Emotional First Aid Kit Book



Recommended Posts

My surgeon's office (the psychiatrist) told me about this book, I bought it and read it- I am sure others have as well- it's called Emotional First Aid Kit. I liked it, usually I start these books (anything self help) and about 2 chapters in I get bored and never go back- but I read this cover to cover, and did the little exercises/lists she suggests. I really liked it, so I thought I would share.

I"m glad to hear its good! My surgeon's office didnt recommend anything in the way of literature.. but i turned this up on my own search (because hey, librarian!).... and put it on my Christmas list. My MIL already told me I'll be getting it for Christmas. lol!

(At least she's being supportive, right?)

I like it a lot. I was looking at a couple others on Amazon, but this Psych said this was best so I let that make my decision :)

This was on my recommended reading list as well. I thought some parts were pretty simple/basic, but overall a good read. A lot of it I remember from psychology and social work majors :P

My nutritionist suggested this book for all the bariatric patients and I bought it on Amazon.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
