 best WLS cookbook out on the market! May 21, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
First off I want to say that anyone could make these recipes! There are some reviews on here about how most people wouldn't have these ingredients in their cupboard, the only way that would be true is if you are a backwoods hick who only uses Mrs. Dash!! This cook book is full of common healthy ingredients! It is wonderful! It has a nice gourmet twist to it, but like I said is not to difficult! I really like how it breaks down all the options for the different WLS. The writer of the book had Lap-Band done herself. I totally recommend this book! Although if you are used to having fried fish sticks as seafood, you might not have an open enough mind. Although there are American adapted dishes such as pot roast and beef stroganoff, most of these recipes are somewhat exotic or European. All very good, A++ review, everyone who has had WLS should get this book, even if your just over weight and are on a high protein diet, this is a wonderful cookbook!
A Great Resource April 22, 2008

I'm a lap-band patient and a picky eater, two things which are not necessarily the best combination. I picked this book up a week after surgery, when I was desperate to at least read about food that wasn't protein shakes or Jell-O. It was much to my surprise that I found an easy dozen recipes on the first pass that sounded as though I'd enjoy them.
Only a dozen? Well, yes. When I say 'picky eater', I mean 'picky eater'; it's not a slight on the book. Entire swathes of it I ignored, but what remained was a good selection. I've made about half a dozen of the recipes thus far and had no disappointments.
The ingredient list is occasionally what might be considered more 'gourmet' but is generally accessible. (And by 'accessible', I mean 'available in central Wisconsin', which is hardly a haven for unusual ingredients.) Thus far, I've only had one recipe call for something I didn't have and couldn't get locally.
Perhaps the thing that makes me love this book the most is the nutritional information provided for each recipe; it's marvelous to know that I'm getting 31.41g of protein out of a meal. The serving guidelines for each stage after surgery are also handy, but should be followed with some amount of caution, as they don't necessarily jive with every surgeon's recommendations.
Although I'm a WLS patient, the rest of my family isn't, and it's great to still be able to serve them tasty food that doesn't usually require much time or culinary expertise. For the price, it's hard to go wrong with this book.
 I know how to make an omelet March 10, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was hoping for a cookbook with basic, down-to-earth recipes on how to adapt everyday dishes for the post-surgical patient. This wasn't it. The recipes are either very rudimentary (I know how to make an omelet) or party-like dishes. Very disappointing.

This book is a good resource for those who have time and money to fix more 'fancy' meals after surgery. I found only a few recipes that I would use.
low fat and high protein just like it said February 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this for my sis in law after the gastric bypass. I have made a couple of the recipies from it and they are delicious. They are extremely low fat and high in protein. The recipies are simple and quick to make. I would recommend this book to everyone.
