Although most of the recipes are delicious, some call for ingredients just not available in our area. All in all was worth the purchase.

Margaret Furtado is spot on with this comprehensive book for people who are intent on giving themselves the proper nutrition after weight loss surgery. The recipes taste great, are easy to make and healthy. Margaret Furtado is truly a leading expert in this relatively new field of post weight loss surgery nutrition. Her background in working with the nation's leading weight loss programs gives her a great edge when providing instruction and creative ideas. Her suggestions are practical - anyone who has had weight loss surgery should have this important reference handy.

The information and recipes seem to be useful. I will try a few later on. Much of the other information contained in the book was given to me pre and post-surgery by my doctors. I was hoping the book would be more organized into what could be eaten weekly as you progress from purely liquid to more solid foods. Overall it is a useful book.

This book has been such a wealth of information for me. I had gastric bypass surgery about six weeks ago and had been given so much information prior to the surgery, that I was getting confused. I purchased this book and it answered all my questions and concerns. It was written by a doctor who performs the different weight loss surgeries and has everything you need to know including wonderful recipes for the stages of recovery. I highly recommend purchasing this book and making these delicious recipes.

My mother and I both had weight loss surgery. This cook book was not only easy but do-able. The ingrediants weren't crazy like most other cook books...like you need a half of a teaspoon of brazilian nutmeg that you can only find at a health food store. No...all the ingrediant you can find at your local grocery. It was very informative and provided you with the nutritional breakdown to include your protein count which is very important to track after surgery.

This book showed me just what wonderful types of foods I could enjoy after my surgery. It gave a new focus on how to prepare foods in a way that was appitizing and tasteful. Ckkoing with less fat and sugars can be a challange, but this book makes it all easy. Foods doesn't have to be boring and tasteless, there are many ways to spice up a meal without resorting to fats and sugars. The cookbook is great, and worth every penny I spent.

I love this cook book. It has lots of great information about eating well after surgery as well as good recipes. I like that it tells you what stage of diet you should be at (puree, soft etc.) before attempting to eat the dish. It also has some very nice pictures of the recipes. Best part is the nutritional breakdown per serving so it is easy to track protein etc. The serving sizes are also realistic for post surgery.

Excellent book. Everything you need to change your life

Read this and found that the recipes on line are far better. This seems very Americanised. Wouldn't bother buying if you have internet access.

Boring

Great healthy ideas

This is an excellent book to be used post-surgery. It has a good variety of recipes designed with the bariatric surgery patient in mind. It also has good information of a general nature re the diet to be followed by post-surgery patients and why. An excellent resource as well as an inspiration for those of you who are stuck in a rut, unsure what to make now.
