Has anyone read WLS for Dummies?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone has anyone read WLS for Dummies? I also saw they are coming out with a WLS Cook Book for Dummies.

I read the book--have a copy if anyone wants it (PM me)---but didn't find that it held any more information than I already knew. Reading here provides more insight, IMO.

But it's never bad to read up--and it's a good beginner's manual.

(And as I said, I'd be happy to pass on my copy if anyone wants it.)

Read it and found the recipes workable. Another good read is "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery".

I LOVE cooking and cookbooks! I've been kind of down thinking about all the things I haven't cooked yet or love to cook because I won't be cooking as much after surgery. I can't believe how stupid I feel right now!!! I must need that book!.. I truly hadn't even thought of looking for a WLS book, or a cookbook just for life after the surgery. I can't believe I didn't think to look. (I've got more cookbooks than can fit in 1 cupboard!)

Anyone know of any other cookbooks that are good?!

It is one of several books I bought. I wanted to read up on everything I could get my hands onto. It is very informative. Ive read it twice allready. I bought it from EBAY.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
