I Saw Something On This Earlier, But Did't Write It Down Can Any One Tell Me Where To Get One Or Order One. Been Banded Since 9-11 Ready To Eat Some Good But Healthy food.

Thanks

And Lauren, yeah I think as long as we make a statement about how we're not doctors or claiming to be, blah blah, it'd be a good cookbook!

REGULAR meals for REGULAR (banded) people!

If the forum wants to put together their own cookbook, I can make it happen! :eek:

Awesome Idea!!!!

I think there are 2 different cookbooks that y'all might be referring to. I just ordered one that's different than the one originally posted about. Does that make sense? I found 2 at amazon.com. One is: recipes for Life After Weight-Loss Surgery: Delicious Dishes for Nourishing the New You (Healthy Living Cookbooks) (Paperback) --This is the one I ordered and there was also: Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery: Over 140 Delicious Low-Fat High-Protein Recipes to Enjoy in the Weeks, Months and Years After Surgery (Paperback)--which is the one I thought was mentioned. If y'all are talking about the 2nd one, I'll let everyone know how the recipes are in the one I ordered.

Yes I ordered the Second one . Thats the one I have. IF the one you ordered is any different please let me know

I just looked up the first book if you click on it on amazon it lets you read the first few pages, its for Bypass patients,:eek: not that we cant use it.

Let me know if the recipe's are more "Normal " though .

I'm a web designer, programmer, and own a web hosting company.

I'm considering creating a website devoted to gastric banding recipes (possibly sections for other procedures too) where people can submit recipes and share them and it would of course be free. I've been looking for such a place and I think it could be really useful.

It could be fully automated, allow submission, searching,

Does anyone think this would be useful? Would anyone use it? I think it would be fun to make and could prove really useful if others think so...

I know my doc's post op diet is the same for bypass as it is for banding but I'm not sure about other foods. (I need to familiarize myself with more bypass diet issues.)

I wonder if bypass and banding have the same issues, I don't know. Anyone know?

There is one place that you can enter a list of stuff you have in your kitchen and it will list the recipes on the site that you can make with what you already have. That would be a cool feature.

It would be cool to have a link to NutritionData.com NutritionData's Nutrition Facts Calorie Counter so that people could enter the complete recipe and get a total food label for it with healthier alternatives (such as using ground turkey vs. hamburger in chili).

Stages for the diet. Pre op for those that are on a low carb, low fat, adequate Protein diet vs. a liquid diet where recipes don't matter. Then a section for clears, full liquids, soft foods, then solids.

Just my thoughts.

For what it's worth I think Having a quick resource for recipes is a fantastic idea! I have already used some that I have found here and they really saved me in the first few weeks! GOOD IDEA!!!

Do you have any fish or vegetable recipes?

I would really appreciate it!!!

<p>I'm one week from being banded and I hate to cook. I cooked for the family I grew up in later and my own 6 kids and I think I'm just burned out. My plan is to live mainly on pre-made meals like lean cousine, wieghtwatchers etc. I'm hoping one at a time will be enough after banding (Now I need at least 2 at a time) Am I being realistic? I have a bunch of nutri-system meals from my last failed diet. I plan to puree some of those for the mushie stage. Do you think that will work? Any advise is welcome.</p>

Down the road, I do think 1 lean cuisine for 2 meals is realistic.

Those healthy choice meals (that have entree, 2 veggies, and dessert) I could easily turn into 3 meals even.

I don't know how well those things reheat though. Anytime I do a lean cuisine, I give it to my husband to finish with his food.

I think a cookbook and/or website would be AWESOME!! As someone just starting out on the journey to Bandland, I know I would find it very helpful. I keep reading through the posts and think the food changes are going to be the most intimidating thing about the change.

What did I tell ya'll TOO Similar LOL

Hello. Mindy mentioned having an RD/Nutritionist look over recipies. I would love love love to put my career to use here.

I think it's a great idea. Let me know how I can help. I actually own a business and recipie breakdown for nutrients is one thing we do a lot of.

I'm excited.

I think that is a good idea and frankly I think it would give the cook book a more professonal note and allow it to be taken more seriously .

First off: YOU GUYS TOTALLY ROCK!!! :cheer2:

Secondly, I just ordered the Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery book because I do like to cook some more involved recipes. I find it to be gratifying...and I have also noticed that whenever I do cook a meal that takes more time to prepare, I actually do eat less of it. Hopefully after I am banded and able to consume real food this will continue to be the case.

Thank you guys for bringing up the cookbook topic. I definitely would not have thought of it myself!
