OK getting excited. My birthdays is Dec. 23
Surgery is set for Dec.30 I wanted to buy myself a book to read about the before and after experience of WLS. I have heard the Weight Loss Surgery For Dummies is a good book.
Any recommendation before I purchase this book today.

Congrats on your upcoming date! Like Dedee, I too have heard that this is a good book...I guess I am going to have to buy it and read it and maybe it will help me with my recommittment to WLS.

Congrats on your upcoming big day!

I haven't read the book but I think it's an excellent choice for passing the time after your WL surgery. That was a hard time for me and filling those hours of recovery with encouragement from that book will be VERY beneficial!

I bought the book and it was okay. It does have helpful tips and suggestions.I still think I learned more on oh and search engines and meetings...if I knew were it was

I would send it to you! Your getting the best Xmas gift ever! My suggestion for a great gift would be a really nice blender.

I just bought the book. The blender is a great idea and a food processor.
