I loved the brain training ideas. *thin pic v's sweet* all written on the cards and placed around the house. is there any other ideas like that in this site? funny i use little quirkie things like this to save money, but i have never thought of doing it for my weight!!!! ohhh except once...I kept writting on my hand no...or stoppppp but it didnt work!!! grrr it was ment to be a reminder when i was putting food to my mouth. the ink would wear of or smudge and just irritate me!

tattoo maybe!!!! little piggy on my hand!!!

You should get the book then. It has a lot of great ideas. I got it at Amazon for $9. It's worth the money. I like their ideas on how to think like thin people think. It's behavior modification and that's what we need.

What book is it you're talking about Daisy? Sounds interesting.

It's called the Beck Diet Solution, by Janet Beck. It's not a diet though. It's behavior modification. Right under the title, it says

"how to think like a thin person"

I've read that book. It's very good.

It's a very big piece of the puzzle for a LOT of people. They have the surgery, but they don't do the "mind work". It's an important component.

A lot of people just order the work book. I guess if you have the work book, you really don't need the book.

I only have the "main" book.

I really wish that with ALL the WLS the Medical Teams would pay a bit more attention to this element. It's not all a "physical" issue. A scalpel won't "solve" the problem. It helps, but if the Mind is not in the right place, there is failure MUCH of the time.

I was sleeved on July 28th. I made a charts with all the meals and on the other side the Protein, calories and Carbs in everything that I am eating. It is almost like a game with me to see how low I can keep the carbs and how high the protein can be. It worked for me. I keep it on the frig or in my purse at work. If I get a good score by 700 at nite. My treat is a fat free greek yogurt with splenda and cinnamon.

      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.
