As a lifelong foodie, she was expecting the worst when her surgeon&#8217;s nutritionist handed her dietary guidelines to follow post-surgery, and she was right. With her decades of cooking skills, she immediately set out to devise low-fat dishes that would be just as delicious pureed and chopped as they would be served whole. As an added problem, she wanted to cook for her husband at the same time. This first-ever cookbook for the hundreds of thousands who are lining up for bariatric bypass surgery is proof that it can be done. With collaborator Michele Bontempo-Saray, the author has created 125 recipes that contain no added sugar, are very low in fat, and get their carbohydrates almost exclusively from fruits and vegetables. Each recipe includes specific guidelines for preparation of the dish for every stage of the eating programs for Lap-Band, gastric bypass, and Biliopancreatric Diversion Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS) patients, as well as suggestions for sharing meals with those who have not gone through gastric surgery. Creative recipes cover every meal and food&#8212;breakfast and brunch, soups, vegetables, main courses, and sweet indulgences.</div> 99848 1 7 2004 Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery: Over 140 Delicious Low-Fat, High-Protein Recipes to Enjoy in the Weeks, Months and Years after Surgery total:6|5:1|4:3|3:2| 6 23 7 0 3 0 false false Sat Feb 21 20:51:04 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 21 20:51:04 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jan 19 14:34:49 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 14:34:49 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jan 19 12:23:57 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 12:23:57 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Feb 15 14:33:38 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 15 14:33:38 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Fri Dec 14 05:46:29 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 14 05:46:29 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Fri Sep 07 15:18:26 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 07 15:18:26 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Fri Jul 06 11:17:01 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 06 11:17:01 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=103560
