Cookbooks??

Does anyone know of any Gastric Bypass friendly cookbooks or recipes?  I guess I am not sure what I want to look for in a cookbook....like low carb, low sugar ... maybe diabetic?  If anyone could give me ideas that would be great :)   Thanks  Gina

Dear Gina: Low carb is a good way to go.  Here is a site:  http://www.lowcarbcooking.org/index.php I also get a lot of great recipes from Bariatric Eating.com  http://www.beforeandafterchat.com/ Another favorite site is www.recipezaar.com.  You can type in "low carb" or "sugar-free" in the seach engine and come up with all kinds of things. I just copy and paste whatever sounds good and have almost made my own cookbook. If there is something particular that you are looking for, just ask, maybe I have it!

Oh.....and on the Bariatric Eating.com site......... Don't worry too much about the things that are "available on this site".  I have found many suitable substitutions at the local grocery store.   Although I HAVE ordered some stuff from them and like there service and prices, it is NOT necessary.

Hey Gina.. Check your local library.  Great way to see if you want the book before you actually buy it. Christina

Gina, the only book I know of (and I am sure there are many more but just have not looked for them) is "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery". I got it on Amazon.com. I like to go on www.sparkpeople.com they have recipes that you can adapt to your WLS lifestyle, exercise info and you can enter in your recipes and it will give you a breakdown of the nutrition. I learned about this later site on the main board of OH. I signed up for some of the daily e-mails. Chris
