What Books Have You Read To Prepare?

I was looking at some books on Amazon about the sleeve and it made me wonder what everyone else has been reading? I was given "Finding The Thin Person Inside You" (fourth edition) by Barbara Thompson. It's very outdated. I have been looking at a few others though. So, what are you reading?!?

    Dr. Alavrez's "The Gastric Sleeve". Pretty good book. I keep it on hand for motivation and I used it for food suggestions as I progressed through each post-op stage.

I bought the "dummies" book too. I am waiting for it to show up :)

Highly recommend "Beyond The Refrigerator: Navigating Life After Weight-Loss Surgery" by Linda Ouellette it is one of three books I read, and for me it was the right mix of info and time (i.e. was not too long or too short). You can read it in a weekend without reading all weekend..
