Weight loss surgery is a big deal, but it is only an early step in your weight loss journey. The long-term weight loss journey begins after the surgery, and it lasts for a lifetime. The Big Book on Bariatric Surgery: Living Your Best Life After Weight Loss Surgery is your guide to losing weight and living a healthy life long after you are discharged from the hospital and are on your own.
This audiobook takes a realistic approach to life after weight loss surgery. In a friendly and helpful tone, the audiobook provides practical advice on getting through everyday tasks, such as planning meals, getting enough protein, taking the right nutritional supplements, and developing an exercise program.

First of all, you should understand that it is not only weight loss we are talking about here. Yes, normal weight is important for overall health, but it is, for sure, not the only factor that describes a fit person. The reason I talk about it is because there are healthy and unhealthy diets that will make you lose weight, and you want to pick “healthy” every time. Keto, paleo, or Atkins diet are not even familiar to overall health and longevity. Science has already proved that these diets can be extremely toxic and unhealthy for most people.

Missing Important Info
What disappointed you about The BIG Book on Bariatric Surgery: Living Your Best Life After Weight Loss Surgery?
My main and only complaint is that the download companion pdf is not available for this book through audible. It is very frustrating that the author refers to the guide throughout the book and I am not able to follow along. The information in the book is awesome and would be so much more help and practical if the download were available.
