Bandster Cook book?

[Taz]

Can anyone recommend a good cookbook I can buy that is focused on bandsters? Something specific to good quality foods that are lapband safe. Would prefer if they also include calorie counts in the recipes.

Hi Taz. I ordered the two books below with a little review. I am ALWAYS looking for easier recipes as well.

Patt Levine and Michele Bontempo-Saray, “Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery”

LOVE IT! I am cooking challenged and found all the recipes doable and you don’t have to go out and find out of the way ingredients that I had to while I was doing South Beach or Atkins. Each recipe is broken down by serving guidelines for Lap-Band AND Bypass AND what week you are at with your meals.

The recipes are also broken down by servings, calories, protein, fat, carbs, cholesterol, fiber and sodium.

Margaret M. Furtado, “Recipes for Life After Weight-Loss Surgery”

More of a “Spa” style recipes. Hard to find ingredients. The recipes are broken down as above with weeks you are at your meals and nutritional value

Ya. I have looked at a lot of the recipes, and they sound delish. Problem is, many don't have calorie break down or list tips and tricks about preparing them for bandsters.

Sometimes I swear the delicious recipes I find here CAN'T be healthy to eat! Was looking for a bit more structure.
