The Maggpies Code: A Guide To Life Before And After Weight Loss (Book One: Life Before and After Weight Loss)

When asked to create a bio for my books I literally cringed... I'm not one to talk about me. I'd rather know about you. However, my editor, manager, publisher and friend, Angela Walsh, said "get on with it, it will be great!"So here goes nothing, or everything. Depends on your perception...lolI was born on a Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. I'm the oldest of four children, and grew up in a small Idaho farming town. I am the mom to three amazing kids who are all grown and now. I'm an empty nester... So I write and stir the pot...he he he he :PMy dad would tell you I am a Windmill tilter (book on that to come) , I will always be an advocate.. My mom will tell you that I walk where angels fear to tread. (book in progress on that, too) I find that Windmill Tilting and Walking where Angels fear to tread have serotonin benefits... However with that said I have come to learn that if there is to be a change I have to be the one to create that change... And I will create as many ripples in whatever pond/ocean I have to to make the world a better place. We all should be in my opinion.This book is just that! It is my experience but it is also my way of putting it out there that HEY!!!!! Patients that have bariatric weightloss surgery deserve more than on page on the American Medicals association website for after care!! So by creating this workbook journal I am choosing to start the ripples and we are all going to change the face of how patients recover from this surgery.We are all going to help each other and change the stats! Did you know that there is an 86% failure rate to weight loss surgery? 86% !!! Ladies and Gentlemen, we are going to tilt some windmills and walk where angels fear to tread! We are going to make a difference one person at a time!With all that said, please know that I am just a mom, daughter and friend that decided to make a change for the better for me first and to help others along the way... I'm not a doctor, I just have personal experience that may help someone else.Please enjoy, have fun, reach out and be blessed.Love ya,Maggs
