Has anyone purchased this book I keep seeing being advertised on this site? If so, does it contain any good nutritional information?

I have the book. It is a very good resource on everything VSG. It does contain good nutritional information.

There are other good books with nutritional information. Check this thread:

I bought it...it covers everything you would want to know. Honestly I had researched a lot before I bought it so it was all mostly redundant, but I was glad that I had read it. If anything it helped me be mentally ready for surgery because I felt like I was as prepared as possible knowledge-wise.

I bought an e-copy just before I had my surgery. I am only sorry I did not get it sooner. I would have benefitted from some of the things in the book had I known them while I prepared for surgery. I am very happy to have the e-version. Just over three months out from surgery I find I still go back to it as a reference. It is a very thorough book. It is also a quick read. I highly recommend it (even if I don't get a penny from doing so!).

That can happen even with great nutrition. It's a response to the stress your body undergoes with the surgery. Some do and some don't. Making sure you get in enough Protein is a big part of it, but even with that some people lose it.

I just read another book that is really good for nutrition and motivation, it's called "Ultimate Gastric Sleeve Success" -- which I mainly ordered based on the title. Also written by a doc/surgeon, Dr. "V".

Recommended.

The "Big Book of VSG" is an excellent resource for everyone. It is actually written by Alex, founder of this website.
