Healthy Eating for Bariatric Patients: A Complete Cookbook and Meal Plan

Shannon Judway: I like many of the recipes and how they are broken down to soft food, puree, or normal but many recipes include the use of protein powder which my bariatric clinic says not to rely on.

The worse thing is there is nutritional information provided but not what serving size those apply to!!

Tony: This book is interesting - my wife and I tried doing our meals this way for a few weeks. It does a good job of educating you on how to shop, then prepare everything you'll need to eat for the next 7 days. The good part of that is it takes away the stress of preparing food for the next 5-6 days. The down side is you give up the better part of a full day on the weekend to shop and prepare everything. Even with my wife and I both working in the kitchen together, its still a lot.
The recipes are good, pretty tasty.
There's not a lot of variety in there though. I would have liked to see a few more weeks of examples. Of course once you understand how to shop/prepare, you can add stuff from other books.
I liked it - but ultimately it was too much of a lifestyle change for my wife and I to spend half our weekend preparing food, so we went back to daily meals.
I still use some of the recipes though.

Janedoe: So all the recipes in this look great-minus the early stage liquids. Most of them result in a BUNCH of servings of a protein shake mixed with fruit or veggies or whatever else and you can't really store it or ever finish it while recovering from WLS. The meal plans were nice and simple, recipes easy to follow. My only other issue is a big one, the nutrition facts per serving DON'T say how much that serving IS!? Are they calculating based off a full, regular diet portion or the smaller soft diet portion (cuz they're often 2-3x smaller/larger)? You have no idea. I have another book that says nutrition facts for soft..xyz. nutrition for full...xyz. Just use the recipes once you're in regular diet stage.
