Does anyone have any good recommendation for a Bariatric Cookbook that actually has good tasting food in it?

There are quite a few low-carb cookbooks on the market, and that is what you want to look for. I also had one that I think was called Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery--or something similar. I seem to have misplaced it in my move from Cali to NM. Hope this helps.

I got to all types of cookbooks and make adjustments to the recipes to make them bariatric friendly. ie: I have a recipe for lasagna soup. I reduce a little of the liquid and eliminate the pasta. I alos make a Sheppards pie and instead of mashed potatoes I use mashed cauliflower.
Be creative!!

Here's an old group, recipe, spot: http://www.dailystrength.org/groups/wls-recipes
Just keep an eye on things. Some of them had quite a few carbs, but were pretty creative.
Also, I still use my Atkins and South Beach Diet cookbooks, great sources for low carb foods.
Basically, I keep it straightforward, get good ingredients, now that I need so little I can go for the good stuff, and treat them with respect, a la' Jacques Pepin and Julia Childs. Can't go wrong with that!
