Books We Recommend

Wanted to start a thread of the books we recommed re: health (mind)(body) (nutrition), having powerful influences at this point of our journey. Ok I'll start: the entire YOU series by Michael Roizen and Mehmet C. Oz:

YOU THE OWNER'S MANUEL; YOU ON A DIET AND YOU THE SMART PATIENT. My surgury is May 8th and collectively those books have given me so much useful, current info. and empowered me in such a great way!

omg.. I love reading. I don't know any 'how to' diet type books that I've ever read beyond the intro chapter... but two books that I read again,and again that have 'weight' themes are "She's come undone" (I forget the author's name), and "Passing for Thin" By Francis Kauffel.

Yay BOOKS!!!

"She's come undone" is by Wally Lamb..

I just purchased a journal from e-bay called "DietMinder" It is a diet and fitness journal. You track your meals/cals/fat/protein/carbs/water/medications/fitness etc..I really love it. I know some ppl use fitday.com, but I cannot always get to the computer and this is handy for me.

also have read cover to cover many times "Weight loss surgery for dummies"

there was a post but I can't find it about a book to help get over your head hunger - i know i'm terribly vague but if i could remember more then maybe i could find the thread =)

i have been listening to my first book on CD - The Secret.

Some I found pretty helpful (and amusing) are books by Geneen Roth, like [ame=http://www.amazon.com/When-You-Refrigerator-Pull-Chair/dp/0786885084/ref=pd_bbs_sr_7/102-2743526-2985736?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176002457&sr=8-7]When You Eat at the Refrigerator, Pull Up a Chair[/ame].

Another one I liked a lot was Taming the Feast Beast by Jack Trimpey.

If you are a stressy person like me, try reading Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn. It's pretty in depth, but very informative -- all about how to incorporate meditation exercises for stress management.
