#SleeveLife: Losing Half of Myself and Finding the Rest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732132108)

Weight loss and transformation take time, inspiration and stubborn determination. Jonathan Dichter transformed his life after undergoing weight loss surgery, and now he wants to be part of your journey to becoming the best possible version of yourself! Join Jonathan as he starts at 400 pounds and sheds the excess weight and the baggage that was weighing him down as a result.

When Jonathan went to see his primary care doctor in December of 2015, he was sure she was ready to give up and tell him to go home and die. His physical health was so bad that walking through a grocery store gave him trouble. Jonathan committed to doing anything and everything his doctor told him, which brought him to gastric sleeve surgery.

#SleeveLife is a personal recount of one man's path to physical and emotional health, complete with stumbles and celebrations along the way. If you're considering weight loss surgery, a weight loss program, or any major life change, you can find something in Jonathan's story to inspire, move and entertain you. Jonathan walks the reader through all the stages of his decision to have weight loss surgery, from the choice of surgeon through the surgery and recovery, slowly rebuilding his life.

Jonathan will give you tips and tricks on how to make sure you are always moving forward towards your weight loss goals (or any other goals for that matter) - and encourage you every step of the way to join him on a journey to positivity, and the best version of you possible. He'll discuss fears, anxieties, dating, eating, half marathons, Disney, clothing shopping, kids, gas, and more - in a frank and honest conversation written in a friendly and accessible tone. Jonathan wants nothing more than for you to feel like you're sitting with him at his table chatting about this experience and getting ready for your own.

#SleeveLife is a labor of love and a never ending story of continued change for its author and, at its heart, a motivational tool for its readers as well.
