Recommended Reading - Any Good Books?



Recommended Posts

After my psych evaluation, the psychologist recommended a few books for me:

"When food is Love"

"Eating Mindfully"

and

"Feeding the Hungry Heart"

Have any of you read any of these?

Any other recommendations for good books to help deal with the "head" issues?

I'm really looking to get on the right track before I have the surgery!

I have heard some people didn't like it, but the only book I read post-op was Lap-Band for Life by Dr. Ortiz. I really liked it, it was an easy read and it addressed issues I had not heard from my doc or on the forum.

I liked "Love to Eat, Hate to Eat" (It's Christian, so if you are offended by that kind of thing sorry!)

What I like doing is taking an hour to myself and stealing away to the nearest book store. I get a cup of java and spend an hour reading from the nutrition/exercise/weight loss section. I try and do this once a week... helps keep the motivation level high.

Geneen Roth books are good (Feeding the Hungry Heart is hers). I also did start reading a book called "I Can Make You Thin," but I'm kind of stalled on that. I have a bit of an attention span problem. LOL But the author of that book is actually starting a series based on that book. I think it's going to be on TLC or Discovery or something like that. Should be coming up in March.

      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! 😞
