I know many of you are fond of the WLS for dummies book... In fact I purchased it on everyone's recommendations. It is great!

I also ordered WLS recipes for dummies and was not disappointed! It is not just a recipe book, but it talks about the many challenges faced with after surgery eating. Very well put together.

So, if you are looking for great, high protein, recipes AND support for the eating challenges that come after surgery, as well as how to prep your kitchen before hand... You'll love this book! (at least I do!)

Thanks, Becca for the info! I have now ordered them for my eReader. That way I can have all my books for reading during my stay in the hospital on my Nook. I have about 90 books total. Some have been read. I have been downloading books like crazy so that I have them all ready.

No wonder my back was hurting all the time...It was from carrying around 20 books from the library on top of school books...LOL. My son's school has gone to the iPad for all his school books. Kids have it easy now...LOL

Thanks again Becca!
