It's finally here! A one-stop resource for people considering gastric bypass surgery (GBS)! I wrote READY, Set, shrink! after my own frustrating experience in finding more questions than answers as I readied myself for the life-altering operation. I couldn't find one resource that walked me through it, or that answered all of the questions that I had. I needed to prepare myself, and I needed to know how I was going to merge the rest of my life with my new post-surgery needs. The books that were on the market were either discussions of the pros and cons of the various surgical options, cookbooks, or someone else's diary of their journey from fat to thin. This was NOT what I was looking for! I wanted a more realistic how-to book which I discovered did not exist, so I wrote it myself!
I am now enjoying everything life has to offer without having to second-guess whether or not a situation would be a "challenge" for me because of my size! Like the song says, "When you get a choice to sit it out or dance -- I hope you dance!" And that's exactly what I intend to do for the rest of my long and healthy life!
