Has anyone read WLS for Dummies?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone has anyone read WLS for Dummies? I also saw they are coming out with a WLS Cook Book for Dummies.

I read the book--have a copy if anyone wants it (PM me)---but didn't find that it held any more information than I already knew. Reading here provides more insight, IMO.

But it's never bad to read up--and it's a good beginner's manual.

(And as I said, I'd be happy to pass on my copy if anyone wants it.)

Read it and found the recipes workable. Another good read is "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery".

I LOVE cooking and cookbooks! I've been kind of down thinking about all the things I haven't cooked yet or love to cook because I won't be cooking as much after surgery. I can't believe how stupid I feel right now!!! I must need that book!.. I truly hadn't even thought of looking for a WLS book, or a cookbook just for life after the surgery. I can't believe I didn't think to look. (I've got more cookbooks than can fit in 1 cupboard!)

Anyone know of any other cookbooks that are good?!

It is one of several books I bought. I wanted to read up on everything I could get my hands onto. It is very informative. Ive read it twice allready. I bought it from EBAY.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
