As a pre op, I am trying to get the most information possible to prepare myself for the lifestyle change ahead.

Beyond this board and my local support group, I am looking to obtain any reading information (books or websites) in which I am able to "research" the upcoming surgery.

Any suggestions would be a great help!

I think that Kelly and Dawn had some great suggestions. I would also suggest the Beck Diet Solution by Judith Beck, Winning after Losing by Stacey Halprin, Weight! That's Not The Issue by Dawn Adams, Weight Loss Surgery by Barbara Thompson, (she also co-authored WLS for Dummies).

I wish you all the best in your journey,
