Chef David Telephone
Seminar Testimonials

Being one month post-op, this seminar was invaluable to me. I learned so much, and know what to look for (as far as carbs, etc.) now that I can begin to add food to my diet again! A medium-rare filet mignon is my favorite!! The tip about the warm beverage prior to eating is a gem! I tried it, and it really does help! Thank you so much for such an
interesting and informative seminar. I was thrilled to be able to participate! I can't wait to get Chef David's cookbook!!

Even though I'm 7 months after surgery, 150 lbs less, attend support group every month, and have access to over 200 WLS friends via the Internet daily- I learned something new with every question!!

My surgery is scheduled for 2 weeks from now, so I know I have lots to learn.  There was good content and lots of excellent hints that it would take months to gather on your own.  It is much more meaningful coming from someone who has experienced gastric bypass.  He did a good job of using his own experience to highlight a point.

I felt like I was in a front row seat with you and 100 other people and able to participate.  I could hear everything very well.  I loved the content of the seminar and
a lot of my questions were answered.  I am looking forward to the next telephone seminar and I thank you and Chef David for taking the time to help all of us.  It amazed me that so many people from all over the United States were participating in the telephone seminar and I could still hear everything you and Chef David had to say!

This telephone seminar was wonderful.  I thought it might be a little corny but it was very informational.   I saw my surgeon a couple of days later and told him and his nurse some of the tips David mentioned on the telephone seminar.  They were very interested.  My apprehension of doing this seminar is completely gone, and I would be very interested in your next seminar.

Loved the content. I learned much about which cuts of meat to buy and how to cook them.  Loved Chef David's favorite beef marinade recipe he gave in answer to my question- and it's very yummy too!

I am 4 weeks post op.  I have learned that there is so much more than what I am eating now. And he gave me ideas for the future after I am off pureed foods.  I now feel that it is possible to get my 60 grams of protein a day.  Thank you.

I learned several things.  I am six months post-op and learned some good ideas for food and snacks.  I have ordered the Just the Cheese and will be trying it soon.  I enjoyed hearing someone who has been there talk, especially someone who knows food content. 
Janet Page     Kentucky

The speaker was knowledgeable and, since he is 'one of us' really went to the heart of the issues that we cope with.  I got some good ideas of how to prepare food, especially meat, and include more protein in my diet.

I really enjoyed the telephone seminar.  It was informative.  It had handouts and most of all, the subject matter was a great subject.  It is great to know that a chef has our best interest at heart.  Not only that but he knows just what we need because he can relate to us because of his surgery.  And Barbara you knew just the right questions to ask and it kept the seminar moving and exciting.

The information was very helpful. I am the coordinator of a bariatric program and have not had the surgery myself, so it was great to get Chef David's first-hand perspective. I am eager to pass on his tips and to recommend his book to my patients. Barbara, you continue to be an excellent spokesperson.
Janet Hewlett     Illinois

The seminar gave me a great deal of useful information that I plan to use as a post-op.
Mary   California

I enjoyed the seminar, it gave me some new info I didn't have. I'm 17 months post op and at a stand still with my weight.  I've been very discouraged and your seminar gave me some encouragement.

Loved the telephone seminar!! My copy of Chef David's book has already been used
over and over. The recipes are yummy and even my skinny family love the
recipes.
