Summary: Carnie does it again!
Review: 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: Is This Empowerment?
Review: I was interested to read Ms. Wilson's story and I certainly appreciate her sharing at such a deep level. However, I think the whole substance of this book can be summed up in this quote from page 118 of the current edition: "...Maybe posing [for Playboy] was just what I needed to finally free and completedly liberated. Some women run marathons, some climb mountains, or kayak across the deep blue sea, some jump out of planes and live to tell the story...I was going to jump out of my fears and pose nude for Playboy..." Um, there's a difference between the things Carnie listed and posing for Playboy...one is about your pushing yourself to achieve a physical feat, the other is about changing yourself to what the dominant culture wants. Based on what she says in this book, Carnie is happy because she is attractive in a Playboy kind of way. But no matter how much plastic surgery you have, you can't maintain this kind of body forever. If this is where Carnie is getting her happiness, no wonder she is STILL HUNGRY. I also have had WLS and have lost over 150#...and I know it's a struggle to not be defined by externals. But I would NOT recommend this book to anyone considering WLS because it is much more about fitting yourself into a mold and much less about reestablishing physical and mental health .

Summary: So much info! THANK YOU
Review: If you are considering WLS, you must read this book! What great info, and never "over your head" technical! I felt as if I had sat down with Carnie herself, and had a conversation, instead of reading a book. Carnie is a true inspiration.

Summary: If you are looking for a personal and inspirational story...
Review: 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...
