! ! ? ; "-3 -- L - ' % - ' % & ' A A If you’ve had bariatric surgery and understand the Mindful Eating Cycle, you have two powerfultools that can work beautifully together to help you create the fulfilling life you crave. Here aresome of the key concepts you’ve learned from the Mindful Eating Cycle; you may want to repeatthese to yourself regularly to support your new way of living. 6GX CN ( D@S I am in charge of my choices about eating, physical activity, and self-care. I am mindful of my physical and emotional needs and strive to meet them appropriately. I know bariatric surgery is only a tool and that it is up to me to learn to use it properly.6GDM CN ( D@S Whenever I feel like eating, I pause to tune in to my body and ask, Am I hungry? I use the Body-Mind-Heart Scan to become aware of what I am experiencing in the presentmoment so I can respond instead of reacting mindlessly. I eat to meet my needs for fuel, nourishment, hydration, and pleasure. I use my hunger and fullness signals to guide me about when, what, and how much to eat. When I feel like eating even though I’m not hungry, I have three options: Eat anyway,Redirect my attention, or Meet my true needs. If I’m not hungry, I can FEAST instead: Focus, Explore, Accept, Strategize, Take action. # %
! ! ? ; "-3 -- L 6G@S CN ( D@S 6G@S CN ( D@S I use the principles of balance, variety, and moderation to guide my eating. When I’m hungry, I ask three questions: What do I want? What do I need? What do I have? Since my stomach is small, I need protein first, then other nutrient-rich foods. I eat the foods I love mindfully and without guilt, in a manner that is satisfying andsustainable. I am aware of the effects of my choices and use that information to guide my future choicesabout eating without judgment or guilt. I take my vitamin and mineral supplements consistently and have recommended lab work asdirected by my bariatric team.'NV CN ( D@S 'NV CN ( D@S Mindful eating—eating with intention and attention—gives me more pleasure with less food. Eating slowly, taking small bites, and chewing thoroughly increases satiety and enjoymentand decreases problems.'NV LTBG CN ( D@S I eat with the intention of feeling better when I’m done than I did when I started. I pause after each bite, ask “Am I full?”, and check for the early signals of satiety. When I eat too much, I turn the situation into a learning experience by noticing how I feelphysically and emotionally.6GDQD CN ( HMUDRS LX DMDQFX I cultivate a strong support system that includes family, friends, colleagues, and my healthcare team. I let them know how they can best support me along this journey. I don’t compare myself with others. Each of us is unique so my journey is my own. Physical activity builds my stamina, strength, and flexibility so I can live my life to the fullest. I practice balance, variety, and moderation not just in the way I eat, but in the way I live. I live mindfully and make quiet time, prayer, deep breathing, and/or meditation to help mefeel calm and centered. I practice self-care for my whole self—body, mind, heart, and spirit. #
