What kind of info are you hunting for? There are so many books out there that it's hard to pick one or two that cover everything. I can tell you that I've never bought any books, I've found everything I needed on this board, just by visiting every day and looking at the new questions posted. We have so many of the same concerns and questions, that eventually some one will post the answer I'm looking for. And a lot of the time, I see things posted that I never thought about, which later were useful.

The best way I've found to search this site for head hunger is typing the following into Google -

site:verticalsleevetalk.com "head hunger"

You'll get lots of personal stories and experiences from people that are going through the same things you are thinking about.

If you really want a book, then I would look up "Emotional First Aid Kit" on Amazon and read the reviews to see if any other books are compared to that one or if the reviewers suggest other titles.

      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.
