| LBT Official Cookbook?
Here's an idea I've been throwing around in my head.
What if we all contributed our favorite recipes, and then I typed them up into a cookbook. Then I could have them printed and bound and we'd each have one (you'd just pay the cost of printing/binding/shipping, I'm not out to make money, just compile your recipes  ).
I've done this with a couple of my other internet groups, and I ADORE those books! It's great to have a book with recipes that you know people have tried and enjoyed, not just crap people made up to fill a book, kwim?
They wouldn't be anything fancy by any stretch of the imagination, just your typical fundraiser cookbooks, paper with a plastic binding.
If there's enough interest, I'll start another thread with the details. If not, I'll go back to my cave.  |

I did some poking around yesterday, and I think we can get them printed for under $5 each. As long as we order 200. | |

That's a neat idea....just don't know though. I eat regular foods, even out of regular cookbooks. I just have to be mindful of things I can't tolerate.
If there was a cookbook for Lap Band, I'd pick it up for sure, just out of curiosity.

Wow, what a terrific idea! My house-husband was just saying today how hard it is to choose what to make for dinner for me!
Love, it--count me in!!

Eating banded to me, is eating just like I did before (when it comes to cooking recipes), but in way smaller portions. Some online recipe places let you place in a custom serving size and it adjusts all the measurements accordingly.

I think this would be a great idea!! I know that I do cook regular things too, but to have an option to see what other heathly ways people cook things or idea's they have tried. For example I don't like Bell Peppers ( I know strange) so I always substitute with Aspraghas or other vegies.
Count me in.

Well, lets do this!
You all start sending me recipes and I'll start compiling them. If there aren't enough recipes/people for an entire book, I'll just send the PDF to whomever contributed and you can just print it out at home.
Does that work for everyone?
Send all your recipes to lbtrecipes@gmail.com
I'll let you know in a few days how many we have! :)

Hello Angie4big,
I would love to have a cookbook, but I'm not banded yet. Would it be possible for me to have one??
