I love the idea of cups for measuring, picked up a set from Lakeland (love that shop!) for just over a fiver and really recommend it. Now I look for US recipes instead of UK so I do'nt have the drag the scales/measuring jugs/spoons out the cupboard.
Am thinking of getting the one for Dummies I think!

A great book that has helped me a lot is the emotional first aid kit by Cynthia Alexander is has been a fantastic practical guide and motivator. I am finding that as I struggle with the liver reduction diet a few pages get me back on track.

Hi Mio
i now have the weight loss for dummies book, and its really good... another good buy xx

Tried both of those the emotional first aid kit I mentioned a few months back and even my dietitian took the details to read & see if worth recommending as she was impressed by what she saw. It's sort of a 24/7 support guide of how to beat those demons as the fight their final fight to stop is learning new ways to deal with them. I think it's great. Well worth a read, especially if you're not one of those who opens up easily when you're struggling.

Mio, just watch the American, Australian and British cup measurements are different I think.

Which is fine if it is all cups, but when you start adding fluids or grammes it can go a bit askew.

Big Dave recommended a book 'The emotional first aid kit,life after bariatric surgery', so I downloaded it to my Kindle. I was up half the night reading it.

Its really good (and I read a lot of books about it) but this is the best.
It's really motivating.
Thanks Dave

Bought the emotional first aid kit and it's raelly helpful and interesting - even though it's written for bypass patients (which I didn't realise) a lot of it is still relevant for banders. It's making interesting reading, that's for sure!

Awh - thanks for letting me know! I have a set of US cups and am used to using them (actually prefer them tbh, so was happy it was US measurements - just so much easier to use!)
Had the recipe book delivered to my mum, as I'm staying there a while after my op, and she said it was really interesting! Can't wait to have a look myself *lol*

OK that is fine as most of the weight loss surgery books bar one I think is in American cups, so you will be fine.

I just know I had a lot of Woman's weekly recipe books and they were in Australian cups, and I had British ones. Still all the books are going to the charity shop now!
