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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
