Book Suggestions



Recommended Posts

I am interested in reading the narrative of people whom have had VSG. Does anyone have any suggestions. I am not looking for advice or guide books, just books about various people's journey. If you have a suggestion please let me know. Thanks!

I haven't read this one yet, but it might be what you are looking for. (From an article in our local paper this weekend.)

This is one recommended by the person who did my psych clearance. I read it before surgery and includes stories of different people's experiences.

The Success Habits of Weight Loss Surgery Patients 3rd Edition by Colleen Cook http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MOKSOO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_udp_awd_rwL1wbZDJHDEJ

I don't know why I didn't think of it yesterday, but you will want to read our very own Queen of Crop's book:

Queen of Crop: A Year in My Life After Weight Loss Surgery https://www.amazon.com/dp/9082351803/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_JkV1wbN14XHR6

"Stranger Here" was extremely helpful to me. She had a duodenal switch surgery but same idea.

Yup I actually have read that one. But I agree it is a good one.

      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! 😞
