I really enjoyed Jon Gabriel's "The Gabriel Method" and Geneen Roth's "Women, food and God".

I would also suggest anything that uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Have fun.

my dr. recommended "Fighting Weight" by Kaileah Ali, the boxers daughter.

She had lapband and this is her story.

I haven't read it yet but will soon.

Hi,

I bought Dr. Ariel Ortiz's book, "Lap-Band for Life". I have really enjoyed it. I wish I'd had it pre-operatively, that would have been great. I was able to find it on Amazon.com.< /span>

Good Luck!

Roger Gould's Shrink Yourself has really good tools for tackling emotional eating. The food and Feelings Workbook by Karen R. Koenig is also very helpful.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
