{"product_id":"it-aint-over-till-the-michelle-ritchie-9781630266318","title":"It Ain't Over 'Till the Thin Lady Sings: How to Make Your Weight-Loss Surgery a Lasting Success","description":"This sensitive, sympathetic book helps readers determine whether or not weight-loss surgery is right for them. Author Michelle Ritchie shares both her personal journey as a successful weight-loss surgery patient and her professional advice as an experienced weight-loss counselor. In sometimes funny, sometimes painful prose, she discusses her life before and after surgery and bluntly analyzes her own complicity in her obesity. As she describes her four-year battle to maintain her new, healthy weight, Ritchie emphasizes personal responsibility, reminding readers that surgery is not a quick-fix solution but a tool that works only as well as the choices patients make after the procedure. Also included are a detailed description of gastric bypass surgery; its pros and cons; tips for keeping weight off after surgery; daily food plans and sample shopping lists; information on cross-addictions; and a thoughtful discussion on intimacy and relationships after surgery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Ritchie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1630266310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781630266318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hunter House Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Michelle Ritchie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44067909304575,"sku":"9781630266318","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d9928621-36c2-4136-b23f-95d0c6e5ae04.jpg?v=1685415980","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/it-aint-over-till-the-michelle-ritchie-9781630266318","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
