It's not a book, but rather an article. You can read it here:

I am 9 months out and still refer back to it from time to time. I see
someone gave you a site to go to if that doesn't have it let me know there
is a member that has it on her profile I just printed it out today since I
can't find my copy. I think we all need to reread it from time to time.
Good luck

The "pouch rules for dummies" DO NOT APPLY TO NEWBIES~ It is
designed for peoplel +6 months out- when you hunger/appetite returns-
At 13 DAYS post op you should be following your doctors recommendations!~

I totally understand your frustration. You sound like I did. What helped me
more than anything was the book by Barbara Thompson. "WLS:Finding the
Thin Person Within". You also should have access to a nutritionist. I
promise it gets better! : ) I am 4 months out, have lost 79lbs and would
do it again and again if I had to! Best of Luck!

I heard that the pouch rules don't apply until you're a year out from wls.

"Pouch Rules..." is not for newbies. You will find more
information on what you should eat and vitimins in the Library section of
this website. Good luck to you.
