Band recipe ideas

[lolalou]

Hi all, there may well already be a thread for this but I couldn't find it, my op is tomorrow and I'd love some ideas for what to eat from 2-4 weeks then nice ideas for 4 weeks plus if you have any. I read the thread for bypass recipes that was great, but think their diet might differ slightly to a banders. I'm worried if I get bored afterwards I will stray so the more recipes/ideas the better Ill put mine on too. I saw one on the bypass thread of using a slice of ham and putting veg etc in and rolling up like a tortilla because we shouldn't have bread. I love that idea.
Thanks

Hi there is indeed, in the banders section - see link below. I will move your thread into that section.

Ooh great thanks, I think it's easier to use my laptop rather than my phone when searching. Best not read it until next week because I'm ravenous right now! X

Hi Lolalou, I have bought a book called Return to Slender after weight-loss surgery. It is written by food writer Carol Bowen Ball (who has undergone bypass surgery herself).

The book is available from either Amazon or her website www.bariartriccookery.com I think it is £12.99 from memory. Victoria x

Thanks I'm feeling nervous but very positive about it all, and 150% sure I have done the right thing. There is a brewers fare next to the hotel and I could easily go in and eat a three course meal and a few ciders, when you think how many calories and grams fat etc that would be it just goes to show why I am here :-/ definitely right for me to stop me binging. Thanks for everyone's support x
