My NUT recommended Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery. She said that their dieticians had looked at it and felt it was very suitable and in line with their recommendations. Each recipe tells you what to do depending on your type of surgery and what stage you're at.

I don't cook much but love cookbooks. I bought Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery, too and it looks like it has some delicious recipes. I just haven't made any.

You can also find lots of good recipes online: there are several recipe blogs (World According to Eggface and Bariatric Foodie come to mind), and there are tons of recipes in Pinterest (search bariatric, vsg, sleeve recipes, low carb high Protein, etc.)

I haven't purchased any cookbooks, but I do have a Pinterest and if you search for bariatric recipes you'll get a ton of great options! I've also saved a lot of low carb recipes for when I'm finally able to eat all foods again.

Oh! And skinnytaste.com has great recipes! She takes a lot of great meals and makes them healthier, her portions are usually smaller too!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
