Post-surgical patients (both gastric bypass and band) are supposed to eat at least 60g of protein every day. So why are many of these recipes so skimpy on the protein? I expected more useable fare from a book that touts itself as “nourishing the new you”. As it stands, I will only use maybe a quarter of the recipes in this book — very disappointing. The High-Protein Cookbook is a much better selection, in my opinion.

It should have tipped me off when the picture on the front of the book was toast with berries. Many of these dishes might be okay for well after surgery, but there was nothing that worked well for the weeks after. Overall, the recipes were too high in carbohydrates, and just didn’t have enough protein. There are other cookbooks better designed for the specific needs that go along with this surgery.

The recipes are great, with great photos, also not just standard fare, but some items I wouldn’t have thought of. The Pita Pizza is really yummy. The information was great too, I like that it tells you at what stage you can eat which recipes. I found it gave me good things to look forward to. Loved this book!

This is a great book to help you build variety into your diet after weight loss surgery. For a while after weight loss surgery it seems that you are condemned to a life of bland food with no texture and this book effectively dispels that myth and provides you with great, tasty options.

The number of people who have undergone bariatric surgery is growing. Now this group has an excellent resource to help them overcome the monotony of post-op meal plans by adding variety and flavor to foods without causing discomfort after eating. The recipes stand out for their emphaisis on ethnic cuisines, attractive photographs and useful nutrition information, especially in the author’s notes on selected recipes. I’d also recommend this book to those considering gastric bypass surgery. The recipes encourage the home chef to address basic challenges such as modifying fats and controlling portions, all needed skills for making lasting lifestyle change.
