Question:
Any good recipes, high protein, low carb???

Hello - I am running out of new recipes and getting bored with the same old, same old. I'm having a hard time finding really good recipes. Thank you.    — bzymomjamie (posted on February 28, 2008)

I bought two cookbooks: Recipe for Life After Weight Loss Surgery and Eating Well after Weight Loss Surgery. They both have some good ideas. I've made about three things so far from each, and for the most part, they were really good.

Hi LOL I've bought the same two books. They give you alot of different ideas. Check amazon.com they do have others. Actually the book Recipes for Life after Weight loss surgery is written by a nutritionist from New England Medical Center (NEMC) in Boston, MA who also had the RNY. Best of Luck

Oh do I!!!! Michelle is an OH Staff member. She is an awesome cook and takes regular foods and makes them carb friendly and full of protein! (I'm her biggest fan) So tell her Anita sent you if you write to her about her recipes. She posts them all to the public as a service to us...But do tell her if you like a recipe...I always do! She's also a WLS success! So she's one of us! :) Her web site/profile is beautiful and she takes photos of the steps and what the food looks like so you have a really amazing experience with her recipes and you can talk to her! Or ask her questions! She's just amazing! Love this woman! http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

I also have found good old Weight Watchers cook books to be great for recipes. Plus, they portion everything out for you. Good luck to you.

Amazon must really be pushing those two books because that is what I bought as well. I also got some good ideas. My family likes what I have fixed from these two. I am sure they have others. I don't know a souce that is good on the web. I searched but did not find much.

Hi there - I was in the same boat at about 3 yrs post op until i discovered Allrecipes.com. Almost every recipe can be made for your pouch-well except the really gooey desserts, but heck, even those can be made if you have a great imagination and the time to play. All my meals now comes from that site, except my isopure chocoloate protein stuff, which i still have 2 times a day with the chocolate hood carb countdown milk. Even that can be put into some of the desserts and tastes great. Give the website a try, you may enjoy cooking again and anticipating some great different foods. Good luck Cindi 3.24.04 - 230 lbs and maintaining the loss :)

I just learned to cook with alot of spices! Olive oil, garlic, peppers, onions and just experiment. I cook alot of chicken breast. I was getting tired of the same old too. add the spices etc and dont be afraid to use them.
