Book Synopsis

A variety of tasty meals that are tailored for each stage of your post-operative eating plan from an expert doctor.

Weight-loss surgery is only the first step to maintaining a healthy weight. Post-surgery is when it is most important to maintain proper eating habits with the right balance of nutrients. Super Simple Recipes for Weight-Loss Surgery Recovery provides you with not only recipes that are delicious and specifically tailored to weight-loss surgery requirements, but meal plans and pantry lists as well.

You'll find mouthwatering mains like Zucchini Frittata with Capers and Olives and Sesame-Glazed Salmon. Seasonal recipes keep things interesting as well, with Lavender-Blueberry Muffins to make the most of summer berry picking and Fall Harvest Pumpkin Soup to welcome chillier weather.

Of course, all recipes include nutritional analysis and the meal plans are tailored to each post-op stage. In short, you'll find less overwhelm and more inspiration to cook through recovery!
