I got my copy of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating well after WLS. It is a great resource for anyone who has had WLS or is contemplating WLS. It gives insight to all WLS options and the special nutritional guidelines that each procedure needs. It includes many great ideas and recipes for both WLS patients and those just wanting to eat healthier. This book included many support group websites and blogs. I would recommend this book to any new WLS patient or anyone considering WLS.

As a registered dietitian specializing in weight management, I received a review copy of this book. I was impressed with the book’s content and organization. Everyone will understand the nutritional importance of eating healthy after WLS after reading this book. People need tasty recipes and there’s something for every palette: margarita pizza, oven roasted chicken, and seared halibut with fennel. They didn’t forget the desserts either (my fave: fugdy brownies). They also include practical tips for understanding food labels and eating healthy at restaurants.

I was waiting for The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating Well After WLS to be released with great anticipation. I have read Ms. Furtado’s previous book and many articles she has written so I was anxious to read this book. This book exceeded my expectations. It is an excellent book. It is a superb resource for anyone considering weight loss surgery, support persons, pre-ops and post-ops alike. There is information for anyone at any stage of the weight loss surgery process. I am a post-op since 2001 and I find it invaluable personally and professionally. I conduct weight loss surgery trainings in my job and the information Ms. Furtado shares in her book is very complete.
I recommend this book highly.

I am just over one year since my Gastric Bypass surgery and had anxiously awaited the release of Margaret Furtado’s “Idiot” book. I was, by no means, disappointed. I found her book to be extremely helpful to me; however, I also feel that any person who is anticpating weight loss surgery would also benefit greatly from this book. The book is jam-packed with information and helpful hints on post-surgery eating, pitfalls, proteins, fluid intake, food labels, avoiding future weight gain and recipes. I feel what sets this book apart from others that I have read is the multitude of wonderful nutrition information! Much of the nutrition information applies not only Weight Loss Surgery patients, but to anyone who is concerned with nutrition and good health! It’s written in an easy-to-read format. This book is not simply “another recipe book”. I consider the recipes to be an “added bonus” in this informational, reference book.

While the nutritional information in this book is stellar, the recipes leave something to greatly be desired for all weight loss surgery patients: protein. Some of the recipes actually have as little as 2 grams of protein, which is simply not acceptable for a person who now has a tiny pouch to put food into, and gives the appearance of being “weight loss surgery friendly recipes” when in fact, with only 2g of protein, they are anything but. The recipes that are protein based are exceptional however, and one of my favorites being the Honey-Soy-Glazed Salmon (which is not at all glazed, but quite yummy).
The nutritional information, again, is stellar: from information about each surgery, the various macro-nutrients, vitamins and minerals, food labels, and information on success and weight regain, this book is exceptionally complete.
I would not buy this book for the recipes alone, but rather for the information in the first half of the book, which I have continually referenced back to.
