book for those just starting your journey

 i discovered a book at chapters last night, and am totally excited about it! its called the weight loss surgery workbook. by doreen a. samelson. it has 3 parts, 1- deciding on bariatric surgery, 2- preparing for the procedure, and 3- changing habits for post surgery success. Its an actual workbook to help you choose the right surgery for you, and help you stay focused pre and post op. 
 for those, who are like me, just begining this wild ride, and need help getting your head straight, i highly recommend this book.
hugs to all!

 I also kept and reread all my handouts from all the Weight Wise modules (I completed all the modules available, not just the required 4). I found it to be helpful to refresh mind.
