Welcome to Bandfriendlyrecipes.com! Here is a collection of my favorite band-friendly meals. Not only are they great for those who have a gastric band, but they are also family-friendly and sometimes even kid-friendly. Most of all, they are healthy, low calorie, low carb recipes that anyone can enjoy.
Got a fabulous Band Friendly recipe you would like to share or any ideas that you think will make this site better? Send it here : megan@bandfriendlyrecipes.com

Megan, it's a great site and the photography is really good too. I posted a link to my surgical team's yahoo group (I'm a patient). It is a great resource! I know how much work this can be, keep it up!
Hi Meagan! This is a great site! I was recently banded on August 31,2009. I am still adjusting and trying new foods, so that I won't get tired and bored with eating the same things. Do you know if there are some other websites also that give out band friendly recipes?
Low Carb Gourmet- http://www.thelow-carbgourmet.com/... It isn't 100% band friendly, but they have some great recipes.
The world according to Eggface- http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/ Again, It isn't 100% band friendly. But she did have a gastric bypass. She has a lot of recipes using protein powder.
Jean M- http://jeanslapbandjourney.blogspot.com/- She has some great band friendly recipes on her site.
How do many of you measure your food. I am seeking the easiest way. With a scale or measuring cup. And do you measure and then store for easy reddiness.
In the beginning I did both. I would weigh my meat and measured anything thing else. I would also divided food up into containers. Now that I that I have more experience, I don't measure...I just eyeball it. Every once in a while I will measure my food, just to check that I am not over or under eating. I still divide up my left overs in glad ware containers that holds about a cup.
I just got my band this week. I am starting to feel back to normal and looking forward to the changes I am making. Megan your pictures are lovely and this site has been so helpfull to me.I was hoping to find a site that would appeal to the cook in me, yours sure did! THANK YOU!
Hi Megan, I am a Gastric Bypass post op, and my daughter just had Lap band done about three weeks ago. We came across some of your recipes in a magazine. We love the muffin tins recipes. What a great idea. Now That we have found your web site, we discovered we love more of your recipes, but they are not printer friendly. This would be a great way to improve your web site... Anyway we want to say Thank you for sharing. It's been very helpful so far. Pebbles
This website is fantastic! I never knew there were so many cool and simple recipes for bandsters out there! Im over filled at the moment and have been struggling along, but your website has inspired me to get a small unfill so I can start preparing healthy and yummy recipes.
Im going to be showing this website to my dietician who is exclusively for bandsters for my surgeon. She will love it!
Hi Meagan! My name is Doug and I'm going to be getting my lap band very soon. I was told that I need to eat 60 grams of protein a day. Do these recipes account for that daily protein.
