So what's your Eating Rules Score?



Recommended Posts

Have you read the wonderful - and potentially life changing - WLS book from Clifford Thomas: Skinny Jeans...at last! ?

If you haven't and you've ever struggled with losing, maintaining or even the dreaded re-gain then this is THE BOOK for you! (I'm not getting any endorsement, apart from feeling amazing again since I've read it...)

So, if you've read it then I'm curious to know: what's your Eating Rules Score?

I'd like to start a little research on my own here, correlating the ERS with losing success.

Let me know your current score and how are you succeeding.

For example, my score currently is 73 (out of 100) - and I gained 15lbs in the last 12 months and couldn't get rid of UNTIL NOW.

Today is a New Day - I'm committed to push my score as close to 100 as possible, and I believe this will be my magic bullet to get to goal... I'll report my score weekly and looking forward to the changes!

If you don't mind me asking, what in general is the book about? I have not heard of it. I was thinking of getting it if it was any good. I guess I could look it up just being lazy I guess plus curious of your opinion. Thanks

In very-very general terms and absolute nutshell: how can we achieve long term success with WLS, why do we fail, what to do to turn things around. It was a real eye opener for me (although you suspect the basis we are hardly given such straightforward answers to burning issues like re-gain.)

My eating rules score for the week (Mon-Thur so far) is a goodly 90!

Major improvement from last week's 73. However, I haven't weighed in this week as I'm gearing up to start carb cycling next week so weigh-in is scheduled for tomorrow.

Anyone else got their scores is?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
