Here's an idea I've been throwing around in my head.

What if we all contributed our favorite recipes, and then I typed them up into a cookbook. Then I could have them printed and bound and we'd each have one (you'd just pay the cost of printing/binding/shipping, I'm not out to make money, just compile your recipes :eek:).

I've done this with a couple of my other internet groups, and I ADORE those books! It's great to have a book with recipes that you know people have tried and enjoyed, not just crap people made up to fill a book, kwim?

They wouldn't be anything fancy by any stretch of the imagination, just your typical fundraiser cookbooks, paper with a plastic binding.

If there's enough interest, I'll start another thread with the details. If not, I'll go back to my cave. :frown:

I would also love to have a cookbook.

Add me to the list please!

Count me in for a cookbook. I will e-mail you some of the recipes that I get from my support group.

Awesome idea! Keep us informed!

Keep those recipes comin!

How many recipes do you have and how many do you need? I've sent quite a few and probably can come up with more but I wasn't sure if I was sending too many! Just let me know if I am, thanks for all your hard work in putting this together!

Maybe a couple dozen so far, but there's no such thing as too many so bring em on!!

At this point I'm leaning toward just making it a PDF file and then emailing it to whomever wants it. Then you can just print it off / have it printed and let your local printer put a plastic binder on it. Saves on shipping cost, and less work for me.

The bigger the better!

Hi there,

I am new to the web site just came across the blog on the cook book. had a support group meeting last nite and I think a cookbook would be great. Surgery was in August 28, 2007 and weight loss to date is 69 pounds. more ideas for food would be great I struggle somethimes with different things to make.

Thanks,

Dream Big

I have been looking for recipes since I had my band put in on August 27th, 2007. I have lost 78 lbs. since, but I am getting bored of the things I eat and would like something new in my diet. I would, if you can, like to get a copy of the cookbook when you get finished.

I will even try to send some recipes that I have to you to add to the collection.

Thanks. :thumbup:

This is a great idea i have been compiling some on my own just off the reciepe area you should def. snag all those for this cook book some of them are really good and there is a TON of them....

It's a great idea. It would already have the portions figured out so that we aren't making something that we have to eat for a week, right?

Get the recipe for Protein pudding in there!

Think it's a great idea where can I send the money I will need atleast 4 copies.LOL 2 for me and 2 to lend to friends who never return my cookbooks .
