I just finished He Loves Lucy. Loved it. I just downloaded The Cinderella Pact... I've heard that one is good! Any other good recommendations out there?

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!!!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
