Found A Fantastic Guide Book!



Recommended Posts

Not sure if anyone else posted about this. In reading another post, I saw Weight Loss Surgery For Dummies. I'm sure I'm going for RNY bypass one but wanted to know more about others. So went to order it and saw Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook For Dummies.

I am sooo happy I found it. It's already doggeared and highlighted and has colored tags all over it and haven't gotten to real food recipes yet.

Really, this has the best info! It starts with your liquid pre surg diet. What to bring to hospital and how to set up your kitchen! Then just hits every other point from there.

I can't recommend this enough. Everyone should look at this. Even think Drs should recommend it for reading before surg.

I realize all Drs have their own guidelines and this may have stuff you don't have to do/use but still...what a help.

Wasn't sure where I should post...here, post surg or cookbook? Reaches all of these really.

I saw that someone posted about weight loss surgery for dummies and downloaded it to my iPad. I will most likely get the cookbook too now that you speak of it!

I have lots of books on WLS as I've been trying to make this happen for years! I have to say this book is clear, to the point, and totally informative! I second the recommendation!

      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.

      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!
