The author's relating her experience with weight loss surgery is very good, informative and easy to relate to if you have undergone the surgery. The recipes are interesting, but there is too much emphasis on cooking as if you lived in Florida. Still and all there is something for all tastes and while some of the recipes are a tad involved they are worth trying. While I'd love to make some of the recipes I live in a land locked state where fresh fish is not an option; but if you are willing to pay the price for fish flown in then by all means try a few.

This book is far more helpful than the book that my surgeon recommended or the one that my nutritionist gave me. This book has realistic recipes, common ingredients, preparation instructions. The author also gives reasons for why she uses certain ingredients or methods - things that apply to bariatric patients and their needs. Her story of her own weight loss success is encouraging and gives practical guidance to readers on the same journey.

I borrowed this book for my surgery and I loved it but I had to give it back now I am fighting a regain and finding this book will help me to stay on track. I was offered for a reduced price (lucky for me) so I ordered it and it came in 2 days since I have taken advantage of my amazon prime try out.

As someone who has had bypass surgery, I found this book helpful in suggesting types of variety to my menu. The recipes look good, but the best part for me was the reminder of the options that are still open to me without violating my dietary guidelines.

This book is mainly written for those who had the RNY surgery. But her Susan's insight on what to order, when eating out our invaluable. The recipes are fantastic.So this is a good book for RNY, and Bandsters alike.

If you are thinking of having Bariatric surgery or are post-op, this book is a MUST-HAVE"! Not only is it filled with over 100 easy to prepare recipes that are especially for bariatric patients,; it is also the story of one woman, Susan Marie Leach's journey with her weight loss. It is a story of courage and commitment.

This is a good book if you want to read a good weigh loss surgery story but not so much for the recipes.It does not have pictures which is a minus for me.

A strikingly honest account of one woman's experience of gastric bypass surgery which explains why she went for it and how it affected her. My sole reservation would be that she seemed very fortunate in not having a single negative side effect but her enthusiasm is encouraging to anyone considering a similiar option. The recipes created to ensure she consumed sufficient protein after surgery when she was only able to eat tiny portions are excellent.
