At first I was a bit confused by your post.  I thought the BDS was a type of WLS but then I saw that you are post-op.  Duh, I realized that you are referring to the Beck's Diet Solution as BDS.  That's fine and kinda cool.  I just hope Im not the only fool regarding the abbreviation.

You seem to be talking about doing prep for getting on a diet.  I always tell post ops to continue with their WLS diet IF THEY ARE FOLLOWING It.  I don't se any sense in waiting to start a diet if you are following one no matter how poorly you are doing.  That's like giving ourselves free reign over our troubled eating and that's a behavior we've done too often. 

You'll see that I do disagree with Dr Beck at times and you are best served following her recommendations as long as they are not contrary to your nutritionist's nor doctors' recommendations.  For example, I can handle drinking a little with my meals but that's supposed to be a major no-no with RNY.  It was fine with my surgeons.  Dr Beck talks about planning treats during your week.  I've talked to a food addiction counselor who uses BDS and she said we can allow for treats but not with addictive foods.

Overall, you are doing great.  BDS is easy to follow.  You can generally post anythng here about it and expect to get a response.  Anyone who is working the same program Day or a later one can be a valuable asset in telling you how they handled that Day.

Bob, thanks for your honesty. Only you know your addictive behaviours and what works best for you. I am really glad to hear that most of the time you can avoid those cravings using Beck’s lessons, and are still loosing weight even though you are not following 100%.

I am glad to hear that even after a year or so you still look to the BDS book , that says volumes for this book.

Melva, keep on moving, your doing great! How are you doing with your food plan? I spent a good part of today thinking about mine and revamping it…Going to try to follow it more strictly this week. There are some other areas that I need to focus on this week like my to do list, its was really hit and miss last week.

April, I’m sorry you had a rough day. I don’t know what it is like to be a military wife, I can only imagine the stress you are under. If you want to talk about it on this board it is alright by me….I would rather you tell us here than have one of those one sided conversation with some evil junk food. So please feel free to share what ever you want here, we want to be here for you to support you. I will continue to pray for you and your hubby. I hope you enjoy celebrating with your niece!!!
