I currently am reading "The Sleeved Life" on my iPhone... pretty good so far!

I just finished "Beyond the Refrigerator" the entire time I read it, it made me feel like I would fail with the sleeve :/

I just finished a book called "I had weight loss surgery, now what do I do". Its hard to find books specific to sleeve but I did read The Gastric Sleeve by Dr. Alverez advertised on this site. I also bought the weight loss surgery cookbook for dummies, it has some great receipes and was written by a chef who actually had WLS.

there is alot of stuff on the web, but I learned more on this site than I did from any book. Good Luck

I have the following on my kindle

The success habits of weight loss surgery patients

Before and after

The sleeved life

Wish I could donate these to new sleevers or potential sleevers.

I also checked out quite a few weight loss surgery books from the library. These include cooking and recipe books.

      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.
