I'm Still Hungry: Finding Myself Through Thick and Thin
B**C
so so
I really enjoyed reading about Carnie's experience because I have also had WLS. She offers great ideas, although I caution you that one should always talk to his/her own Dr. and not just taking her advice. Anyway, my complaint with her book is that she is sooooo inlove and sooooo happy all the time. It seems as if this was a panacea. Yes, I am happy and I have had great results from WLS, but it isn't all peaches and cream. In fact, there are many days that I don't even want to face the world. She seems to glamorize the surgery too much and she talks about her wonderful, fantastic, amazing husband too much! Enough already- we get it you're happy!

great insight to emotional aspect
this book showed an honest insight into the emotions you deal with going through gastric bypass. she is very focused on herself and her appearance. but you have to remember she was a young woman and this was before she had children. even still i was able to relate to carnie and the message of her book. she minced no words. there are pros and cons to this entire journey...and it is different for everyone. her story is simply that....HER story. i am not basing my decisions on the data in this book...but it has given me insight into what to expect during the trip! good job carnie!

Unnecessary continuation of her autobiography.

Great information and very entertaining
I recommend this book to anyone interested in WLS surgery, or knows someone who is having it. Carnie gives great information on what to expect after surgery, how she coped with issues the doctors don't talk about and kept me uplifted and excited about having my surgery. It was a quick easy read and I plan on having my husband read it so he will understand how and why I am choosing to do WLS.

Carnie makes me laugh....
Carnie Wilson always entertains. I enjoy her outlook on life and always am entertained when I see her, read her works, watch her reality shows or listen to her music. This book talks about her life after the WLS. It was years ago and we know she gains the weight back and has another surgery, but I enjoyed the read.
