I just finished He Loves Lucy. Loved it. I just downloaded The Cinderella Pact... I've heard that one is good! Any other good recommendations out there?

I really liked The Cinderella Pact. I'm now reading The Lighter Side of Large- downloaded from Amazon for $2.99. So far it's been good. ;)

I have never heard of any of these books? So are they fiction books or biographies? Is the character fat or trying to lose weight? I'm confused - BUT INTERESTED!!!

One of my favorite books (autobiography) is Showing Up for Life. Very good.

Now I want to read all these books!!!!

Yes these are fiction. They are weight related books. The Cinderella Pact is about 3 friends trying to all lose weight in their own way- one hires a trainer, one does weight watchers and one does WLS. They make a deal to lose weight once and for all! I really enjoyed it!

Fiction... They are great stories about women and the path to losing weight... Many border on romance novels.

Just finished reading Cinderella Pact and enjoyed it! I have never read any books in regard to being overweight and different paths to losing... Kinda stick to the same authors until you stumble on a new one. I've also bought several others that were recommended... Can't wait to start those!

I'm currently reading a book called "Fat Chances" by Erin Shaw. She got the bypass not the sleeve but she tells her story of her life and what lead up to her getting weight loss surgery and how her life has changed afterward. It is a great book. You will laugh, cry, and be able to relate to her life's challenges as a result of being overweight. Highly recommended!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
