Great Books!

I have found a great couple of books that you all might like....one is called "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery" and it is written by Patt Levine and Michele Bontempo-Saray. Patt Levine is a writer and cook who had WLS in 2003. The book includes 140 delicious, low fat, high-protein recipes to enjoy in the weeks, months and years after surgery. It has good ideas and tips on stocking your pantry after surgery. The other book is "The High Protein Cookbook which has more than 150 healthy, good low-carb dishes than can be on the table in 30 minutes or less. Each entree has at least 30 grams of protein, less than 15 grams of carbs and under 500 calories. It is written by Linda West Eckhardt and Katherine West Defoyd. I ordered both off Amazon.com and they came in about 3 days. The books are !!! Barbara

I just got my book in ,, isn't it a wonderful book.. l can't wait to try some of these receipes they look so yummy.. l like the fact that it is devided up between different types of WLS's and for people who don't need dieting.. I still am waiting for Living with Lap Band Surgery,(l think this is the name l forget,, sorry..) but l ordered them both off of amazon.com ...

Thanks for the tip, I think I'll get them when I come back from surgery in 3 weeks.

I have "Eating Well After WLS" and I think it's great. I also like "Before and After" by Susan Maria Leach. She has some fabulous recipes in there, and on her website www.bariatriceating.com. You can get it on her website or at Amazon. I have not seen "The High Protein Cookbook." I will have to check it out. Thanks for posting these titles! Cathe

Hey Lucy...how you feeling girl???? Another good book as Cathe said is "Before & After" by Susan Maria Leach. It has some good recipes in there also. How's it feel on that loser's bench?!!!! Barbara

Well Barbara--you and I are "twins" we both go under on the 13th. Don't for get to check the recipes on this site. Check Dame Tooters profile, she seems to be a queen bee on here and has tons of recipes on her site. She is a great person to ask questions of--real straight shooter. MARCHing on bj
