The Bariatric Foodie Holiday Survival Guide Paperback – October 17, 2013

A new twist on old recipes made to eat for everyone not just bariatric patients

I'm a 2001 weight loss surgery post-op. I'm always looking for healthy recipes that are delicious and satisfying. I also value good, solid information and motivation. Nikki of Bariatric Foodie provides all of this on her blog and in this book. I've already tried multiple recipes in this book and each one is fantastic. I have a very picky son as to what he likes. To me, the true test is that he has liked every single one that I've made! Whether you've had weight loss surgery or looking for healthy, fabulous recipes, buy this book! You'll be glad you have it!

UPDATE 4 Dec 13: After struggling a lot over Thanksgiving (with leftovers...sigh) I picked up this book again and read thru it more completely. It was a big help! And there ARE some new recipies and updated ones too, I hadn't realized. So, I AM recommending the book!LOVE Nikki's blog, but this book is not worth it. IF you really have no idea how to face the holidays after bariatric surgery then it would be helpful. But if, like me, your doc has a fantastic support group that prepares us all, and we turn to each other as well, then it's a waste of money. All the receipes are already on her blog.

Concise and informative regarding handling ourselves around friends and family's during the holidays. Loved the recipe suggestions, substitutions, and substitute sugar conversions. The info regarding where to purchase retain items I was not familiar with was invaluable. Only wish they could have included what a portion size is, although we probably already know what that is. I just find it helpful to keep on track to know exactly what a portion size is for gastric bypass.. Will be recommending this in my Support group.

Really tasty looking recipes and helpful tips for getting through the holidays post surgery. I will definitely be referring back and probably using the recipes before then!

Has some great recipes.. Will be trying a couple just wish there was more variety.. Will be waiting on the next book..

Excellent guide written in a straight forward and funny way! Tons of helpful tips from what to say to people who ask about your weight loss to what your food should look, smell or taste like. Explains also how to adapt the recipes to the products you use and how to tweak them. Thanks Nikki!

I got the Kindle edition yesterday and I am making a list of the dishes I will make for Thanksgiving. There are so many great ones to choose from and I can't wait to get started. Everyone who is looking to eat well and healthy needs to get this book.

Great info!

OK some good recipes
