Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted July 20, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted July 21, 2009 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" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Headhunter 0 Posted August 6, 2009 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. HH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted August 6, 2009 A lot of people just order the work book. I guess if you have the work book, you really don't need the book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Headhunter 0 Posted August 6, 2009 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. HH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruthi 60 Posted August 7, 2009 Headhunter, You must live close to my neck of the woods. I am in Santa Clarita (Newhall) how about you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Headhunter 0 Posted August 7, 2009 Hi, Ruthi; yes, I am pretty close by you. I'm over in the Valley. I do get up to SC, though, I fish Castaic, and one of my favorite little streams is Bouquet Canyon.....they stock that little stream with trout during the summer, it fun to fish there!

wayupnorth 1 Posted August 8, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
