Cookbooks for post-surgery

jomamacita7

Does anyone know of good cookbooks for after gastric-bypass surgery? I'm looking for simple recipes that don't require many ingredients and don't cost a lot of money. Any help with this is much appreciated!

Skip the cookbooks. I find tons of great ideas online for free. search for blogs and recipe groups on facebook and WLS forums.

Here is one of my favorite blogs I've been getting ideas from.

Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery. It's not expensive - less than 15 dollars and has easy to make recipes with instructions on how to prepare for all the major WLS surgeries in the various post-surgery phases and also prep for non-WLS people.

Yeah, I don't find cookbooks particularly helpful when you have resources online.

What my wife (she had RNY as well) do is is Pintrest as essentially an online cookbook. She has boards setup based on type of food (mexican, italian, indian, etc) and we have one board for new ideas, and a separate one for our meals for the week. We share her pintrest account in regard to the food stuff.

I'll list our favorite sites:

Eggface - Used to really like this one, now that we are eating "normally" we don't use it nearly as much.

SkinnyTaste - Our ABSOLUTE favorite site. Out of the ones we've cooked from her, she's never done us wrong.
Iowa Girl Eats - Again, never done us wrong. She's newly gluten free, so she uses quinoa ALOT. Which we like!.

Beyond these two, I get daily emails from AllRecipes and save them in folder in my email. I've got like 3 years worth I could go back through and search. Really there are tons of sites out there, and many of them you simply have to filter through. We ignore any pasta or bread based dishes, but beyond that, we don't limit ourselves.
