Has anyone got the book advertised on here about the sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I want to get the book and the two other "what others bought along with this book" on Amazon. Is it worth the money or is there a better book all about the Sleeve, pre-op, post-op, what to expect before and after the procedure. What you will be eating and how long before resuming some other foods besides soft foods, etc...Thanks

Anything sleeve specific is better. Many have bought the book and said nothing but good things about it.

I got it two weeks before my surgery. It was very informational. Some of the stuff was different frm what my NUT stated in the handouts, so I am following the NUT rules and guidlines but crossrefrencing the book. I also had my husband read in case he had any questions that he didn't want to ask me personally. It gave him much better insight to the whole process.

I have bought 11 books for my iPad. I am not sure which one you are talking about. I learned something from all of them. I go a bit OCD when I research things. The one by Duc Vuong. I thought was excellent. Also one called. Emotional First Aid.

Yep. I bought the sleeve book as the download version. Very informative. I know that once I am on the far side of the sleeve, I will refer to it more. I also bought the Emotional First Aid. That one was recommended for my bariatric program.

http://www.amazon.com/Before-After-Living-Eating-Surgery/dp/0060567228 I love this book. I bought it for my best friend when he has his bypass, and then he bought me a copy when I had my band. There are some great recipes, and helpful info in the original book, and now there is a 2nd edition.

I just got them both. The gastric sleeve book I ordered the paperback before I realized that I can download Kindle on my iPhone and laptop. So I had also purchased a few other books. I like this kindle app. :)

I ordered Duc Vuong book by kindle on my iPhone and laptop yesterday. I can't put it down, I read every minute I get. I like his book. Also got the Emotional First Aid as well. Will start that one very soon. Thank you for your advise. :)

I have a Nook and buy my books from Barnesandnoble.com. My fav sleeve book has been "The Sleeved Life" by Pennie Nicola. It was only $3.99. Haven't read the book from Alex Brecher (the one on this site) yet but I really should. Think I've read everything there is to know about the sleeve. At this point everything I read is redundant. have about 6 sleeve books on my Nook.

Luv my Nook. bring it with me everywhere, since it fits in my purse. Do you have a Kindle (amazon.com was the hint!). How do u like it?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
