Anyone read any good Lap Band books?



Recommended Posts

I would like to purchase a few Lap Band books to read this winter. I have read a few posts that mention a few books, but I can't seem to remember them. Please tell me the titles (and authors if you know) of the ones you like. Cook books are welcome, too as long as they are specifically for Lap Banders.

Thanks everyone!:D

There are several out there that are informational, but as an inspirational book I liked "Fighting Weight" by Aaliyah Ali (Muhammed Ali's daughter). It is an easy read and available electronically for download on the Sony Reader (great little gadget, I love it because I can have so many books with me at once!). Of course it is available at Borders, Barnes & Noble or on Amazon too. :lol:

I also bought other books including the cookbook mentioned above and Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies, and the Weight Loss Surgery book by the doctors of Big Medicine. I was considering buying the book by Dr. Ortiz as well to add to the library. At this point not sure if I will gain any more information than I already have though. :D

Best of luck!

I have quite a list going now! I found a few other threads, but you mentioned a title or two that had not yet been mentioned, so I am really glad I started a new thread! Must be new recently published titles. Any more suggestions?

Thanks everyone!!!

      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.
