Developing the Right Mindset After Lap-Band or Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Successful Weight Management after weight loss surgery requires you to develop a mindset and a philosophy about your relationship to food, about what to eat, what not to eat as often by using moderation, establishing self control boundaries, becoming more mindful and aware of food and stress triggers, continuing to educate yourself, finding the value in daily exercise. This also includes your attitude towards yourself and the world around you. Recognize the process where you have to work with yourself to get from the state you’re in, to a state where you wanna be. You may have entered into this process with the goal of being thinner in the same way you may buy a lottery ticket to be wealthier, but what you really want is a change of state. You want a change in how you feel, how you live.

Tips for Building a Healthier Salad

Nothing sounds healthier than a salad, right? It may be, but not if you add the wrong ingredients. After that salad is loaded down with goodies like cheese, croutons, fatty meats and creamy dressings, you may have saved more calories if you had the hamburger. That's not to say that either one was a very good choice for a smart weight loss plan. Don't be fooled by this proverbial wolf in sheep's salad dressing. That said, don't give up on salads — they can be a filling, low-cal option and a great way to satisfy your daily vegetable requirements. Just follow these guidelines for making the perfect healthy salad — and you'll never have to worry again.
