Searching for a good cook book

[dork 114]

I'm getting tired of eating dairy products for the Protein. I'm 6 weeks out now and getting bored with the food choices, although I only eat 4 oz at a time. I've been on Amazon looking for cookbooks and seems all of the books reviews say they aren't high protein low carb. Anyone have a cook book they really like? Or should I be looking for Atkins or South Beach books?

thanks

if you do a google search on high Protein low carb cookbooks it should help. Also ebay. Chef Dave has soon good recipes. He's actually one of us.

Check out theworldaccordingtoeggface.com and emilybites.com both sites have tons of great sleeve friendly recipes for all stages of diet.

Good luck and congrats on your surgery!

I like the recipes and cooking tips from imperfectlife.net. The author is a bypass patient, so her recipes are geared toward post-WLS patients. Lots of variety and easy, cook ahead dishes are posted.

Did you try the library? I checked out 4 different cookbooks for after weight loss surgery. I need to someday get around to actually looking at them!

I've struggled with finding good recipes that are high protein/low carb, too.

Someone already suggested theworldaccordingtoeggface.com which has become one of my favorite sites, and I really like bariatricfoodie.com. Both blog authors are RNY patients but have a ton of recipes that work for us, too. Even more important for me, both authors are really honest about what they've done that works and doesn't for them post-op.

When I get bored or can't find something that piques my interest on those sites, I will search interest for low carb or high Protein recipes. Sparkpeople.com is good for recipes but requires a little more work to find the low carb options. I also love skinnytaste.com for just general ideas. It's a great place for me to start with a healthy recipe and modify it to fit what I need, especially when it's something the rest of the house can eat.
