Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. Not too much jargon use..so it is an easy read! And very informational...I learned alot of things that are going to help me be successful with my surgery! ( ) I recieved this book from a friend when I was considering weight loss surgery. I decided not to have the surgery, but follow the eating principals in this book and excersising regularly. So far I started on Valentines Day 2008 and now, 9 months later its the middle of October and I have lost just about 65 pounds and counting. Thanks Susan Maria. Incredibly heart-felt and encouraging. I finished this book thinking, "yes, I CAN do this!!" It was a joy to read since the first part is the author's own journal that she kept while undergoing WLS and it was wonderful to hear such an in-depth account from someone who has "been there and done that". In addition to many recipes, Susan Maria Leach also makes a plethora of recommendations for snacks and protein sources, which is very helpful. This is one that I will keep throughout my WLS journey and will refer to again and again. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
At 278 pounds, Susan Maria Leach couldn't lie in bed without gasping for air, wasn't able to fit into a restaurant booth, and could barely buckle the belt in an airplane seat. It would have been easier to allow life to pass her by than to continue fighting her weight problem, but she made the difficult decision to take back control. In 2001, Susan underwent gastric bypass surgery and started on a journey that would not only cut her body weight in half but would change her life. Before & After is both a memoir and a cookbook--an intimate account of Leach's own transformation as well as a guide for those who have undergone or are considering the procedure. As Leach has learned in the six years since her operation, weight-loss surgery is not an event with a finish line or a goal weight--it is the beginning of a new way of life. This edition of Before & After has been updated with all that Leach has learned on her post-op journey. It includes a foreword by Leach's surgeon, advice from a nutritionist, answers to more frequently asked questions about weight-loss surgery, a whole chapter on meal plans for different post-operative stages, suggested menus for early food stages, additional questions and answers affecting longer-term post-ops, and new information about products that have entered the marketplace. Most notably, this edition showcases a wealth of new recipes that utilize the latest in light and healthy ingredients for smart and savory results, including everything from Asian Meatballs with Peanut Sauce and Turkey Tenderloin with Apple Chipotle Chutney to sugar-free Pistachio Gelato and Lemon Almond Sponge Cake. Each recipe makes about four servings, but includes a measured serving for WLS people along with a calorie/carb/fat/protein count. Leach has recipes for every step of the way, from tastes-like-the-real-thing milk shakes for those first post-op days to an entire Thanksgiving menu. Before & After is a journal of Leach's own inspirational story, where she shares her ups and downs, her tips and techniques, but mostly it's a book of hope for anyone who has a serious weight problem.
