Following my meet up with my dietician Rona on Saturday and her praise of my diet choices, I was asked about any good cook books that I could recommend. So here are some I purchased after my op to give fresh new inspiration. I’ve not really used them much, but I did give them a good once over before purchasing. A word of warning… Many books out there that boast that they are books supporting Bariatric surgery. They are not good. The recipes are very often low in protein and high in fat and calories. So be careful and mindful of your choices.

The following shows books that I ordered and was disappointed in and returned, usually as they were not good quality recipes. Please bear in mind that I have been cooking for over 40 years and the ones I bought are not the simplest books on the market. There are plenty out there for the beginner, and with less ingredients.

Here are a list of books I returned as they were no good for me. Many were too high in calories and low in protein etc.
