Queen In Me 36 Posted September 20, 2012 I was curious as to if anyone ever read any of the weight loss surgery books (For example weight loss surgery for dummies and etc). Are they worth purchasing? If so, what books do you suggest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isajck 229 Posted September 20, 2012 I did not read any commercial books. In my opinion, there is more than enough free information available on the internet and that helped me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Queen In Me 36 Posted September 20, 2012 I did not read any commercial books. In my opinion, there is more than enough free information available on the internet and that helped me. Well when you put it that way...You are so right... I have found alot of good information online. I was looking into a book for my mom who isn't really into computers. I know once I tell her I am having surgery, she is going to have a crap load of questions. So I thought a book would help with some of the questions....

joyful noise 101 Posted September 20, 2012 I liked the Weight Loss for Dummies and the cookbook as well. My favorite book, though is :"the Everything Post Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook (All you need to meet and maintain your weight loss goals)" by Jennifer Whitock. The price is 15.95, but I got mine on Amazon for 9.00. You might go to your library, take a few books out and see if you like them, before buying any. That's what I did.

Raven21 121 Posted September 20, 2012 I didn't think "Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies" told me anything I hadn't already read, but for your mom, it might be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cherrybombknits 184 Posted September 23, 2012 I read Before and After on my Nook, it was pretty interesting. I'm looking into print cookbooks; I guess I'm too old to use a screen in the kitchen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
