{Book Review} The Gastric Sleeve Bariatric Cookbook by Sarah Kent #cookbook #gastriccookbook


Hey everyone!

I am so excited to show you all this great product. All information is located below along with links to the product and, of course, my review. So, let's get into it.

Bariatric Cookbook


The Gastric Sleeve Bariatric Cookbook is the first complete meal plan and cookbook uniquely designed to fuel your body and satisfy your tastebuds after VSG.

A commitment to nutrition is the key to success after having a vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG). During your first 8 weeks post-op, meal planning is essential to make sure you get the nutrition you need. In The Gastric Sleeve Bariatric Cookbook, Sarah Kent—author of the bestselling Fresh Start Bariatric Cookbook—delivers effective meal plans and recipes specifically tailored for your new lifestyle after VSG.

Unlike any other bariatric cookbook on the market, The Gastric Sleeve Bariatric Cookbook approaches your new diet with immediate and long-term dietary needs in mind, to help you get healthier—not just thinner. In the pages of The Gastric Sleeve Bariatric Cookbook you’ll find:

  • 8 weeks of easy meal plans for each of the 4 post-op dietary stages (full liquid, pureed foods, soft foods, general diet)
  • Over 95 protein-packed recipes—many of which yield leftovers for meals later in the week
  • Post-op recipe icons that let you know at which stages you can eat each recipe, providing specific portion information as well

Knowing what, when, and how much to eat after VSG doesn’t have to be stressful. The Gastric Sleeve Bariatric Cookbook makes it easy, healthy, and simply delicious to eat well after surgery and beyond.

My Thoughts

I am preparing to have gastric sleeve surgery by the end of the year so I am looking for alternatives and different ways of eating and what to eat after surgery. While I am making changes now and have been, I know that more changes are to come. This is the first cookbook of this kind that I have had a chance to look at and so far I am very impressed.

This isn't just a cook book but actually packed full of great tips for eating after gastric sleeve and what foods you should totally toss and what foods you can have in their place. For example, toss the processed cheeses and instead have natural cheeses such as cheddar and feta. I love this because that means I can change my favorite foods to fit my new lifestyle.

What I love the most is it goes through what to expect before and even after surgery. It goes step by step in what to eat and the textures of food in which you can begin to add back to your diet after surgery. This is something that when having gastric surgery you need to have and have to go by, so it's great that is included.

It's truly packed with so much great information that I can't even explain it all. It's also put together very well. I can tell a lot of thought and consideration went into the book so that people could understand the information and understand what to do before and after surgery. I know, for me, this is going to be my go to guide from now on.

Now, let's get into the recipes because we know that's what really matters. lol The recipes are wonderful. I love the layout of them and how detailed they are. They make sure you know exactly what you need to go in them, how to make it and then how many fat, calories, etc is going into your body. Each recipe also has serving tips which are great because they explain different things you can do to change the recipes up a bit, which totally come in handy.

The very best part though, about this cookbook, the fact that it's all written in a positive "you can do this" vibe and tone. It's full of encouragement and let's you know that if you mess up, it's totally okay, just shake it off and pick it right up where you left off. Love that.

My Thoughts

Okay, so I am going to be completely honest, I love some good temp tattoos. Why? Why not! They let you try out different styles and looks while letting you change them up anytime you want. I also love using them to see what kind of styles I like for when I do decide to get a real tattoo.

These tattoos are great. They come in a variety of styles and sizes so you can try out as few or as many as you want, any where on your body you want.

The only con I have with these are on the compass ones. The letters for the directions are printed correctly instead of being inverted. So, when you put them on your skin the letters are backwards. It was a simple fix though. I simply cut off the letters and just used the tattoo without the letters and I actually liked it better.

Other than the one con, these temp tattoos are great. You get a good amount in the package for the price and they are all in black and white so they look great on and not fake. Nice temp tattoos.

My Thoughts

I've been looking and shopping around for a fitness tracker for a while now because I wanted a good one but didn't want to break the bank in the process. That's when I came across this one. It looked to have everything I wanted and it was a nice size too. So, I decided to give this tracker a go. Boy have I been surprised by how great this fitness tracker has been.

First, I have a larger wrist than most people and it's hard to find bands large enough but this tracker fit my wrist right out of the package. It also came with a blue band of the same size, so I can switch colors when I want.

Second, it's so easy to use and understand. It's just like your smart phone, so with a swipe of a finger you can find out how many steps you've taken or how many calories you've burned. It works great as a timer as well so I can time how many reps I'm doing during my workout. Best of all I can monitor my heart rate when I'm walking, working out, or just relaxing.

Im also loving how great the app works with this tracker and how easy it is too keep track of everything so I can give it to my doctor each month. That's been the best thing so far.

Im really happy with this tracker and how well it has been working for the last few weeks. Also, glad that I didn't have to shell out the price of a Fitbit for something that does the same stuff. Love it.
