Hello,

I just finished reading Before and After by Susan Maria Leach and I was wondering if anyone has read anything regarding Lap-band surgery that they would reccomend?

Thanks!

I am in the process of reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. It is SOOOO helpful to me. Its not so much about weightloss but more about how our minds work. It has helped me not be so negative and also helped me to accept who am for who am I, not with what I look like. It's still been a very hard road for me. After losing 92 pounds, I found I still hated myself. It has helped me a lot with getting that worthlessness that I have felt out of my mind.

The book "Fighting Weight" is written by Mahammad Ali's daughter and my Dr, George Fielding. It is excellent. I did a search on my libraries' website and came up with alot of books strictly on WLS, not particular to the band. I want to read Dr Ortiz's book. Alot of people have recommended it. I guess I will have to buy it. Carney Wilson wrote two books, "Gut Feelings" and "I am Still Hungry" There is also "Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies".

Did you know that there is a "Before and After Website and store online by the same author? It is interesting, but expensive!

This is a really good thread. I love to read. Hope to hear about more good books. :)

      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.
