Wanting to put together a family friedly cookbook for WLS

Hey everyone, I have a 10, 7 and 1 year old.  My biggest problem has been finding family friendly recipes and snack ideas.  I am in the process of putting together a cookbook for other WLS patients and was looking for some new ideas.  Let me know if you have a recipe or snack idea.  Thanks!!!!  Monica   [email protected]

 

Great idea Monica!  Oddly, today I was speaking with a g/f at work who had RNY about 1 1/2 years ago.  She has lost 160 lbs and is constantly losing.  She brought a Caramel Apple Salad to the family reunion this past weekend.  It was a huge hit she said. 

It consists of:

1 drained can of crushed pineapple (didn't hear her say sugar free, so I assume it wasn't)
2 boxes of sugar free butterscotch pudding (prepared with skim or 1% milk)
1 tub of sugar free Cool Whip
diced apples
 
**Not sure how many it serves or any nutritional info....

Thanks again for such a great idea!

oh my goodness, that sounds sooooo good!  I am so going to try this soon.

You'll have to let me know how it is.  I am here alone, so have no one to test it on...lol

Ohh a cookbook...what a great idea!  I'm terrible in the variety dept. so this would help  A LOT! Cheri, that recipe sounds YUM! 

It does!!!!  I'd like to try it right now...LOL  I torched my steak and couldn't salvage most of it...LOL

Wow Cheri,  LOL you can have steak?  I was told (by nutritionist)  that I probably wouldn't be able to eat any beef!  that has been a bit of a grieving process for me lol  Not that I love stake but I do like beef every now and then!  

Sure!  I can say I've had many steaks and even a few meatballs over the last month!  I haven't had any issues at all!  Small pieces and chew!  That's the key!

Great Idea.  I was just thinking I wish I had some kind of cookbook to go thru.

Hello.  My name is Gerri and I am waiting for my date for lap band surgery.   All my tests have been completed. I am curious to know if you had to go on clear liquids the week before your surgery.  My surgeon does not require this.
