    Bandwagon Cookery is fabulous. Easy for me to say, since I'm the author. Two other books come to mind: Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery and recipes for Life After Weight Loss Surgery. I prefer

You can try this link: http://www.health-be...t-recipes-index

PS: The recipes at that link are Paleo. The trick to using Paleo recipes is that you HAVE to stay off the carbs and processed foods. It's the same with a Ketogenic diet --- Ketogenics gives you a different energy source: fat instead of glucose (from carbs), but it won't work unless you are strictly following the diet.

A little research will give you a wealth of info.

Im finding the Paleo way of eating is full of tasty and filling food and I feel great! Im losing weight (and I just had my lap band removed a couple of weeks ago!).

I hope this helps.

Bandwagon Cookery is fabulous. Easy for me to say, since I'm the author.

Two other books come to mind: Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery and recipes for Life After Weight Loss Surgery. I prefer Eating Well, but it doesn't say how much is in a serving, so it's hard to judge portion sizes. Recipes for Life does specify serving sizes (such as 1/2 cup, 3 ounces, etc.).

Bandwagon Cookery does (of course) specify serving sizes & nutritional info for each recipe, includes modifications for each post-op diet phase, and has a lot of tips for meal-planning, food shopping, cooking for a family, strategies for problem foods, and some hilarious (of course) stories about food and cooking.

I also subscribe to Cooking Light and Eating Well magazines. I get lots of ideas from them.

I also like Ellie Krieger's cookbooks. Not targeted to WLS, but delicious, healthy, and easy recipes.

I don't think it's essential to use only WLS cookbooks. Like you, I get food boredom very easily, so the more recipe sources, the better. If you can only buy one cookbook, please do buy Bandwagon Cookery, whose very modest profits are used for food and veterinary care for the 12 dogs and 3 cats here at the 9 Dogs Howling ranch. Speaking of which, the dogs just sounded an alarm. I'd better go see if there really is an army of fire-breathing dragons in the yard.
