Can you recommend a low carb cookbook?  I have basic cooking/baking skills, so nothing fancy.  Any help is much appreciated!

South Beach Diet recipes are fairly sleeve friendly - they've got a "quick and easy" one that might be useful for you?  

I also find Paleo recipes are super sleeve friendly and there are a ton of paleo blogs out there that might suit you as well.  Not cookbooks, but still great.

I like Laurie's Low Carb Cook Book.  It is Atkins so its a bit higher in fat than I like, so I cut back on the sour cream and cheeses, but I enjoy the recipes, and they are fairly simple.

Best of luck

I like The High Protein Cookbook. Everything I've made from there, my family liked. I did modify some of the recipes to have less oil. Not that I'm a big believer in cutting out all your fat but I like my food a bit lighter than they do. Everything was made with quality ingredients, real food and very tasty and flavorful. The only thing is, if you aren't a foodie as I am not, you may have to look up the names of some of the ingredients and some of the directions online. 

OTOH, the Eating Well After WLS cookbook sucked. I had to throw some of the food out. My family didn't like most of it and a lot of the recipes called for too much artificial crap. The philosophy was: let's take regular recipes, substitute the crap out of them with fake sugar and fake fat, and pretend we're eating the real thing. Not my deal at all.
