I only want to buy one, and there are several out there. Can anyone suggest a favorite? I do prefer simplistic, easily accessible ingredients. My surgery is in less than two months, and I want to try out some recipes on the family. :D

Might I suggest www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com?  Shelly has hundreds of recipes (you can search), that are ALL WL friendly - and delish!  I spent 2 hours in the kitchen yesterday cooking and frrezing lots of yummy things for the next two weeks - and all recipes came from her.  And plus, with a cook book you're always limited - Shelly adds stuff almost everyday!  Alos, there are TONS of recipes on this site too.

Good idea to try them on the Fam - get some input!

Are they free! If so, that is an excellent suggestion!  I have 500 cookbooks and most are tasty but have caloric and fatty recipes.  If I bring home ONE more recipe book, my bookshelf will collapse!

:)

Gotta love the internet! 

Absolutely FREE, wonderful, mostly easy, and WLS friendly - who could ask for me.  Shelly is on this website too - search for EggFace and you'll find her.  She's really good about offering advice!

I would look around online.  Any site with a search feature can be a source of new ideas.  Just search for low carb and explore :) 

Food network has an app called in the kitchen if you use apps.   You can save things you like and categorize them. 

The World According to Eggface is AWESOME, and so is Bariatric Foodie.  I also just google whatever I want to make "low carb crockpot turkey chili" and hundreds of results come back.  I do it on my iphone, take a screen shot, and then go to the grocery store with that "list" from the screenshot.  

I agree with the others. With all the wonderful free recipe sites out there, there is no reason to spend money on a book. You've gotten some great suggestions - you can also check out the Atkins website, you can narrow your search on Allrecipes.com by "low carb", or simply do a search for "low carb recipes". There's TONS of great stuff for free!

Eating Well after Weight Loss surgery is a mazing cook book. Breaks it all down for what surgery you have had. And yes Eggface's recipes are awesome.

I broke down and started using Pintrest. It has all sorst of search features, and then I can catagorize teh recipes. I started by putting different recipes into boards based on the phase I am in. Right now I am working off of the Pureed/soft phase. I'll transition to the easy phase next week, followed by the normal phase. Ihave not been a big fan of pintrest, but this seems to work really well for me. Also, if you see a recipe online, you can pin it yourself so again you have an organized repository for recipes. 

PS - As I make the recipe, I take care to add it to myfittnesspal so I always have the nutrician facts if I want to make it again. 

Eggface=YES.  Eating Well After Surgery=Can't wait to start with it.  But the most practical on I got (my sister gave me EWAS and this for Christmas) was Recipes For Weight Loss Surgery Success.  It was the most useful to me immediately after surgery.  I wanted to eat all the beautiful stuff in EWAS, but I didn't have the energy. RFWLSS had simple but interesting recipes for getting through the first few stages without wanting to scream your head off from boredom.  I especially recommend the Salmon Dill Spread and the Seafood Salad.
