My Favorite Things After Surgery
Feb 21, 2012
I wanted to share a few things I have found so far that helped with post-op nutrition and exercise.High Protein Foods:
I was fortunate that my surgeon's bariatric program had foods and vitamins from these sites available at the clinic (check with your doctor as needed):

~my review of this book on Amazon~
"Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery is MUST-HAVE for post-op nutrition! I had gastric bypass recently and not only does this book have easy and delicious recipes, but also a wealth of helpful advice, hints, and tricks for eating in this new lifestyle! After trying many others like this, I found too many focused on the word "diet" instead of the healthy lifestyle change that really occurs with bariatric surgery, and many others had hard to find ingredients for strange recipes. This book was written by a woman who had one of the weight-loss surgeries and can offer first-hand knowledge of what to come in nutrition post-op, with all info advised by a registered dietician. No need to shop around like I did - this book is all you need!"
