Some 'flabuless' fictional weight loss novels?



Recommended Posts

I am so bored...yea right! with two kids, 3 websites on the go and a house to upkeep! but am an avid reader and whenever I find the time... Can anyone recommend a fictional books about weightloss? I have come across some really funny books like "Good in bed" by jennifer weiner as well as touching ones. I am trying to track down "diary of a fat housewife" as I have heard that is pretty good. But I was wondering if anyone else knew of any good reads ie not self help hehehe!. Reading AND inspiration for entertainment if you get my drift? Please pass on your 'flabuless' finds.

Hi Flabuless,

love your posts and web site. You are a hoot!

One book I enjoyed is called Jemima J., by Jane Green. Very funny with a great twist at the end. Happy reading.

I was about to suggest Jemima J. THAT BOOK IS A HOOT!

There's one called "All American Dream Girls" which made me laugh so hard I cried. David Haynes is the author.

And there's another one called..... ooooooh, racking my brain.... The Way It Is, by Patrick Sanchez.

I want to say I've read some other books about chunky mamas who find love and happines through weight loss, but *shrug* Bridget Jones is another.

I'll post again if I think of more!

Happy Reading,

nathalie

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
