What Customers Say About Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery: Over 140 Delicious Low-Fat High-Protein Recipes to Enjoy in the Weeks, Months and Years After Surgery:

terrific idea to help keep bypass patients eating healthy delicious meals. Bravo to the author

The recipes are mainly for 4 servings and that makes it easy to divvy up my portions and the ones for my husband so that we can have dinner for one night and use our leftovers for lunch the next day. (I recommend getting them before the actual surgery and go shopping for the stuff pre-surgery to have on hand afterward). I purchased several WLS cookbooks at the same time. I haven't tried one recipe that I didn't like. This was the best of the three. The recipes are simple and good and the breakdowns for the different types of WLS and the applicable serving sizes are helpful. She does like the mushrooms though. Unfortunately, my husband hates them, so I take them out and try to add them just to my portions, if I can.

This book is good, it gives your imagination a boost even before you cook. After my surgery I thought I'd have to eat cardboard, tasteless foods forever, or just water. This book opens up so many options you feel free.

I have three recipe books and this one is the best one. My husband loves the recipies as he is a fit man that works out a lot and my son also enjoys the simplicty on the dishes I make.The recipies are quick and easy and delicious. I also like the fact that each recipe also lists the nutritonal info as the other two boks I got do not do this.

My wife and I like this cookbook a great deal. At a time when virtually everything she likes was off the menu, this supplied some very practical menus and some insights on how to utilize spices and alternative ingredients to make dishes that are compliant with guidelines but taste good.
