Picked up a copy of Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook for Dummies at borders books for $19.95. It's great and answers a lot of questions in plain language that most of us have and some we hadn't thought about. It covers LapBand and Bypass issues and clearly keeps issues with each seperate. There are Nook and Kindle versions too at about $10.00. I think its worth having on the bookshelf.

Thanks hon! This is awesome!! Sooooo where can I get a free Nook so that I only have to pay $10 for the book?:lol:

Sorry can't help you there but I can suggest that you get this nifty freeware program that will read most anything e-book wise and with that you can convert to any other format including the ever popular PDF. So if you run accross a page with a recipe you want, you can print it out using the adobe that's on everybodys computer, cause all the user manuals come in that format. OR just print out the page directly from the Nook book from Calibre itself. Pretty useful free tool i'd say. Purchase and download the book plug it into this program and you are all set. You can now read the Nook book without forking over $200.00 for the hardware.. :P

The online news fetch tool built into this freeware program is really awsome too. :Banane37: Anyway you can read your Nook book or Kindle book or a host of others natively with this little gem. It does ask for donations but doesn't have a beg screen to deal with. I sent the author $10.00 it's worth more but i'm retired due to the crappy economy and living with a fixed income doesn't let me splurge as much as I once did.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
