Well, there is the Dr. Alvarez book that is advertised here on the site. For a novel, I just finished Gone Girl, it was really good.

i was in the hospital for two days

i didn't have any complications, but i didn't feel up to reading, or listening to an ipod or whatever. did my walking, thats all i wanted to do.

on the first day at the hospital DH was with me, after a while i said, i know you must be tired after a long day at work, and now coming here. he said no, no i want to be with you.

i said something like, the truth is i just want to rest ,so would you mind leaving? ^_^not in those words of course, but i wanted to go to sleep - oh well, he understood and finally left ;)

hope you find something to read that you will enjoy - i read at home - Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook for Dummies - book was good. Lots of good info, and of course recipes to look over to eventually prepare, and eat :)

Good luck on pending surgery

I LOVE these books! Definitely LOL, wait, is that a good thing after surgery?!? Personally, I think something that is easy to pick up and put down that doesn't require heavy thinking is good.

      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.
