books
Hi. I am getting the sleeve in about a month. Did anyone read any books that they would suggest for others to read that had the sleeve or are getting it? I have seen some books online about it, and they have very good reviews, but I think it's always good to get another opinion from someone who has read the books directly.
The psychologist that works with my surgeons program recommends reading The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person
I just read Jen Larsen's Stranger Here about her bariatric weight loss journey and found it interesting.
I also ordered the book you see advertised here, Successful Weight Loss with the Gastric Sleeve by Dr. Guillermo Alvarez. It's a short book but packed with useful information for pre and post-op. I've not had my surgery yet but I plan on keeping this book close at hand once I do. http://www.thegastricsleeve.com/
Best of luck to you!

You must permanently change your lifestyle if you want your weight loss to be permanent. You can do it!
The first book I read about vsg was The Sleeved Life by Pennie Nicola. It's a basic overall account of the surgery and living with the sleeve. It was okay, most everything in the book I had already known and researched.
If you want to really delve into nutrition and a further understanding of obesity, I would highly recommend Why Calories Count by Nestle & Neishem. The authors do a really good job of reviewing all of the existing research...it's not another diet book.
I have also recently picked up The End of Overeating by Kessler and What to Eat by Nestle.
