Now It'S Mary'S Turn: Year One

You'd think working with some of Bariatric Surgery's best surgeons, physicians, psychologists, dietitians and nurses for ten years would have been all Mary needed to have a successful first year after her own surgery. But it wasn't. Only three months into her journey, Mary's husband delivered a blow that changed her life forever. "Now It's Mary's Turn - Year One," doesn't contain menu plans, recipes, a list of favorite vitamins or recommendations on how to choose the best procedure. Instead, you follow Mary's evolution as she discovers the courage within herself to deal with the aftermath of her husband's confession while doing everything she can to make the most of her weight loss surgery. "It turns out the hardest work to do after weight loss surgery is within ourselves." You may not experience the same kind of major upheaval or be faced with it so soon after surgery, but eventually life happens to all of us. Mary's personal stories are powerful proof that thriving after weight loss surgery is possible even in the midst of turmoil. "I learned about self-compassion and found the courage to make a heart and mindset shift about situations, people, and myself." Mary's unique perspective as a 10-year weight loss surgery educator and advocate, first year post-op patient, and a woman creating a new life for herself and her children makes "Now It's Mary's Turn - Year One," a must read for every weight loss surgery patient, in every stage of the journey.
