Cookbook

[wobbles]

I think it would be a good idea for someone to write a cookbook with recipes and meal ideas for people who are post op bypass and band patients.

I'm concerned about what i'm going to eat after the op, and am worried i'll do something wrong. I'd like to have a cookbook that i can take stuff from and plam out my daily meals so i am not sitting in front of the fridge wondering what to have, and ending up making bad decisions.

Does anyone else agree?

Hi Erin,

There are cookbooks you an buy for Band/Bypass meal ideas.
One is called Culinary Classics:Essentials of Cooking for the Gastric Bypass Patient

They are available on Amazon!
Love
Gina!

If you search my thread for books, you'll see I bought 2 of amazon and sent them straight back! They were both american and so half the ingredients were completely alien to me, and I really couldn't be doing with translating cups into english

Go back to old fashioned cooking from scratch is the best way, that way you know exactly whats in things and it's easy to substitute the bad stuff. I'll start putting some recipes on here if that would help.

Hi Shel, Can i ask what books you had bought?

I think it's a good idea to put a recipe section on this forum so that people can post their faves and add ones and stuff like that.
