Good Books on WLS?
Lisa
I enjoyed reading Before and After by Susan Maria Leach. She's 6-7 years out from surgery and if has her story, lots of recipes and ways she was able to keep her weight off. She also has a website BariatricEating.com. I've enjoyed reading the info and getting more recipes from her. I also purchased the WLS for Dummies book. It also had some ideas in it. I bought both of these at Borders. Hope it helps.

Pre op I read "The Real Skinny on Weight Loss Surgery" I don't remember how much was focused on maintaining post op - but I do know the women are successful in their journies, the book was a FABULOUS read, and they were hysterical.
If you find any other good ones, let us know!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
Lisa,
I think I found it in the health or diet section of Borders. They had to order the Before and After book for me though, but it didn't even take a week to get it. It's also a good read. I think I might check out some of these other titles also. Thanks for asking the question.

Hi Lisa!
This isn't a WLS book, but one book I can definitely recommend to you is a book that Nicole Lewis recommended to me: The Beck Diet Solution, by Judith Beck. Judith Beck is a psychologist and her father Aaron Beck is the founder of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The book is not a diet itself -- it simply allows you to work with any eating plan and teaches you how to change the way you think about food and exercise and even slip-ups. The majority of the book is meant to be read a little each day, over the course of 6 weeks, and I really found it very helpful. In fact, I just recently started to re-read it again, so if you felt it was something you wanted to buy and read, we could definitely read it together and discuss!
On a different note, how are you feeling this week?
Thinking of you,
Lisa :)
