Great Book

Beyond the Refrigerator - Navigating Life After Weight-Loss Surgery (by Linda Ouellette).  Great little book that just happened upon, hit a nerve with me because the author discusses her emotional journey after WLS with regards to eating, emotional eating, addictive behaviors, etc. 

I bought my copy from amazon.ca

Thanks for the recommendation!  I will pick it up.  I also read a book called "Stranger Here" by Jen Larsen.  I recommend that too.

OMG... I loved Jen's book!  It was so refreshingly honest!

I am a little past half way through Jen Larsen's "Stranger Here" and it is a good read and I recommend it as well.

Definitely going to look into both books. Thanks to all for the tips. It's after the surgery where a lifetime of smart decisions need to be made and those have traditionally been the most difficult for me. Don't want to waste this opportunity! Thanks again
