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?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
