Here are some of my recipes:

Morning Protein shake

1 scoop of vanilla Protein

1 tbsp. of flax seed meal

frozen fruit

milk

one packet of splenda

Mix in blender . i tastes like a yummy smoothie.

Greek salad

lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, onions(optional), olives, feta cheese, vinegar, olive oil, and oregano. If you don't like feta cheese, just use any other of your choice. You can also sprinkle parmesan cheese on the salad, if you want.

Morrocan Fish(Salmon):

Spray with oil spray on a tray. Lay the Salmon on the tray and put sliced Tomato, sliced green pepper,garlic, carrots, sliced onion,olive oil, oregano,basil,sage, lemon , and s+p. Put a little Water on it, cover with alum. foil and in the oven for 30min/350 degrees.

Spinach with tomatoes and cheese

In a pan, put eggs, a can of crushed tomato, canned spinach, lots of cheese,s+p, adobo ,garlic,onion. It will be round like a Spanish tortilla, delicious!

Home made hummus:

A can of chickpeas, a little bit of olive oil, cumin,lemon,s+p garlic , sesame seeds. Put it all in the blender. yummy!

This is a good idea and if one person would put them together they can be uploaded to a site like Lulu.com - Self Publishing - Free and turned into a book. The advantage of doing it through an online service like LuLu is each of us could go there and buy our own book from LuLu. We would not have to fork out any money up front.

UPDATE: I've only received one recipe via email, so at this point it's going to be a very short book!

Remember, these don't have to be lap band specific recipes, just anything you make and love! (and can eat - we don't really want a whole book of chicken recipes or anything!)

Once I get it compiled, you'll have your choice between a pdf (FREE) or a bound book (price TBD), so you really have nothing to lose and a great book to gain!

Get those recipes to lbtrecipes@gmail.com ! :)

Angie,

Have you posted your idea in the recipes section? Any other place? I know others would be interested, probably lots of people would be.

Hi, I'm set for banding on March 5th and already researching what I can eat?! I would definitely love a Bandster cookbook. I am not great in the kitchen so experimenting almost always ends with a call to Dominoes--I know, not with a band it won't! I will keep checking this thread to see how it progresses--but count me in, I'll buy the book.

Bumping this up because quite a few recipes have started rolling in, so I think at the very least we will be able to get a PDF file out - which would be FREE!

Remember, these don't necessarily have to be lapband specific recipes, although healthy would be good, and not so much bread. :)

I would love to get a cookbook!!

I won't be banded until tomorrow, though.

I'll keep in touch.

I thought about going online and see what comes up for "recipes for lap band patients"...

If I find some good recipes, I will e-mail them to you!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
