I’m so excited about this cookbook! I’m just a few weeks away from scheduling my Bariatric surgery, and I’m really working toward finding tasty, Bariatric friendly, and—dare I say—clean foods to help make that transition successfully to a healthier me. I love the easy, varied recipes, including everything from vegetarian to sweet treats, all with a focus of meeting low-carb and high protein guidelines. Additionally, I love the post up portion sizes to help figure out how much I should be eating to keep from falling back into old habits. There is also a great section in the front with loads of tips and guidelines from the author, who works directly with bariatric patients every day. This definitely gets five stars and a place of honor on my bookshelf! My only complaint is that, apparently with all cookbooks these days, there are loads of recipes, but so few pictures! I want to cook with my eyes too, and cookbook writers should be fighting to fill those spaces with their amazing creations. I received a complementary copy of this book from the publisher, and was under no obligation to write a review.

I'm so enjoying this book.
I started with each of the recipes with photos, so far all delicious. By the way, Who would think Mashed Broccoli is so tasty? Hers is very delicious! I like how this author provides real information that's practical such as kitchen swaps but also doesn't only include recipes that are liquid or pureed! I am so happy this book includes all "phases" of eating so that it's easier to transition from the first to the last one. In my experience, so many weight loss surgery books focus too much on liquids and purees.
After all, as she says in the book, we need to learn to eat real food after our procedures. I loved the Chicken Tenders swap recipe.
The tone of the book is pleasant and the notes are informative.
I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially those of us preparing for or recovering from bariatric surgery.

Loved this book. Recipes are easy to follow (and only 5 ingredients) which is also great for new cooks. Nice flavors and interesting combinations. I appreciated the author’s chatty notes and positive tone.
The shakes are interesting and varied. Especially right after surgery when all we can have is liquid, these are a
Welcome addition to the diet.
I also really enjoyed the variety of “real food” choices made available in this book. I thought it was nice how the authors included almost all proteins! You’d be hard pressed not to find a recipe you’ll love.
Highly recommend!

I have not tried any of these yet but I like the variety of recipes from breakfast, sides, treats and dressings. I am most excited to try banana crepes when it comes to breakfast. I love vegetables and look forward to roasted carrots with herbed yogurt. I am however very weary of creamy mashed broccoli with nutmeg. I have never read in any cook book or seen any cooking shows that ever said anything like this book does about nutmeg's naturally woody and nutty flavors pairs well with many green vegetables.
