Summary

An intimate guide to living and eating well after weight loss surgery, Before & After by Susan Maria Leach was nominated for three IACP awards-Best First Cookbook, Best Health & Diet Book, and Cookbook of the Year-when it was first published in 2005. Now, in its 2nd revised edition, Leach's essential guide-part memoir, part cookbook, part inspirational journey-has been updated with a new Q&A section, revised nutritional discussions, updated menus and meal plans, and more. Anyone who has undergone or is contemplating weight loss surgery can benefit from Leach's recipes, tips, and important information-and from the inspiring true story of how she has coped and thrived after gastric bypass surgery reduced her body weight by half.
