I just finished reading jemima jones by Jane green and I loved it, I couldn't put it down! Does anyone else have any good recommendations for books they have read? :-)

I just finished The Cinderella Pact about 3 friends who vow to lose weight (each by a different means), it is told from one persons perspective though. Kind of romancy too. It wasn't too bad.

I recently started reading Kate White's book, I Shouldn't Be Telling You This. It gives advice on how to be successful in both your professional and personal life. I am enjoying it so far...

I read three books on the way out to do my surgery on VSG and Barriatric Surgery. Maybe I should have done it earlier but better late than never.

The Sleeved Life: A Patient to Patient Guide on VSG WLS by Pennie Nicole -- I liked this as it was specifically on VSG. She talked about pre- and post-operative concerns, success factors, and then delved into maintenance.

Succesful Weight Loss with Gastric Sleeve by Dr Alvarez -- great read on the differences between the procedures and good tips for WL

The Success Factors of Weight Loss Surgery Patients -- not as much specifics on VSG, It does break it down within several categories of what makes succesful long-term WL patient. Lots of success stories reinforcing the particular point described on the previous pages.

I also bought WL cookbook: Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery ... by Pattie Levine and Michele ..

      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.

      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! 😞
