I think you would enjoy it Yes, I am ready, I had about a year to prepare for this, I don't think I would have been ready then. I have learned so much, I feel now that I have totally changed the way I think of food, like eating waay healthier than I ever have and seeing it as regular healthy eating and not just a temporary diet and being more active. My hubby actually told me yesterday, That he is really proud of me for all the progress I have made, he says that he notices that I am sooo much happier and that I wake up more easier instead of having a hard time waking up as I always have and he says he notices my energy level is way higher and this is just with about 15 lbs that I have lost. It helps me look forward to when I am post op even more How about you? Are you ready?

 Yep, I am as ready as I will ever be.The only thing that will make me mad is if science discovers it's good to be overweight.... My wife is supportive and is helping. Can't wait to have this done...

 After reading your post I rememberd that I have this book, I read it 6 years ago when I was considering a lap band, so I went and read it again today (in one seating). Thanks for bringing it up, it does have a lot of good info!

Good luck with your surgery! Mine is not till September, I can't wai.

Someone here recomended that I pick up the Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook for Dummies, which I'm reading now. EXTREMELY good. One of the writers is a chef who had bariatric surgery so he KNOWS.

I'm going to recommend my husband read it because it talks alot about smart eating in general.

Yes, it is good. I believe one of the other writers is a bariatric surgeon too
