What Books Have You Read To Prepare?



Recommended Posts

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 It's very outdated.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.

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..

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
