Culinary Classics: Essentials of Cooking for the Gastric Bypass Patient

David Fouts is an extraordinarily talented chef, and he proves it with these delicious, easy-to-make recipes. Because these recipes are so wonderful, bariatric patients will find themselves thanking the day they had gastric-bypass surgery. Who knew the best food came after gastric-bypass surgery? The Bariatric Chef knew, that's who. And now you do too!

This cook book is just what my doctor ordered! Low carb high protein dishes that actually taste amazing. Finally, a real cookbook for gastric bypass patients. I received my cookbook about a month ago and the recipes where not only great tasting but ingredient where easy to find (not like another book I just purchased). Chef David when is the next book coming out!!! You are the World's First Bariatric chef and this Cookbook is proof why!!!!!

I didn't know exactly what to expect when I ordered this cookbook, but I have been elated with each recipe. I had no variety in my food for so long, that I was just eating to get it over with - which also led to some bad food choices. I started cooking again and, oh my, what wonderful flavors. I have had no problems digesting any of the foods and the recipes I've made have had the protein my physician wanted me to have (without the carbs) have been extremely easy to make. It's wonderful to have someone who has had this surgery create such a gift for those of us who never really learned how to cook!

This book is fantastic! I ordered it for myself as a post-op gastric bypass patient. However, the whole family has reaped the benefits. The recipes are perfect for my parents who are following a low carb high protein diet and for my son who has Type 1 Diabetes. I am hoping one day he will do a dessert cookbook for those of us who are at goal weight!!

David Fouts is an imaginative, inventive chef and it's a blessing to have many of his recipes compiled in one book. I have attended many of his cooking demonstrations and everything has been delicious and tender. As a former bariatric patient, it's important to find tasty, easy recipes that keep protein moist and tender, and David manages to do that with each recipe. This book would be great for those on the Adkins program as well. I highly recommend it.
