Anyone have any good books they have read about VSG surgery?  I research like crazy on the internet, but wondering if anyone has any good book recs?

"Ultimate Gastric Sleeve Success" by Duc Vuong, MD (This one is my favorite.)

"Refuse to Regain!" by Barbara Berkeley (This book is intended for those who have reached their goal weight, but nearly all the information is valuable to those who are still losing.)

"Eat for Health" by Joel Fuhrman MD (Deals with good nutrition in general; some adaptation is necessary for sleevers.)

"The BIG Book on the Gastric Sleeve" by Alex Brecher and Natalie Stein

"50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food" by Susan Albers

"Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease" by Robert H. Lustig, MD

"A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy" by William B. Irvine (About meditation, not the sleeve or nutrition, but very helpful in achieving tranquility and not letting life's setbacks set us back.)

"Of Parrots and People: The Sometimes Funny, Always Fascinating, and Often Catastrophic Collision of Two Intelligent Species" by Mira Tweti (Has nothing to do with the sleeve, nutrition, or meditation. Just a good read about parrots, who are dear to my heart.)

I had a book recommended to me the other day. It's called "Don't diet live it!" It's actually a workbook. It's not on the sleeve surgery though, it's on obesity. I don't have any feedback on it because I just ordered it yesterday and actually found it dirt cheap online. Once I receive it, I can give you my opinion.
