Gut Feelings: From Fear And Despair To Health And Hope

Especially for someone who has gone through WLS, this book is a wonderful read. Carnie Wilson's writing style is down to earth, never too technical, and always heartfelt. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Even for people who have merely struggled with weight and not had WLS, I highly suggest reading this book!!

This book is just utterly and completely amazing. What an extraordinary journey this woman has had with her battle to feel and look beautiful. I think Carnie Wilson did a fantastic job and hopefully she will continue writing uplifting books. She is undoubtably motivational and speaks from the heart. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Carnie Wilson.....famous daughter of Brian Wilson, an accomplished musician, songwriter and singer....and now thanks to her courage to undergo a major life change by having gastric bypass surgery, has opened the door of hope and health for the morbidly obese. Thank you Carnie....for your honesty and frankness about your life story and what it took to change your physical body and become a healthy person again. You have inspired me and hundreds of others who are morbidly obese. I will be having surgery in the near future and wish to begin a new journey of health and happiness within. Thanks for educating me about morbid obesity and by your actions making me look at myself in the mirror and face the music. I love your book...in fact when I received it, I read it in a day's time. For anyone who is morbidly obese(100 lbs. over your ideal weight), or has a loved one with this disease, I strongly recommend reading "Gut Feelings: From Fear and Despair to Health and Hope".

I really enjoyed reading this book. It went into detail about her surgery and her recovery afterward. I only had one complaint about the book. Her language. You better be prepared to hear the "F" word a lot because it is definitely one of her favorite words.Other than that the book was great.

Carnie is a true inspiration for anyone! Her story of overcoming obesity and finding balance in her life is great for anyone looking for a true success story. Although she relied on a drastic surgery for help, she still, and ultimately had to rely on herself. Her fantastic personality and motivating energy shines through in this easy to read book. I only wish she had included a CD with the book--because her music and voice are a true gift. I drive a high school carpool and will reccommend this to all my gils obsessed with their weight.
