I read several -but this is my favorite:

Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band by Robert Sewell. Restless Monkey has recommended that one before too. It covers what to expect before, during and after surgery. I've found myself going back and reading to brush up on things I may have forgotten.

I'll be curious to see if you get any other suggestions.

I can't remember the exact name of the book, but it was written by Khalia Ali, Mohammed's daughter. I had just had my 2nd fill when I read the book and in her book she described exactly what I was going thru. Needless to say, I couldn't put the book down. I've recommended to friends who are considering the band.

bambam is right, I did read and like that one a lot! What I did was go to Amazon and read people's reviews, then pick a couple top rated ones that seemed to address what I was interested in learning. Some are heavy on promotion, some are more medical, some have recipes etc ....

If you don't want to BUY from amazon it's still a great resource for info about the books!

      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.
