Eat for purpose not for pleasure. That's one I've seen before and is engrained in my head.

This has been (and continues to be) one of the most powerful tools that changed/calmed my brain's reward/pleasure center in the 6.5 years since WLS.

Whenever I encounter tempting trigger foods (sight/presentation/smell), I repeat silently "I don't eat that anymore." or "I don't NEED that anymore."

Thanks everyone for your fantastic suggestions!

We went with these Mantras to start:

  • SHE BELIEVED SHE COULD SO SHE DID
  • STRIVE FOR PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION
  • EVERY JOURNEY BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP

Inspire Hand Stamped Stackable Bracelets are a personal reminder of the commitment you’ve made to yourself and your weight loss surgery journey. When you glance down and see those meaningful words on your wrist, you’ll be reminding yourself of what you want for yourself and your journey.

These stunning bracelets were custom designed and handcrafted for BariatricPal by artist Miranda Semmerling. Proudly made in the USA!

Silver Bracelet Details:

The Silver Inspire Hand Stamped Stackable Bracelet is crafted from 12 gauge Aluminum, lightweight & sturdy along with a great alternative to silver. We used 1100-0 commercially pure food safe aluminum. This is pure aluminum & is less reactive to one's skin than sterling silver. The aluminum is smooth on the ends so it won't cut your wrists when putting on & each is tumbled for a shiny finish. Hypoallergenic will never tarnish or turn the skin green. Very low maintenance. The supplier we use gets the aluminum from mills ONLY found in the USA and he's a Veteran!

Rose Gold and Gold Bracelet Details:

Our Rose Gold Inspire Hand Stamped Stackable Bracelet is crafted from Copper. Our Gold Inspire Hand Stamped Stackable Bracelet is crafted from Brass. Copper and Brass are warm metals that will naturally tarnish over time. Individuals can either let the natural patina take over or they can keep it shiny by using any polishing cloth. The Copper and Brass is 16 gauge, very sturdy, rounded smooth ends so it won't cut your wrists & tumbled for a shiny finish.

My 10c worth from many I've read:

1. “Happiness is the consequence of personal effort.”

2. "It’s the people with follow-through who excel.”

3. “Change your thoughts and you change your world.” – Norman Vincent Peale

4. "Your body achieves only what your mind believes!"

5. "If you never change, you'll never change."

6. " Your surgery is a catalyst for positive change ... and it affects every aspect of your life."

7. "It's getting started that stops many people."

8. "If you want what you've never had so far, you have to start doing what you've never done before."

I live my life by my favorite Tony Robbins quote: " whatever you hold in your mind on a consistent basis is exactly what you will
experience in life."

I saw myself in a dream at a party at my house. I was so thin, smiling, wearing yellow Capris and a white tank. I look at that image in my thoughts daily until one day I will become her.

      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.
