have you seen the book "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery: Over 140 Delicious Low-Fat High-Protein Recipes to Enjoy in the Weeks, Months and Years After Surgery" ? I got a copy from the library, but they also sell it on Amazon.com It is really good!!

that book Amelia is taking about is great, if you love to cook. The reciepes are way to complicated for me. I use my weight watchers cookbook. It works for me! As for your son, mine eats about anything that has chicken in it. There are some recipes in "weight loss for dummies" aslo. I havent tried them.

Hope you are feeling well!

Has anyone looked into the recipes in South Beach recipe books? I know their low carb and heart healthy (read low fat), so perhaps they'd be good for us. I haven't done my own research on it yet, but thought perhaps someone out there has.

I've got "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery" and "Recipes for Life After Weight Loss Surgery." Both are good because they tell you what and how much you can eat on every phase of your diet. I wish I had gotten them before I had the surgery, I'm six weeks out and I just got them from Amazon last week. They really help to add variety which was sorely missing before.

I also have the South Beach Diet Cookbook, and yes it does have good recipes that are appropriate for wls people.

I always cook for the family and don't appologize for making everything low-fat, no-sugar. I've had no complaints.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
