The guide begins before surgery: how to find a qualified surgeon, what the pre-operative diet involves, and what the day of the operation is like. It then turns to life afterwards, covering eating after the procedure, typical daily calorie intake, foods to avoid, portion size, managing hunger, the risk of the stomach stretching, and how to get past a plateau.
Later sections address vitamins, realistic expectations for weight loss, maintenance eating, and how common weight regain is. An updated edition brings the advice up to date.
