Regain Be Gone: 12 Strategies to Maintain the Body You Earned After Bariatric Surgery

I had vertical sleeve surgery about two years ago. I haven’t met my goal yet , but I’ve lost over 75lbs. This book is another tool that will help me to be successful in reaching my goal. This book not only focuses upon what and what not to eat... it also touches upon the mindset and emotions associated with the journey of weight loss surgery.Sameera Khan is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about nutrition and weight loss. She has dedicated her life to helping people change theirs for the better. I have battled with weight issues all my life and I’ve personally benefited from Sameera’s guidance and knowledge. I’ve learned how to manage what I am eating, how and when to exercise, and most importantly how to handle those triggers that have made my weight loss unsuccessful in the past.This is book is a vital tool that will help me to become another success story!!

Author sends a real message of hope. Just wish the issues of hormones were included. Many have surgery and have had a thyroid or endocrine issue prior, that is never addressed. Often people of color do not do well with bariatric surgeries not to mention- stomach do stretch out over time- another issue, no one is talking about!

I had the gastric sleeve surgery in Sept 2016 and had a fast then slow intermediate weight loss and felt great but slipped last year and regained 27 lbs. The emotional struggle I have felt gaining I could not put into words and was actually ashamed of myself. This book has effectively expressed what I couldn't and still cannot verbalize. Reading it helps me know I am not alone in my feelings, fears and hope's of change. Working with the tools given to me is helping me have the mindset to regain control over myself.

A huge thank you to the author for providing weight-loss surgery patients and their providers with such a wonderful tool! Ms. Khan’s extensive experience working with patients and her passion for leading them to success to reach and maintain their goal is evident. This book is not only well written, filled with useful strategies, and backed by medical science, it is much needed in the Bariatric specialty. I think the book has great application and can see it as excellent curriculum for use in support groups. I am grateful to have this useful book in my toolbox!

I had gastric sleeve surgery about 2 years ago. And, like most people, I have my ups and downs. This book is a godsend.Sameera Khan has written a book about things we know but definitely need to be reminded of. We needed a book devoted to bariatric surgery patients.This book in plain common sense language that is easy for us to read shows us that we don't need to give up if we're backslide a little.Thank you for this amazing book. It's a very welcome addition to my library.

Sameera Khan hit it out of the park, she touched on every single point, answered the questions we all have, she tells you exactly what to do and how to do it to have success in reaching our goals of weight loss, better health and having the fabulous and fulfilling life we've all dreamed of. The book is geared to pre-oppers as well as post-oppers. The personal stories are inspiring, motivating and touch home. Thank you Sameera for sharing your knowledge your time your kindness to all of us.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to finally win the weight loss battle. It is a gift that keeps on giving clarity, hope and strength to bariatric patients, both before and after surgery. It takes the mystery out of weight loss and regain, explaining exactly how our bodies work and it also addresses how to handle the many emotional and physical challenges of overcoming a lifetime of obesity. In short, it gives a comprehensive road map showing how to accomplish what may have seemed impossible previously, and does so in a warmly supportive way. The patient stories at chapter ends are encouraging views into differing roads towards success. I began reading this book weighed down by self doubt and ended it with a strong feeling of "I've got this!"

Regain Be Gone will be your guide every step of the way to make a smooth successful transition into post-surgery life. Along with explaining the main reasons for post surgical weight gain Sameera has also included lifestyle changes, behavioral changes and adjustments to your eating and exercise habits that will enable you to achieve the best possible results after the procedure. The patient testimonials were so inspiring and motivating. An absolute must read! Thank you Sameera!

From the straight up misinformation (lemon water to boost metabolism?? Fatburners? Detoxes? Really?) to the fear mongering language used in this book, I really don't understand how this author published this is 2020. So out of touch.
