Rediscover the pleasure of food after weight-loss surgery

Weight loss surgery doesn't have to mean giving up your favorite recipes for good. This up-to-date bariatric cookbook puts a surgery-safe twist on foods with 100+ healthy, comforting recipes that are simple enough to make every day, so you can sustain your long-term weight-loss and health goals.
