Good evening!....

Was wondering what, if any, books you may have read to prep for the lifestyle and emotional changes that will be happening with being sleeved.

I have my 2nd psych evaluation tomorrow, my nutritionist evaluation next Thursday and my final fitness evaluation next Saturday. Finally, I will have a surgery educational class September 5th. Then it goes for insurance approval.

I have been watching you tube vlogs, reading the posts here and studying my papers from the surgeon. I am trying to do all the prep work I can to make sure I am hitting the ground well prepped once I get that surgery date!!

The psychologist that works with my surgeons group highly recommends all of his patients read The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person  I know a lot of people on OH have read it and recommend it as well. Good Luck!!!

"Weight loss surgery for dummies".  "Weight loss surgery cookbook for dummies"  and "Eating well after weight loss surgery"  Obviously, I'm a dummy who wants to know specifically what I can eat afterwards  Surgery on 8/19.

I just read Jen Larsen's Stranger Here about her bariatric weight loss journey and found it interesting.

 I also read 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/
