Recommended Posts

8 Habits of Successful Losers ...details here from a giant study of successful weight loss and maintenance: http://www.rd.com/slideshows/8-habits-of-successful-losers/#ixzz2mCK8diqT How do you fit in here? Quote and comment. 1. They Are Physically Active Every Day 2. They Eat Breakfast 3. They Control Portions 4. They Make Healthy food Choices 5. They Keep Track 6. They Find Food-Free Ways to Deal With Stress 7. They Surround Themselves With Support 8. They Believe They Can Do Anything you don't follow on this list?, have anything to add? If you research, there are other things on the list not posted here...

I've found that the habits of success evolve over time and then re-evolve again! Such as eating Breakfast. I always have and believed that it was necessary. Since starting 5:2 lifestyle, I find I'm not eating much breakfast since at least two days a week I'm waiting til later in the day to have anything other than liquid and have found that it has sorta changed my eating schedule overall. It hasn't caused me to eat MORE overall or binge. I'm sure I will revert at some point.

All of the others are truly important and probably the most important NOW is keeping track and making wise food choices. Since Portion Control (other than sliders) is somewhat "built in" with our sleeves.

As I was reading these I was thinking to myself that these are in fact the habits of success in general, too, aren't they? I need to look at this list not only when I am feeling goofy about weight control stuff, but also when I don't want to file that report, or clean my desk...

Love the list. Must get the book.

It really is a good book .The Beck Diet Solution. I have to make cards and put them in my car , in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. It helps to reinforce what you want to do.

I really need to get the work book. I am sure it's more of a help than the actual book.

      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.
