Hello everyone,

I'm getting sleeved on the 7th of august and I am on day 3 of my pre op diet. I'm reading 'weightloss' surgery for dummy's but it doesn't have much about the gastric sleve in there.

Can anyone recommend a book to read that will be helpful or inspirational while I try to take my mind off food?

Thanks in advance!

I have a book on my iPad called the big book on the Gastric Sleeve. It is excellent. I found it on Amazon.

I am also getting sleeved on 7th August. At Pindara Hospital on the Gold Coast. With Dr Nolan. I suspect you are somewhere in Australia as well.

Right on the home page of this website there is a book advertised "the big book of VSG".....something like that.....it's also available at amazon and as a download.....it's quite good.

I'm an August 7 sleever too. How is your liquid diet coming along? This is torture. I have been thinking ok do I really need this? I'm not THAT fat. I want to eat! I know if I just get through these 2 weeks ill be fine.

Awesome that we are on the same day I'm having surgery in Melbourne with Dr Michelle. I will look up that book thank you.

I'm going okay so far but it is pretty hard when I still have to cook and serve the kids food! I keep reading that it gets better after day 3. I hope so because I can't imagine doing this for 2 weeks!

There's the Big Book on Gastric Sleeve, and the one by the surgeon Dr. Guillermo Alvarez, both are really good. Both are available on Amazon, and the downloads are 9.99

I read "Successful Weight Loss with THE GASTRIC SLEEVE" by Dr. Guillermo Alvarez. You can order it on his site, Endobariatrics.com or Amazon. It's written simply, and gives you all the before and after information you need. I also purchased the book EAT IT UP, The Complete Mind / Body / Spirit Guide to a Full Life After Weight Loss Surgery, by Connie Stapleton, PHD. I haven't read it yet, I'm saving it to have something to read on my flights to and from Mexido. Dr. Alvarez's book deals with the neck down, and Stapleton's book deals with the neck up. Both equally important.

Thanks for these. I have just down loaded both. You can never learn too much! Every time I read something about it I learn or understand a little bit more. Day 4 of Pre op diet and doing OK!
