I can't believe there are no posts in this section. I am struggling so badly and sure could use a mentor or something. please reply if you can help me get back on track.

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 may have to go to Amazon and check that out too!

I did -- here you go ...

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?

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.

Would you please share some of those recipes? I am always looking for new ideas of high Protein meals. I am so tired of everything. Also, where are you finding the Greek yogurt? Everyone keeps telling me about it and I can't find it anywhere. Is it kept with all the other yogurt in the grocery store? I have looked at Albertsons, Safeway, Kroger and Walmart. That's all we have here. There is no Greek yogurt in any of those stores, unless they keep it somewhere besides with all the other yogurt.

Thank you in advance.
