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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
