Recommended Posts

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?

      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! 😞
