Weight Loss Surgery Books and Reference Materials
Great inforamtion! I love these forums and you good people. I didn't think I had any use for a recipe book yet and you've given me the excellent insight into how wrong I may be., Of course, a peek at the yummy recipes will curb the fears of NEVER being able to that again. Most excellent.
I agree wholeheartedly on the carbs. I can tell all kinds of difference in my health when I eat low carb-and I do. I have been using some of the no sugar added sweets and I have resolved to give them up (gradually). As long as I am having 'something sweet' I am always looking forward to it, working towards it, and at risk of over-doing it. And post-op I want to give myself the very best nutrition I can and them Russel Stover sugar-free chocolates ain't it! I know from experience that after a good while without any processed and simple sugars, a piece of fruit seems incredibly sweet. And an apple is real and good food. That is my goal now-to get to the point where I look forward to, and work towards, an apple. Treading
Funny story: I got those three cookbooks I mentioned. And since I'm still pre-op and my bypass mentor is at her one year post op anniversary, she borrowed my books before I even cooked anything from them. She'll figure out what is worth getting her own copy of and before I'm off the all liquids diet I'll get them back. :-)
