I really liked The Cinderella Pact. I'm now reading The Lighter Side of Large- downloaded from Amazon for $2.99. So far it's been good. ;)

I have never heard of any of these books? So are they fiction books or biographies? Is the character fat or trying to lose weight? I'm confused - BUT INTERESTED!!!

One of my favorite books (autobiography) is Showing Up for Life. Very good.

Now I want to read all these books!!!!

Yes these are fiction. They are weight related books. The Cinderella Pact is about 3 friends trying to all lose weight in their own way- one hires a trainer, one does weight watchers and one does WLS. They make a deal to lose weight once and for all! I really enjoyed it!

Fiction... They are great stories about women and the path to losing weight... Many border on romance novels.

Just finished reading Cinderella Pact and enjoyed it! I have never read any books in regard to being overweight and different paths to losing... Kinda stick to the same authors until you stumble on a new one. I've also bought several others that were recommended... Can't wait to start those!

I'm currently reading a book called "Fat Chances" by Erin Shaw. She got the bypass not the sleeve but she tells her story of her life and what lead up to her getting weight loss surgery and how her life has changed afterward. It is a great book. You will laugh, cry, and be able to relate to her life's challenges as a result of being overweight. Highly recommended!!!

      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
