I see there are a few books out there with recipes for wls. Any recommendations? Especially if they have the different stages.

I would recommend that you check out twosleevers.com, which is the brainchild of our very own GamerGirl. I believe she is working on a cookbook, but in the meantime, there are lots of recipes on the site.

Thanks! Are sleeve foods the same for bypass?

My nutritionist recommended "Eating Well after Weight loss Surgery" by Patt Levine & Michele Bontempo-Saray. I really like it - recipes are tasty and show exactly what you should eat for each procedure (RNY, Sleeve etc) and for each week post-op.

Thanks! Are sleeve foods the same for bypass?

No. The sleeve is much bigger than a pouch. The sleeve also does not react the same to fried foods, high fat foods, and processed foods the same way as the pouch does because there was no bypass involved. The regular stomach acid in the sleeve processes food the same way it did in the big stomach. It's just holds a lot less food.

My Dr also recommended Eating well After Weight Loss. Very good book. Breaks down what phases you can eat certain recipes.

Just ordered on eBay. Hope they are easy recipes:)
