As the clock ticks down to surgery day, I'm wondering if those of you who are post-op or are in the maintenance phase have favorite bariatric cookbooks or recipe blogs that you recommend.

I see Amazon has some great bariatric cookbooks, specifically bariatric air fryer cookbooks, which I'm excited about in order to reduce cooking my protein in oil/butter.

TIA!

when I was an early post-op, I found some recipes on the blog "The World According to Eggface" https://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

now I just modify regular recipes - you get the hang of it after awhile. Some really can't be modified to fit our plans, but many can...

I will be sure and check it out! Thank you. My Hope Is that I will be able to modify regular recipes but I feel like I need a lot of guidance for the first several months as my family will be eating regular meals.

I've found that cookbooks tend to have a lot of recipes that I don't really care for. Pinterest is actually better for me. I'm just not willing to spend money on a cookbook, only to get 5 usable recipes.

Tbh, I'm not a fan of bariatric cook books as many tend to recycle the same stuff (don't get me started on all those authors who act like they invented the ricotta cheese bake lol)

I find that you can find everything & more on YouTube! Also Pinterest if you want to read your recipes instead.
