  - Emotional First Aid KitThe Emotional First Aid Kit: A Practical Guide to Life After Bariatric Surgery I am absolutely thrilled with this book. I had bariatric surgery nearly two years ago and recently found myself falling into some of my old habits. When I located this book, I thought it might not help, but couldn't hurt. This book is jam-packed with relevant information for before and after surgery. Some chapter titles are: Stress Relief and Comfort Without Food; Beginning a Consistent Exercise Program; Behavior Modification; and Weight Maintenance. The chapters have lists of tips and some have an activity that helps to see where I am going wrong. This is the best book regarding bariatric surgery that I have read, and I have bought and read many! Rating: - A MUST read for pre-bariatric patients!!!I only wish I had this book prior to my surgery. It would have been a great help. That said, I do highly reccommend anyone considering WLS to pick this book up. Anyone in general wanting to turn over a new leaf and taking control of their weight should also read this book. It was great in helping me understand what trigged my eating and how to avoid making the same mistakes post-surgery that I had been making pre-surgery. The text is easy to follow, makes sense, and isn't sugar coated in that patronizing way someone who has never had a weight problem uses when tallking to the weight challenged. Definitely worth the price. Rating: - Great little book.This was a concise book and good read - it reminds you of a lot things and emphasizes some others. Rating: - Great BookThis is really a great book. It is essential for everyone who has just undergone bariatric surgery to get this. Rating:  - Not what we were looking forI think this is an ok book, but it was not what we were looking for. My mother recently had a gastric bypass and I purchased this book for her pre-op. It is geared more towards people who are thinking about having it, or people that have fallen off the wagon. If have done any research at all, this book, will just be a review for you. If you are dieting or are a few years out from your surgery, this has some good tips/tricks for staying on the diet, but nothing you probably haven't heard before. |
