Need Good Reading Suggestions



Recommended Posts

I'm looking for any good light chicklit-ish type books for recovery time. I love things that are light, funny and pretty non serious especially to take my mind off things. Taking any and all suggestions! :-)

I enjoy the Janet evanovich Stephanie plum series. One for the money is the first one.

If you're not easily offended the Chelsea Handler books are amazing. Hysterical. But very fresh.

Definitely not easily offended!

Chelsea Handler was on my list (and probablt moving up to the top) and a friend had recently suggested Janet evanovich to me but I haven't read anything by her. I will definitely check her out! Thanks guys!

I plan on reading 50 Shades of Grey while I'm recovering. I wont be able to do it, so I guess I will just have to read about it LOL :D

50 shades was awesome!! Any of Karin Slaughters books are great if you like crime or murder mysteries. The first one is Blindsighted.

I read the 50 shades series while recovering. Have to say that was probably what contributed to me wanting to get things back into action with my husband quicker than I had thought I would post surgery! Sorry, TMI! Terribly written books but titilating nonetheless ;-)

Anyway, I like Marian Keyes books for easy reading and funny chick lit.

Lol I think I'm in the small percentage of people who didn't like it - definitely the minority. I like to be different :P

Agree re Karin Slaughter though. Good books!

Marian Keyes keeps showing up on chick lit lists. She has a lot of books, what's a good one to start with?

Cute romantic comedies by Katie MacAlister's Corset Diaries, Improper English, and Hard Days Knight. I re-read them occasionally I still find myself laughing.

I would start with one of her first, Watermelon or Rachel's holiday. They are dated now perhaps but still really good.

      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! 😞
