By	D. Sanchez - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book truly changed my life after surgery almost two years ago. It taught me how I needed to use this opportunity that was given me by having weight loss surgery. I now know what I need to do to make the most out of this procedure and be successful.

I am grateful for my surgeons skilled hands but will be forever indebted to the wonderful insight of Colleen and her book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Success Habits of Weight-Loss Surgery Patients, April 2, 2005

By	Michaele P. Gatheridge "The New Me" (Peachtree City, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a must for anyone having WLS. There are so many things that we seem to forget as we go through the process of "dieting". This is a life style change that effects everyone in the family. It is not a "diet" it is a new way a living. Where food is not the center but the fuel for the body. Colleen gives us great examples and goal setting techniques that I have never thought about. Great Book for anyone at any stage of the "new life".

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book Full of Practical Information, March 8, 2006

By	Katie Jay (Sterling, VA, USA) - See all my reviews

Colleen Cook's book is an excellent resource for people who are either considering weight loss surgery or who have already had the surgery. As the director of the National Association for Weight Loss Surgery (www.nawls.com), I talk to people every day who are struggling with long-term WLS success. This is one of the best books I've read on how to be successful. I found the information to be practical and very useful. I apply Colleen's lessons to my WLS recovery every day.
