I am coming up on my one year anniversary and really feel the need for some inspiration, motivation and education.  I spent the months before surgery reading everything about WLS and the months following doing the same.  I want to embark on this next year with a similar mind frame.  I have 9 lbs to go until the goal I set with my doctor but need some help reaching the final goal and setting myself up for a lifetime of maintenance later.  Reading is always what helps me stay on track and get motivated so I would love a ton of book suggestions.

I bought, not too long ago, a WLS inspirational book and now I post a different one every day for another suport group I belong to, and they love them as I do. It's called:   Small Bites  Daily Inspirations for Weight Loss Surgery Patients by Katie Jay and Julia A. F. Persing. I highly recommend this to get you motivated and gives you some good advise on how to keep on track.
I only strive to be, the kind of person my dogs think I am!                               

Of the choices we are given, it's no choice at all....
