Great WLS cookbook



Recommended Posts

Not sure if everyone already know this - but I bought a great book before my banding and I have had several recipes so far, so I wanted to share for those of you looking for ideas on recipes and such. THe name of the book is "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery" by Patti Levine. It was written by a lady who had WLS several years ago along with a nutritionist and I think a cook. I got it on Amazon and have loved it!

I have that too! It is very well done, but I mostly modify my own recipees now. But it would be very good for the non-cooks on the forum.

I have that book also. What have you made out of it? I haven't made anything yet. The scallops on the front look yummy.

I have made the broccoil/cheese gratin which is delish and re-heats very well, the chicken/ricotta giandernera (SO good), the scallops with white wine and garlic, the braised pork tenderloin. They were all really good and very healthy. I enter my food on myfitnesspal.com and I found the calculations in the book to be very accurate when I manually built recipes on myfitnesspal. Great book!

I've just bought this off of eBay along with weight loss surgery cookbook for dummies. There are some great recipes in them x

I have the Wls for dummies & have gotten several recipes from the other. I strongly recommend you get them (if available) from your library first. If it looks like a keep for you, then invest in a copy for yourself. If you only find a couple of recipes just copy/write them down & save your money.

Oh wow. Sorry to hear that. Dont know what I'd do without mine. Ebay, half.com, etc can usually produce great results.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
