I just have to share about this wonderfull book. I started reading it this weekend and it has already totally changed me. Its titled "The Four Day Win - End Your Diet War and Achieve Thinner Peace" by Martha Beck. She was on GMA (good morning america) firday (1/5/07). Totally new weight loss philosphy. I am reaching my thinner peace and weight loss enlightenment. I think its revolutionary.

Hi!

I LOVE Martha Beck! I didn't know she had a new book out! She writes for O magazine every month and she has such an unusual way of solving problems. Her book" the Joy Diet" was very good too. I'm going to read it, Thanks for the tip!

I bought it! Taking time to just sit and read will be my reward for doing what needs to be done in the house (post christmas clean up). Can't wait!

I'm halfway through and have gleaned some great advice! I think this will be one of those books that I read multiple times.

I bought a book called "The Right Weigh" (I can't recall the author and the book is at home) it was really good and takes a much more holistic approach to issue of eating. It includes meditation and exercises designed to retrain your brain. If anyone is interested I can post the author

      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.
