Links

Here are a few links I've collected... Informational Sites:

A Lifeline to other WLS pre and post-ops, tons of excellent firsthand information and support!
OSSG

Where I had my surgery:
Alvarado Center for Surgical Weight Loss

Here's a link to Spotlight Health.com. This is where I learned about Carnie Wilson's story, surgery, the procedure (on video, no less!), and gained some courage to have this done myself. Click on the "Morbid Obesity" link
www.spotlighthealth.com

Another WLS site, lots of good information, including post surgery diet. Check out the "Keys to Success":
www.sabariatric.com

Great website for information, doctors and profiles of other WLS patients:
Obesityhelp.com


Exercise and Fitness:

A great magazine for Women's Fitness:
Oxygen Magazine

Great program for fitness. A little daunting for the beginner, but a solid program of weightlifting and cardio:
Body For Life


Protein Supplements:


VitaLady.com This is where I go to get all my protein supplements... She's a WLS patient herself!
VitaLady.com


Personal Sites:


http://www.headbattles.com/
Gina's site. I go here regularly to get a sip of GET ON IT. Gina's energy is amazing and she really lets it all hang out.

http://www.skankthatshrank.com/
Kristi's site. This chick kills me. Tells it like it is and sends me rolling.

Anita's site. Though she has not had WLS, she is fighting the good fight we all do with weight loss and is honest about managing her emotions along the way.
