Favorite Cookbooks (and recipe websites)?



Recommended Posts

A friend who got her VSG four years ago recommended the two on the left in this photo, and the third popped up on Amazon and had good reviews so I got it as well. I’m a really big fan of cookbooks, and I’m curious what books or websites have been your favorites for finding interesting recipes post-WLS!

My favorite website ( besides this one) is DietDoctor.com

wonderful Keto recipes and educational videos. I think you can search the recipes for free. I love the educational videos, so I pay the $9.00 monthly fee. If you like the site, you can get a free month, binge on the videos, then quit after your free month.

I really like this one. It's not bariatric, but has loads of healthy choices and provides the nutritional information!

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm adding these to my collection for sure!

Has anyone used skinnytaste.com post-surgery? We cooked those ALL the time before surgery, hoping I can still make some of them work after!

Absolutely, you can! Just pay attention to what stage you're at. You can always add a little extra Protein if you need to!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
