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"

Thank you!

The link did not work for me, but I already have the book.

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.

Headhunter,

You must live close to my neck of the woods. I am in Santa Clarita (Newhall) how about you?

[Headhunter 0]

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!

Well then, Hi neighbor, hope to run into you sometime when I go fishing, whenever that will be.

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.
