The High-Protein Bariatric Cookbook

More about the book

Discover high-protein recipes that will help you recover and thrive after weight-loss surgery and beyond. Gastric sleeve surgery is a brave undertaking that requires a specific diet to aid recovery. This comprehensive bariatric cookbook will help you through every stage of your post-op diet with expert advice, supportive tips, and delicious recipes. Learn why protein is a vital component in a post-bariatric diet, how to set up your post-op kitchen, what your diet will look like in the initial stages after surgery, and what it will look like after the first three months. The first three months after bariatric surgery will set the stage for your post-op healing. Helpful meal plans, timelines, and advice on what foods to avoid will help you successfully move through each phase, from clear liquids to eating a general diet again. You’ll find tasty, nutrient-packed options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Make a succulent vegetarian Tempeh-and-Parmesan Risotto, light and flavorful Salmon Cakes and Leafy Greens, hearty Beef and Butternut Squash Stew, and everything in between.
