A must read for sleevers

[cknapp319 7]

I found a book on Amazon that I wish I would have found before my sleeve. But it is also very helpful during and after. I hit a plateau at 220 lbs for about 5 weeks and try as I could was unable to break it. I needed to get past the plateau for my self and for my son. His kidney transplant is pending on it. I bought this book "The Big Book on the Gastric Sleeve" by Alex Brecher and Natalie Stein. I got the book about a week and a half ago. Since my surgery is already about 6 1/2 months out I kind of skimmed through it for what I needed. I landed on Chapters 14 & 15. Read every thing though and took notes and decided to revamp what I was currently doing. As of this morning I weighed in at 214. So the little change ups that I made seem to be working. I am going to continue to do what I have this past week. Hopefully the weight will continue to drop going forward.

I downloaded it on my Kindle app for my phone. Great stuff in there and it kept me busy while I was in the hospital.

My friend has also recommended that book...it is by the founder of this website (Alex)!

She has found it helped her get over a plateau she has been struggling with for awhile now

I read the book over a month ago and it's a great pre and post surgery book. I recommended it to the group.

I'm off to surgery today at 2pm. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!
