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"

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.

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
