Do something differently.

Some unknowledgeable surgeons have actually told their patients they are cured, but WLS patients come to understand that's not true. In fact, it is very common for patients to regain some of their weight. A small weight regain may be normal, but bigger gains point to a need for more support, new information -- or old information looked at in a new way, education about all of the causes for regain, effort, determination, and an open mind.

The bottom line for most is that if you don't change what you've always done, you're going to keep getting what you've always gotten--even after weight loss surgery.

Action for the day: Begin establishing a new habit that is positive today. Do SOMETHING differently.
