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

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
