  - Fat Gone, Feelings OnApplause to Paula Peck for a valuable guide that completes the journey toward whole person wellness. Her Guide completes the intangible spectrum of our relationship to food and feelings that many of the profit-making, medical systems leave out. Paula addresses the big-hit surprises and potentially destructive manifestations of body image change, sexuality, and resentments toward fat prejudice, just to name a few. She emphasizes what's possible and how to handle the range of "surprises" on going with humour, wisdom, and empathic understanding. I'm a person, who has recovered from obesity, but not the attraction to food-as-love and comfort. Thank you, Paula, for emphasizing the lifetime hold this challenge has; and the lifetime dedication it takes to succeed post-op. I've been facilitating groups and doing individual consultation for almost 15 years with clients/patients, who have found the promise of life renewed with gastic bypass and other weight-loss surgical procedures. Then, the fantasy fog (I'm a San Franciscan) lifts. The pounds creep back, along with severe self-blame, self-humiliation, and shame. Powerlessness to control the "slide", isolation, and ultimately depression. Why? The "rennovation" takes place on the outside; but the heart, soul, and emotions are never addressed...until now. I've recommend this book to my clients; and even keep one in the waiting room of our professional group. It's ongoing support strategic, compassionate support in print. Rating: - A very thoughtful read for pre-op I have been trying to gain as much information and insite to the Gastric Bypass I am going to have and how I got here. This book is very good. It has assignments at the end of chapters to do things like "write a "Dear Me" letter" pre-surgery to read later and see how far you have come. It does deal with a lot of pre-op. Not a whole lot post op. But maybe since I'm pre-op I am not picking up on the post op so much. She's very candid and this being the 3rd book I've read on the topic has things to say that I have no read before and I'm glad I did. Rating: - AwesomeI would reccommend this book to anyone thinking about Gastric Bypass surgery. I had it 3 years ago and have lost 303 pounds. I would do it again in a heartbeat. This book is very informative about all the questions that you will have and ways to use them through out the rest of your journey. Kema Rating:  - EXODUS FROM OBESITYTHIS BOOK WAS GREAT . I READ BEFORE MY SURGRY AND THEN AGAIN AFTER. IT ANSWERS MANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS BEFORE AND AFTER SURGRY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR ANYONE ABOUT TO ADVENTURE ON THIS NEW WAY OF LIVING. MALHALO, VICKI BARDOS Rating:  - Everything your surgeon should have told youFirst, the title is misleading because the book deals with pre-surgery nearly as much as post-surgery issues. If you had surgery through a decent program, your surgeon or program staff should have already told you most of what Peck covers. If you are looking for that information in book form, this is for you. If you are looking for additional information, there are other, more relevant books out there. |
