Go to your local library. I know theres something like "Weightloss Surgery For Dummies" or do like I do, find WLS friendly recipes online. I've copied & pasted several from here and other sites (credit given to sites) of recipes I'd like to try on www.food.com . I'm in the same boat as you are, I am not making 2 different meals. I had enough of that right after surgery. So make the family my little testers right with me. And if you do a search "Weightloss Friendly Recipes" a ton of stuff comes up. Good luck!

I have no clue where to look for WLS friendly cook books and was hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.  I would like something that has many TASTY recipes so my family can enjoy them as well and I'm not cooking 2 different meals each day.

Recommendations needed, PLEASE!

Thanks.

YUM! Works for me, thanks for posting the recipe.

Thank you Colleen... The only reason I don't put the nutritional info is because the portion sizes would vary so much from person to person.

I'm glad you all like the site.   :)

My fly by the seat of your pants Crock Pot Easy Cabbage Roll Casserole.   

it was a bit bland so i think next time i might try mom's secret... a pack of onion soup mix in with the meat instead of the garlic/salt/pepper.

Ingredients:
1-2  pound extra lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
about 3 cups tomato sauce, no sugar added
about a cup of V8 juice, low sodium
1 can tomato soup
1/2 - 3/4  cup uncooked minute rice
1 small head cabbage, chopped

Directions:
In large skillet, combine beef, onion, garlic and salt and pepper.
Coo****il browned. Drain excess fat. Mix in the rice and tomato sauce.

Layer 1/2 meat and then 1/2 cabbage in cooker, Top with remaining meat and then the cabbage.  Pour tomato soup over all and mix a bit. Add the V8 in too for a bit more moisture.


Mix well.  Cook on high for 2 hours then on low for about 3-4 hours.
