Looking for links
I saw that Karen posted 2 links recently for eating tips. This got me thinking that it would be helpful to know where everyone likes to go on the Internet and why ( bariatric related of course). There are a ton of sites out there but which ones are the best? Please take a few minutes and post your links to this thread so that we all can share in each others knowledge and experience.
Thanks

Good topic.
Bariatriceating.com is a great one for recipes
I also use recipezaar.com and foodtv.com alot of recipes and inspiration
netrition.com and vitacost.com are both great sites for WLS friendly products I order maltitol and Rock-n-Roll bars from netrition among other things and it is next day delivery (they are in Lancaster area somewhere)
Fitday.com for meal tracking
Oh and I've heard of a lot of people using vitalady.com for vitamins / supplements although personally I don't.
Can't wait to see everyone else's links!

I use this one obviously (sometimes way too much), the World According to Eggface (recipes) and for vitamins and what I have found to be pretty good but expensive protein powder, www.bariatricfusion.com.
Great idea for a thread, I'll be checking out everyone else's sites too.

Thanks for the links guys! I have checked most of them out and they all seem very helpful. It just helps so much to know where to go to find the stuff you need. Its like getting a good reference for car mechanic or contractor. If it works for you guys it should work for me and others who are new to the scene.
Thanks again!
Swede
