Hi all! On the advice of someone in another thread (I can't remember who, sorry) I have begun reading this book: http://www.amazon.com/Skinny-Thinking-Revolutionary-Permanently-Relationship/dp/1600377491

It deals with the psychological side of eating, especially for those of us who feel like we think about food a lot and overeat compulsively. It's not gimmicky so far, though I'm not that far into it yet. It occurred to me that it might be helpful to have a small group of folks reading it together and talking about it. Is anyone interested? It's available as paperback, for Kindle (my preference) or on iBooks. It may be available as an audiobook too but I'm not sure that would be the best format to get the most out of it.

If anyone is interested, just let me know. I think it would be cool to read a chapter one week, and try to apply it the next week, then read another chapter, apply that one, etc.

Awesome. It seems a bit "pop-psy" but sort of makes sense to me so far. I have to admit I already flew through principle #1 and am reading about #2 now. I have a feeling I may have to wait some time to put these into practice since I am still so soon post-op. I'd be interested to hear what you think, as someone who is already at goal.

OK. I've downloaded it but haven't started reading yet. I'll work on it. I read The Beck Diet Solution while I was still pre-op. It had some great ideas, but I couldn't get with the program enough to get to an overweight BMI from an obese BMI.

I bought: Skinny Thinking: Five Revolutionary Steps to Permanently Heal Your Relationship With food, Weight, and Your Body by Laura Katleman-Prue.

Not WLS. It's abut changing your emotional relationship with food. It's not a diet book.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
