??Gastric Bypass Cookbook??

Does anyone know if there is a such thing out there? Where is the best place to find recipes and such for everything from the 1st week after surgery to months out? Is there a book on protein recipes or anything as well? how about the puree foods? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Im trying to do ALL my research now so that once im approved, I can relax and rest because I will know that I am well prepared and hopefully will be stress free.
God Bless,
Alisa

Thanks to everyone with info!!!! Its greatly appreciated!!!!

I personally do not believe you need (if there even is one) a special cookbook. You'll do better learning as much as you can about real nutrition. My favorite website for that is www.nutritiondata.com. This provides all kinds of useful information plus has excellent visuals that show how each food meets specific nutritional goals. I also recommend going to your local library to find some books on nutrition, then going to Amazon.com and getting your own copy (often you can find used copies dirt cheap). I have a couple, now quite old but useful, that I've highlighted and tabbed for quick reference. Our nutritional needs are not really much different than any truly healthy eating plan. In the early months we need to concentrate a greater percentage of our calories on high quality protein, but we need other healthy foods too. 

If you think about eating cleaning and simply, you'll most easily meet your needs.  Simple broiled, grilled, baked or sauteed high quality protein, choosing low or non-fat dairy products, low glycemic vegetables and fruits will serve you best.  Learn about the great benefits of complex carbs from whole grains, beans and legumes. Every diet needs good fats every day too, and olive or canola oils and (limited) fats from nuts such as walnuts and almonds, and fatty fish such as salmon are good choices.

Just my opinion ....

THank you. I will def be checking into that as well. Im up for all suggestions and opinions.

Hi!  I have gotten lots of recipes from BariatricEating and love the recipes on Eggface's sight...search for her on here.  Her recipes are awesome.
I think I might have to order the cookbook MM mentioned.  I am always looking for new ways to keep it interesting.

Good luck to you,.
