Insightful and unsparing in her self-examination, Larsen depicts the exhilarating highs and devastating lows she experienced as a result of her weight loss, the incredible joy of finally beginning to look like the image of herself she's always carried inside her head, and the crushing pain and confusion of feeling like a stranger in her own body after losing the weight that has always defined her.

Story4 out of 5 stars 113
Al Roker’s aha! moment came a decade ago. He was closing in on 350 pounds when he promised his dying father that he wasn’t going to keep living as he was. That led to his decision for a stomach bypass - and his life-changing drop to 190. But 50 of those pounds gradually crept back until he finally devised a plan, stuck to it, and got his life back. Never Going Back is Roker’s inspiring, candid, and often hilarious story of self-discovery, revealing a (now slimmer) side of his life that no one knows.

Missing Important Info
What disappointed you about The BIG Book on Bariatric Surgery: Living Your Best Life After Weight Loss Surgery?
My main and only complaint is that the download companion pdf is not available for this book through audible. It is very frustrating that the author refers to the guide throughout the book and I am not able to follow along. The information in the book is awesome and would be so much more help and practical if the download were available.
