Topic: Savory Ricotta Pie, OMG goood stuff
 I used fromage blanc instead of ricotta since I make my own cheese & had some to use up! I also only used a 9oz box of froz spinach, and salted my tomatoes.. this is sooo good. It will be on regular rotation after my surgery!!

I'm also looking for WLS friendly snacks, post work out snacks, ect.  I'm trying to get back on track as I've gained 25#'s from my medications I am on in the last 3-4 months.  Crazy!!!!! 

Any staples you buy to stock up on while on sale?

Did you start a recipe journal or anything of the sort?  Did you maybe bookmark pages of recipes you like?  My kids like flavorful meals.  We love white wine for cooking and Trader Joe's spices.  If there is anything you can recommend more specifically that would be great.

Topic: RE: Are there any WLS cook books?
 I agree... if you go to Amazon, there are several different choices.  I love to cook, so I have all of them!

I have a hungry (and very picky) fiance, and he's liked EVERYTHING I've made from Recipes for Life After Weight Loss Surgery by Margaret Furtado.  He always says, "make something from 'the blue book'!"  (It has a blue cover).  The recipes are simple to make and really, REALLY tasty.

Other favorites:  
Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery by Michele Bontmpo-Saray - the food is a little fancier than in Recipe for Life, but I've made a majority of the recipes and have liked most of them.

Extraordinary Taste by Shannon Owens-Malette - lots of simple recipes that can be on the table quickly.  Has a lot of good suggestions for snack food and food to bring to parties too.
