Good read, very inspiring May 21, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I really enjoyed this book. Unlike some other reviews I don't think that she came across snobby or stuck up or full of herself. I think she came across as a woman who had finally gained confidence and was finally getting a chance to experience life! Yes, she has money and therefor has the means to travel and go shopping and throw parties, but that shouldn't be a reason to not like this book. Susan Leach worked hard to achieve her goal, and I think her story was very inspiring. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because I wish the book had been longer. Half of the book is recipes and I think she should have maybe only had 1/3 be recipes, and then most of the book devoted to her weight loss story. I think the only reason people don't like this book is because they are jealous of her life style. But I for one, really enjoyed it and it inspired me a great deal. I recommend it.

Good book for anyone that wants to get a realistic view of Bariatric (Lapband) surgery and the food you can eat.

It was great to read about how she went thru the transition after the surgey and also the meals suggestion recipes are helpful to.

This was quite a good book, I started reading it a day after lap-band surgery and it really was better than the advice I got from my doctor and dietician for post operative care, and while you are laying there thinking oh god what have I done, there is a light at the end of the tunnel with this book that you will be able to eat great food again, just not the whole plate.

She makes it very obvious that she has money. Talks about fancy dinners out, fancy clothes, jewelry, trips.
What I was looking for was more information on what it is like to go through the surgery and dealing with the diet afterwards.
The author had a perfect recovery, everything was perfect and of course she has the perfect supplements to sell you on her web site.
I felt this book was not helpful to me. In fact I've already given it away.
