After undergoing bariatric surgery, Carol Bowen Ball recognized the lack of practical information specifically tailored for weight-loss surgery patients. Determined to address this gap, she embarked on a remarkable journey. She authored the first and, to date, the only UK bariatric advice and cookery book titled "Return to Slender." Simultaneously, she launched BariatricCookery.com, a website dedicated to supporting the same patients. A year later, she followed up with "Return 2 Slender… Second Helpings," a sequel that continued to receive widespread praise from the professional bariatric community, as well as pre-op and post-op patients.

The recipes featured in The Bariatric Bible are meticulously designed and developed to cater to individuals at every stage following weight-loss surgery. These recipes are color-coded to align with the three main stages post-surgery: the Red or 1st Fluids Stage, the Amber or 2nd Soft/Puréed Stage, and the Green or 3rd Eating for Life Stage. Each recipe includes a comprehensive nutritional analysis, providing detailed information on measured calories, protein, carbohydrate, and fat levels. Additionally, recipes are further coded for suitability for freezing and for vegetarian eating, ensuring inclusivity and convenience for all readers.

A new bariatric lifestyle extends beyond food alone. It encompasses various aspects, including exercise, behavioral changes, adherence to essential medications, navigating challenging situations, handling social interactions, exploring fashion and beauty advice, and cultivating healthier habits to replace old destructive patterns. Recognizing the holistic nature of this transformation, Carol Bowen Ball has crafted the most comprehensive book on the market today.

The book will delve into the various types of surgery available, empowering patients and their bariatric teams to make informed choices from the wide array of options. It will also provide valuable insights into the necessary pre-op diets, ensuring a smooth preparation for the surgical journey.

In conclusion, "Return to Slender" and its sequel, "Return 2 Slender… Second Helpings," are extraordinary resources that have transformed the lives of countless individuals embarking on their weight-loss journey. Carol Bowen Ball's dedication, expertise, and compassion have created a valuable tool for those seeking guidance, support, and delicious recipes to accompany their transformative path. These books have received widespread praise from the professional bariatric community and have become a staple for anyone seeking a healthier, happier life after bariatric surgery.
