If you do a search for books you will find a ton. Are sure to tell it to look in all forums. I know there is a current thread in Research and Statistics.

There are two books I've left on my Kindle since before I had the surgery, they are "The Sleeved Life: A Patient-toPatient Guide on Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Weight Loss Surgery by Pennie Nicola" and "The Big Book on Gastric Sleeve: Everything you Need to Know to Lose Weight and Live Well with the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy by Alex Brecher and Natalie Stein." I've also got a couple of cookbooks, but I don't really use them all that often...

The Big Book on Gastric Sleeve ... by Alex Brecher is a great source of information. They answered just about any question you can think of. I also read The Sleeved Life and found that helpful also.

I also downloaded Pennie Nicola's book, "The Sleeved Life: A Patient-to-Patient Guide on Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Weight Loss Surgery" and bought Alex Brecher's "Big Book on Gastric Sleeve," both very helpful before and after surgery. I especially liked Pennie's book because it is from the perspective of a patient.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
