Does anyone know if there is a good cookbook out there for lapband surgery patients?

Yes... I like Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery...

Thank you!

I hear this question asked a lot and it's a tough one to answer. Giving recommendations for liquids and mushies is usually pretty universal. However, once you get banded all bets are off. Our bands can be so finicky and different from each other depending on size, placement, an restriction. What I would recommend is trying to stick to dense foods as they seem to go through the band well. I'd encourage you to mix things up a lot and try new things. You might find certain diets like Atkins or South Beach work great for you or you discover they are terrible. It's taken me a long time to get used to what foods work well with my band and which ones don't. It still surprises me sometimes when my 'go to' foods are almost impossible for someone else to eat and then they tell me their 'go to' foods I can't hardly eat them. Just experiment experiment experiment and find out what works well for you. Oh, and just so you know, don't be surprised if you have to throw away the rulebook after each fill. Lol. Good luck on your journey!

Thanks for the advice...I will keep it in mind

I bought Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook for Dummies. It has recipes that are easy to follow along with lots of helpful tips. I really like it!

Thanks. I will look into that one too. :-)

I bought the Bandwagon Cookery from amazon. There are a lot of good recipes and she even gives examples of substitutions and what to pair it with. Written by a banded person also.

I don't have a cookbook per se, but I get ideas online at www.hungrygirl.com and www.skinnytaste.com quite a bit.
