WLS is not just about the weight you lose, its about the life you gain.

Maintain the eating habits that helped you lose weight.

Avoid the trigger foods that you have not been able to control.

Accept the four rules. Embrace them. They didn't tell us these are the rules until you get to goal weight. They said these are the rules. That meant the rules for life.

Learn smarter ways to fix your favorite foods. Use healthier ingredients, less fat, better grains, fresh veggies, fruits and herbs. LivingAfterWLS Recipes

Savor the Flavor. Treat mealtimes as an opportunity to pamper your body with good nutrition.

Water. Water. Water. When you are losing weight, there are many waste products to eliminate, mostly in the urine. A high water intake helps your body to rid itself of waste products efficiently, promoting better weight loss.

Become arrogant about the foods you put in your body, treat your body respectfully.

Plan your menus so that you are not caught off guard.

Cultivate a passion for healthy living. It's much easier to overcome obstacles if you are passionate about what you are doing.

Learn what eating pattern keeps your metabolism running efficiently and follow that pattern to avoid hunger.

Continue to eat low or non-fat proteins. Following the protein first rule helped you lose weight and will help sustain weight loss.

Protein tends to turn off hunger (offers more satisfaction) the best and the effect lasts the longest. Be absolutely sure not to drink liquid with food since liquid washes food out of the pouch.
When you think you have head hunger for food redirect that head hunger with thoughts for a healthy body and all the enjoyment that comes with being healthy. Do not indulge the so-called head hunger.
