Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know of a good book out there for bandsters? I'm looking for diet ideas, tips, FAQ's, foods to eat and avoid, etc.

Thanks. :smile2:

Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band is my favorite of the ones I bought (I also got Fighting Weight by Khalia Ali and the Lap Band Companion). It's a really good one to read before surgery and right after. I definitely recommend it! Also, reading blogs is very helpful too.

Best,

Catherine

I just read "Before & After, Living and Eating Well after Weight Loss Surgery".. it even comes with recipes. Very good insightful read. It's basically a journey of a woman that had it done. (Her's was RNY though!)

Hi there,

I needed alot more info, I felt like I was going in uneducated circles and went to Amazon and searched lap band books. Most of them were for bypass patients. I got a few cookbooks, but the only one I liked was "Eating well after weight loss surgery" by Patt Levine & Michelle Bontempo -Saray, the author has a band, so it feels like her info is more suited to us. A great book for info that I am learning alot from and loving is "Ultimate Lapband Success" by Dr. Duc C. Vuong, a lapand surgeon. His book is full of good information (not a cookbook) but really has already taught me a few things. I know I have alot to learn.

I wish a successful bandster would write a book saying this is what I did, how I did it, what I ate, what exercice I did, and was honest about it so we could just follow what they did.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
