Suggestions for books?
Hello! Has anyone read "The Weight Loss Surgery Coping Companion: A Practical Guide for Coping with Post-Surgery Emotions by
BECK DIET SOLUTION : TRAIN YOUR BRAIN TO THINK LIKE A THIN PERSON by
Is there other books, cookbooks or references that you would recommend? I'm personally thinking that I will need help deal with the psychological aspect while in post-surgery as I know that part is greatly associated with why I gained weight in the first place. Although I now know that I can come in here anytime and post a question or ask for help and a bunch of you are always eager and generous of your time to help someone
Any input would be appreciated.

Not weight loss surgery specific but really just awesome is Slim by Design it's by the Dr that wrote Mindless Eating if you've seen that book which is also awesome but Slim by Design basically gives you little tips for changing your environment that if you put into practice you will save tons of calories a year (and so probably added pounds) all evidence based with the Cornell Food & Science Lab... really really interesting studies on our behaviors and how the environment around us... house, office, etc. affect us without us realizing. The author was a speaker at the Your Weight Matters National Convention last year and literally the day after I bought it.
I've had a couple friends refer me to Shrink Yourself -- I'll give it a try at some point but I will be doing what I can to see an actual therapist. Does your insurance cover therapy?
My surgeon's office gave a list of recommended reading as well but I haven't looked through it yet.

I just read Fresh Start Bariatric Cookbook by Sarah Kent. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1623157730/ref=oh_aui_deta ilpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has alot of info as well as great recipes with nutritional info. I was impressed. Read it cover to cover.
