Summary: If you are looking for a personal and inspirational story...
Comment: Let me say this. I love Carnie Wilson . I am inspired by Carnie Wilson. "I'm Still Hungry" is an extremely personal account of Carnie's successful weight-loss surgery. She tells it like it is. You have a great sense of her effusive personality. She is definitely an entertainer. She provides valuable information about what to expect after. I am however, a little suprised that her co-author did not restrain her unvarnished praise of her husband (the most talented musician the world, cutest most amazing...you get it). Long before there was Rob, there was Carnie..a beautiful talented woman, at any size. The book reads almost like a journal and is a great change for those people who are exploring Weight Loss Surgery. With great detail, but in approachable language, Carnie Soars...

Summary: Carnie does it again!
Comment: I just finished this book. Her first book was great but this one was awesome! I had gastric bypass surgery in Aug of 2001. Carnie truly is an inspiration! This book talks about how losing all the weight does not magically fix all our personal problems. She tells it like it is and doesn't hold back. I think it is awesome that she decided to accept Playboy's offer to pose. You go girl!

Summary: Mixed Views
Comment: As a nutritionist for a bariatric surgical program, I empathize with Carnie Wilson. She nicely depicts the personal struggle for self-identity in people who lose a great deal of weight through bariatric surgery. The style of writing is enjoyable and funny. She has a sense of humor that makes for lighter, enjoyable reading.
However, from a nutritional standpoint some of her diet information is completely inaccurate, and I'm wondering how false nutritional information is permitted to be printed. For example, on page 172, she describes diet sodas as having "tons on sodium." Diet sodas have approximately 25-50 mg of sodium per serving, amounts that fall under the category "very low sodium" as defined by the Food and Drug Administration. Also, fruit, as she described as being "loaded with sugar", has approximately 15 gms of carbohydrate per serving, and can easily fit into a meal plan designed for a patient who has had WLS.
Carnie does a great job of describing how she confronted the battle of weight loss; however, she should leave the nutritional recommendations up to a professional.
