What did you read to get your head/heart in the game?

My bariatric dr, surgeon, and NUT are all about empowering patients considering WLS. These books are a few from the list that they recommended.

Here is what I've read over the last year:

  • "The Sleeved Life; A patient to patient guide to VSG weight loss surgery" by Pennie Nicola
  • "Through Thick and Thin; The Emotional Journey of Weight Loss Surgery" by Warren L. Huberman, Ph.D
  • "Because I was Fat" by Andy Butler (didn't like this one as much)
  • "The Ultimate Gastric Sleeve Success" by Dr. Duc C. Vuong
  • "Protein First; The First Rule of Weight Loss Surgery" by Kaye Bailey
  • "Okay, I've Gone Through Weight Loss Surgery, Now What Do I Do?" by Joanne M Moff
  • "Skinny Jeans at Last! Secrets to Long Term Weight Loss Success" by Clifton Thomas, MD
  • "The Beck Diet Solution" by Judith S Beck, Ph.D

What have you read that helped you better understand the process and your journey?
