I am an avid reader. I love anything and everything when it comes to reading and I was thinking about writing a blog on books I've read, but I didn't know how much that would be liked on here. Anyone out there that would read something like that or would I be wasting my time? :D

Would your topic be WLS books or any/every book you read? I think if you want to appeal to this forum, books on weight loss surgery, recipes post-op, healthy lifestyle, etc. would be the way to go. Otherwise, you could blog on GoodReads, Amaxon, or your local library site.

O I have tons of cookbooks and recipes I've tried lol. That's a good idea there. I've only read the book my Dr gave me after surgery and it was just meh. I was thinking of everyday books and its only because I'm reading one I hate to put down. I'm one of those read 3 or so at a time people and I got one yesterday that has trumped all others and I wish I could finish it like now. I'll check out one of those other sites but for some reason I'm more comfy with people here than with random people on the web reading it lol. I think it's because we all share something in common.

I am reading a book that Jodi Picoult wrote with her daughter. I'm sure it's like teenage level reading, but I love Jodi Picoult and own every book no matter what it is. So I got her most recent release called Between the Lines. I got it yesterday and I'm over halfway finished. If I can focus and get my homework completed I'll have it finished tonight. The last one I had like this was that new King book 11/23/63. The one about Kennedy being alive and what it would be like.

I'm telling you I read all the time. lol

Nice! I saw Jodi Picoult speak at our library during her book tour for Lone Wolf. She was very excited about the project with her daughter and described their writing process. The whole concept sounded really interesting. I read 11/22/63 with my book club and loved it even though I'm not a huge S. King fan. I'm laughing about Fifty Shades of Grey...everywhere I go people are talking about it, but nobody ever admits to reading it. I read one and two, and put down three in the middle. I'll probably pick it back up when I need an injection of excitement in the boudoir. It has an amazing effect! I'm reading The Newlyweds right now. It's about an Indian Internet bride who moves to Rochester to marry an American; a little slow starting but I like it.

I would love to see her speak. House Rules was probably my favorite ever. I haven't picked up Fifty Shades of Grey yet. I'm sure I will. Sadly (I can't believe I'm admitting this) I've been reading the Game of Thrones books and I like them. It seems so geekish to me, I don't know why lol. I can't remember the name of the other book I have going, but it isn't that good.

It looks like I have similar reading taste to you.

I enjoyed:

Sookie Stackhouse series ( fun & sexy but no 50 shades)

An e book series called Heller

The Book Thief(historical but good)

Room(about a kidnapped mom and her son-- emotional but good read)

If I think of more I'll post;)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
