Wow! Three for three! The one you are recommending is the big encyclopedia one correct? It's expensive on Amazon but it sounds like its worth it!

no, that is what I paid for it. However I bought her cookbook too. She is so awesome. You will enjoy the book. I'm almost 4 wks post op and boy did I have questions, yes I did my homework before surgery but Jean just has it all right there in the book how you really feel and what you will go thru. Wonderful read!!!

The 17.95 price is when you buy it from me. When you buy Bandwagon and Bandwagon Cookery together, they're $15 each.

The version sold on Amazon is the 1st edition, which is out of print.

Yes, it's the giant encyclopedia one. You'll get the best price by clicking on my Bandwagon ad here on LBT (at the bottom of the forum page) or by going to http://jean-onthebandwagon.blogspot.com and clicking on one of the purchase options (credit card or PayPal) on the left hand side of the page. books ordered via PayPal can be autographed to you; just specify that in the space provided when you place your order.

Thanks for your interest!

Jean

      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.
