I just spent a good amount of time at Barns & Nobel... picked my self up a calorie book for restaurants, $6 and totally worth it....

However, I was really looking for a book that I've heard mentioned on here before, but I couldn't think of the name/author at the time. Living with Lap Band? Or something to that effect. Guesses?

Anyone have any good lap-band/WLS book recommendations?

Also couldn't really find a food journal I cared for, anyone find one they love?

Thanks, Sum

Eating well after weight loss surgery!

By Pat Levine

well, it's not a book, but i have found a really good website that can help you track calories and break down the kinds of calories you are eating. On Livestrong.com, you can search for pretty much anything from the nutrition information in specific restaurant foods to the calories in produce. The daily journal can track both your calories and your exercise. It's not lap-band specific, but it also has some articles on it about diet and exercise that I find really helpful.

My "Bible" is The LAP-BAND Solution: A Partnership for Weight Loss by Paul O'Brien.

He is from Melbourne and they have vast experience with the Lap Band there. Every question I have so far, I have found an answer in the book.

It is also very readable. I come back to it over and over again.

Dr Ortiz has one called Lapband for life.

Hello Starting-overin-AZ, I was also a patient with Dr. Fang. I know both he and Dr Juarez share the same practice. I was banded on Aug. 12, 2009. I have been trying to meet others here in AZ, so we can all talk with each other. It would be nice to have a group of Arizonans that could meet maybe once a month. If you know of any type of group, please let me know. Please email me at lingra@cox.net. Again, it's so nice to here from others in sunny AZ.
