Most guides prepare you for one and leave you alone for the other.
The Bariatric Navigation Workbook prepares you for both. Written by Ashley Lee, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, it walks beside you from your first consultation through your first ninety days and well beyond. Clear medical education on one page, honest conversation about the emotional weight of this journey on the next, and room to write on nearly every one. This is the guide patients tell us they wish someone had handed them at the very beginning.
What is inside:
• Plain language education on every procedure, the staged diet, and recovery
• The mental health side few people mention: emotional eating, body image, transfer addiction, and the identity shifts nobody warns you about
• A full cognitive behavioral Mind Toolkit, with thought records and practical worksheets
• A structured first ninety days, phase by phase, with weekly check ins
• A postsurgical recovery plan and a care team directory to fill in
• Master checklists for before and after surgery
• Questions to ask your surgical team, grouped and ready to bring to your visit
• A glossary of the terms your team will use
• Trusted organizations and communities to lean on
• Journaling and reflection space throughout
Who it is for:
Anyone preparing for or recovering from bariatric surgery, the people who love them, and the clinicians and programs who walk them through it.
74 pages. 8.5 x 11 inches. Digital download, delivered instantly as a PDF.
Note:
This workbook is general education and does not replace the advice, diagnosis, or treatment of your own licensed medical and surgical team. Always follow the guidance your providers give you.
