Immerse In The Emotional First Aid Kit: A Practical Guide To Life After Bariatric Surgery Created By Cynthia L. Alexander File Digital Edition

think this book will help keep me sane, It's got good advice on how to psychologically manage life change and would probably be suitable for anyone changing their way of eating surgically or otherwise, I thought this book was amazing!! Had a lot of good information, resources and tips, I truly believe this book should be handed out to all the patient's attending the RAH, Weight Wise Clinic, Very good resource. It was short and to the point but packed with lots of useful information, There were real life examples/stories in each section which were helpful as well, Sometimes straightforward and nononsense is just what the doctor ordered, Lots of good advice. I think it would also be a good read for supporting family members to get an idea of all that the decision to have bariatric surgery entails and then how to help the patient post surgery.
I'm getting bariatric surgery this summer and this book, while not necessarily telling me much I didn't know, was a nice repository of information in a wellorganized place.
It has all kinds of good advice and I'd definitely recommend it to others, A very good book for people considering surgery,
And also a very good book for postsurgery,

I've had early regain and this book has been a good reminder about broken habits and what I need to do in order to return to a healthier life.
It's all in your head,
You're welcome. If you are considering bariatric surgery, or have had bariatric surgery, this book is a great reference, It also has a lot of references you can look up, I wish I had followed the psychologist request to read this before surgery, It really does help make the deciding process clear and help work through if this is right, It also gives good tips on how to succeed from surgery, and figure it what you need to work on changing before surgery to make a more successful outcome.
Good read

An excellent resource for anyone considering weight loss surgery, Many pages were highlighted in my copy! I high!y recommend it, must read either bariatric candidates or treating team, . very helpful amp easy. . I keep coming back to it every now and then, . love it. Useful. Short and sweet.

This book has been immensely helpful in helping me prepare for bariatric sleeve surgery, I was able to identify behaviours and was made aware of better ways of thinking in terms of eating, I am more empowered now with my decision, great considerations

I learned several useful tools for continued success! I will definitely consider using some of the suggestions from this book and appreciated the multiple scenarios in the text.
His All The Marks

This book covered all the struggles one will face with bariatric surgery, It helped me realize how much of a struggle it will always be and that I have a huge responsibility for my success, There is no sugar coating, pun intended,

but the surgery does provide a leg up and a head start, I appreciated all the psycho social aspects backed up with real people's experiences Very nononsense bracing rather than supportive, which is not in itself a bad thing.
Still, glad I also have human support at first hand this is in no way a substitute for that, There's plenty of solid advice here nothing you don't also pick up from various other support sources, but it's useful to have it condensed in one place.
A must read for those considering bariatric surgery, Brings up great questions to discuss before the procedure and stresses that while one goes through this major change there is support, Another must read before WLS Written by Cynthia L, Alexander, PsyD
