Thats awesome Bob, there is always lots more info and wisdom to grasp the second time around.
I think changing our mindset, using the tools Beck offers through CT and the tool we have through our WLS....... together that is a formula for success!

EODWIFEY, sounds like a solid plan.
I too love coffee, every morning I have a protein coffee. You have to be careful when you add the protein to the hot coffee or it will curdle.
What I do is mix my protein with about a 1/8 cup of cool water, once it is mixed well I add my coffee to it. Also be careful that the coffee is not pipping hot or again it will curdle.
In the warmer weather I do ice caps,same thing only I add cold coffee and ice. Both of these are very yummy.
Good job with the exercise plan, We just have to make time for ourselves when it comes to exercise. Get your runners on...your worth it!!!!!
I to use this thread to keep myself accountable, its great to be with a group of people that have been where I've been.

Thanks, I will not be ready on March 23rd Melva but I will be learning from you all. I don't think I am going to get to even start the boo****il some time in April. I know I will not let April pass with out strarting the diet. I can't do too many things at once and I want to pace my self. I am in no hurry.

Thank you. I am going to give it a shot 100 percent once I start it. Especially if it is only 45 days or so. I also am familiar with cognitive therapy for eating disorders. That is why I am excited about trying the book. Thanks again.

I'm still posting 1 Beck Day for each calendar week on the Hunger and Food Troubles Forum. I know I'm taking the program very slowly this time around, but I'm hoping I'll get the ground work done better and stick with the program for a longer period this time around. I haven't regained the 50 lbs I lost while working the program last year.
While Becks is not a diet, Dr Beck has come out with a newer version of the book which does include a diet. I still think we are better off with the diets our surgeons have given us OR with specialized diets like ones for diebetics, or food addicts at our own doctors' requests. I doubt that Dr Beck's diet accounts for WLS.
Having received cognitive therapy for depression, I am fairly used to it. I do want to emphasize that while cognitive therapy is used, Dr Beck does include many other strategies that successful dieters have used.
I can't say whether not using any of them may affect any individual person's ability to stay on a lifetime diet--a way of living. I just can't be as rigid in my planning as she suggests. And, I don't have to schedule time to work the program since I am the rare person who has plenty of free time and almost no demands or pressures on me.

Hey Molly,
BDS is not a diet, you are right it deals with the behavior as to why we eat and cognitive ways to deal with each situation. she has you choose your own diet plan and an alternative as you are working through the program. It is excellent I have never went on a diet where you work with the psychological part of why we overeat.
Some of us who are completing the book are going to restart on March 23rd so we can do the BDS together, you re welcome to join us then if you like or start and go at your pace as all of us did the first time around...
