Eat it Up! - A must have in your post op resources!

I have always viewed the choice to have weight loss surgery as a lifelong life style change. For me this life style change affects us not just physically but also mentally and spiritually. After years of obesity how many times did we attempt diet after diet, have weight loss only to gain more back ? Many of us still have a healthy fear of weight regain in our post op lives. We need resources and professionals that recognize those fears and give us the support we truly deserve.

This book was written by Dr. Connie Stapleton who is one of the most supportive/positive/inspiring professionals I’ve met in our bariatric community.

She has a profound knowledge of the psychological struggles we face and has provided us with additional insight and strategies to overcome our barriers. She recognizes the need for a comprehensive approach to mind/body/spirit as a whole.

I highly recommend this book for all post-op patients no matter where you are in your journey.

I am a resource junkie and feel like you can never have enough resources/support in our weight loss journey! By clicking on the link below and scrolling down you will find information on Dr. Stapleton's book. While you are there check out the other additional resources for patients/professionals in the bariatric community.

**Side note this is also a PERFECT gift idea for any weight loss surgery patient**

One of my favorite resources in the bariatric community..

As a weight loss surgery patient I am a fanatic about support and using every resource available to me. One of those resources has always been Obesity Help where I have been a member since 2006. OH gives us a place to go for support on all levels. You can choose to reach out to other WLS friends through the main forum /state forums and even local support groups that have been set up by Obesity Help support group leaders like me.

Another level of support they offer is the OH Magazine which is published 6 times a year and includes a wealth of information. In the magazine you will find personal weight loss journeys from your fellow WLS friends, WOW moments, before & after pictures, articles from professionals who support all of us in the bariatric community, information on bariatric friendly products/fitness/recipes and one of my favorites the OH event information.

Look on the right side of the blog for the offer and discount code for a 1-year subscription.

I encourage all of you no matter where you are in your journey to take a moment and check out this resource which is a wealth of information and support for you.
