Synopsis:

Learn how to eat right after weight loss surgery! More and more obese people are turning to stomach stapling as a way to finally lose weight for good, improve their health, and live longer. But it's not that simple. Once the surgery is over, there is a lifelong maintenance programme to ensure not only that you keep the weight off, but that your body gets the right balance of nutrients. When you can only eat as much food as you can hold in your hand at a sitting, it's critical that you are eating the right foods. Most gastric bypass patients have spent their lives indulging in vast quantities of the wrong foods - which is how they ended up on the operating table in the first place - and need to be taught how to eat healthy for the rest of their lives. This cookbook offers 200 recipes tailored to the needs of the gastric bypass patient - low-fat, high-protein, nutrient-dense dishes.
