The BIG Book on the Gastric Sleeve! vs other books



Recommended Posts

Money is tight right now, as I'm sure you can all imagine...

Is this book going to give me more information than my nut/surgeon, and other books I've read? I know it is just 10 bucks for a digital copy, but I've bought a few other books, and so far they're just rehashing what I've learned at my surgery consult, nut consult, and psych consult.

What makes this book stand out (besides the fact that it probably supports this community and I shouldn't be such a cheapskate).

Not sure what the book can really tell ya, but I will tell you this much...everything you are gonna need to know you will find out from your surgeon, nut, and support groups if you have one in your area, and this forum...dont waste your money

I do have a support group in my area, hosted by my surgeon's team in fact... I mean, my nutritionist provided a ton of useful information http://www.wheatoniowa.org/programs-services/weight-loss-surgery/patient-education/diet-and-nutrition.aspx , and I like books because they answer questions sometimes I didn't know I had. These forums are ok for that, but I'm wondering what other people have done.

I got some of my materials from the nut and surgeon. The rest I found online including watching videos of the actual surgeon being performed. I didn't see the need to buy a book when so much info is available online for free.

      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.
