Bariatric Cooking

So this whole sleeve thing is like being a baby again - and thats such a perfect comparison.

2 weeks of liquids

2 weeks of puree

2 weeks of mushy

Normal food!!!!!!

Ok so i still havent quite got the difference between puree and mushy....as soon as i do figure it out, i shall share.  For now everything will be blitzed to within an inch of its life.

Ive been trawelling the net for recipes for those who are post op.  I ordered myself a book, 'Return To Slender'.  Its a cook book especially for those who have had bariatric surgery.  I had read some fantastic things about this book so was excited when i received it today.


The author intially speaks about bariatric surgery, basic foods to keep in stock etc.  This is really quite handy to read.  The part that kind of let the book down, was the lack of recipes - there just wasnt enough.  For £10, i wanted at least 10 recipes per section (liquids, purees, solids).    The website that accompanies this book is very good, and i think id probably visit the website more than read this book.
