I brought it a while back with another called Gastric bypass surgery 150 Q&A's about it also has a few recipies and ideas for what to eat by Mary P. McGowan, another one I got was Eating well after WLS by Patt Levine and Michele Bontempo-Saray, a full on cook book with guidance on all the carbs, fats, proteins, and sugars plus guidance on when it is suitable to be eaten by each type of surgery, it looks great and I can't wait to try it once I have had my op.
Another one I got is Emotional first aid a practical guide to life after bariatric surgery by Cynthia L Alexander it has great insight into how to deal with all those personal demons that help us sabotague our weight loss efforts and how to use things to help us fight them or substitute them with positive coping statergies. The Dietitian took the details last week when I saw her to get her own copy to see if she could reccommend it to others. You may find it useful I am so far It's easy to dip back into to help when you have one of those moments that you need some support and self help..

i saw that on someones post and have ordered it ,( the first aid one,),,looks interesting, all this reading should fill those first few days after surgery,i hope! not long for us now penelope ,whoo hooo!

I'd be interested in buying this myself, can you tell me if there are any good vegetarian recipes in there? That's a problem I seem to face, there are lots of wls books out there, but very few dedicated to those of us that don't eat meat!

If you go on amazon they are on there and you can look inside them on screen to give you a taster.

I bought the book recently and find it informative but its a bit of pain as its geared for the American market, I have bought Return to Slender which is written by an english lady who was done by the Fat Doctor from TV, It is very good and informative, nice recipes for both veggies and non veggies and she uses english weights and measure. There is also a supporting website which is open to all at http://www.bariatriccookery.com. There you can get even more recipes and read experiences of others. Good Luck. xx
