Hi all! I am new to the forum. I hope to have my lap band with plication surgery in early October. I would be interested in any books you have found particularly interesting, as well as what you pre-surgery diet was like. Many thanks. I hope to contribute more in the future.

Welcome to the Forum. I read a few on new recipe considerations, and 'how to eat' but that was long ago and I've lost track of the title.

They did expand my knowledge base.

My pre-surgery diet was to lose 25# and relied on a sort of modified Atkins approach. I became fond of balsamic vinegar as a salad dressing...it's far more complex than what I had previously thought.

My life improved tremendously due to the Band. Cheers on your journey.
