BOOKS??

Does anyone know of any good WLS books that you would recommend as a tool/guide to making this "lifestyle change? For those of us thinking/hoping to have surgery. Just trying to cover all basis as far resources here. Thanks.

At least six years. Not really. I'm sure I tried one at three months. I'm still confused by the sugar alcohol (I'm not sure that we can count net carbs yet). Most of the bars contain malitol so I guess it's user beware. Haven't had any problems yet, and they are convenient and actually I have been able to eat one 2 oz. bar at one sitting. Boy am I ambling. Rob

I had to read this a few times to realize it was supposed to be under Debbie's post. C'mon Rob I have head troubles as it is, don't go confussing me

Susan Maria - OH member has one coming out soon, check her website, I think you can pre-order at this time: http://store.bariatriceating.com/buybobeandaf.html This lady Barbara Thompson had surgery & made her own website & has a book - http://www.wlscenter.com/ Or if you don't want to pay money for a book. Just type WLS or other key words into search engines & you will find many many resources and sites to help you out. You will find stories , good & bad. There is a wealth of information right here on OH if you look arount too. Good luck.

Hi, I read the Barbara Thompson book. I found it to be 90% in line with what my surgeon and PMRI teaches us. I thought it was helpful. yeah Rob.. whats up?? LOL Tina

Geesh Rob! you had me going crazy trying to figure out what you were talking about....LOL Shay a/k/a Snuggles P.S. Thanks guys/gals for the book response......Tina I think I am going to get that book. I've heard good feedback on her book. Thanks.

I bought Carnie Wilson's book "I'm still Hungry" last night. Its a quick read..and very good about showing and explaining some of the emotional issues. I bought it in hardback..but was told it was coming out in June in paperback. Kimberly
