What Books Have You Read To Prepare?



Recommended Posts

I was looking at some books on Amazon about the sleeve and it made me wonder what everyone else has been reading? I was given "Finding The Thin Person Inside You" (fourth edition) by Barbara Thompson. It's very outdated. I have been looking at a few others though. So, what are you reading?!?

Dr. Alavrez's "The Gastric Sleeve". Pretty good book. I keep it on hand for motivation and I used it for food suggestions as I progressed through each post-op stage.

Highly recommend "Beyond The Refrigerator: Navigating Life After Weight-Loss Surgery" by Linda Ouellette it is one of three books I read, and for me it was the right mix of info and time (i.e. was not too long or too short). You can read it in a weekend without reading all weekend..

      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.
