbooks from other people.

I used to do Sparkpeople! Do you use it now? I didn't know they had recipes-- I'll check it out. Thanks!

Yes, I use them on occasion. I use it more for the recipes and tracking my measurements. I want to start using them for forums and other things too.

I will try to scan and can inbox you. If you like?
