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 gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
