Thank you so I am glad I am not alone with the thought. I need the motivation and I am bored with the same boring foods... I know Weight Watchers produce results if followed correctly.

dont get me wrong I did lose weight with WW but not enough and It came back on when I stopped it got to expensive paying to have someone weigh me when I could do it at home.

I've lost more weight with the Lap band then I ever did with WW and plan on getting to my goal weight that was something I could never do with WW.

I'm bored with the same foods too.... very bored. I just ordered 2 lab-band cookbooks off of Amazon. About $12.00 each. I need to spice up my menu! Good Luck to you!

Congratulations on your weight loss! I have to agree with Zenaida, while I think WW is a great program I just don't see paying someone to weigh me. If I need group support I have this forum, and if I need it in person, there's always OA.

And for those reading this post that are unclear on my intention: THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINON ABOUT USING WW FOR MYSELF ONLY. (This board had been wrought with tension over every little thing a person posts lately, so I like to put a disclaimer in when I post now. LOLLLL)

But actually Sdart, I was writing to see how you are feeling. I remember reading that you were in an accident where your truck rolled a few times. Just wanted to know if you are 100% yet. I hope so.

Take care.

Interesting...I just had this talk with my nutritionist and surgeon (seperately) yesterday. My company just announced that they will begin paying for WW 100% for associates. I asked the nutritionists what she thought and she said she didn't see the need for me to join, I was doing well with the band and keeping a food journal, etc on my own.

I asked my surgeon what he thought during my fill about 30 minutes later and he said that any support mechanisms we find are good, but it is only as fruitful as the effort you put in to it -- in otherwords, if I am compliant with my band restrictions, I shouldn't need WW. If I am not compliant, then I will likely not be compliant with WW either. And he pointed out (and I think this is the most valid of all) is to keep in mind that our requirements as 'banders' for Protein first, etc are different that what the Points philosophy will want. Anyway...their 2 cents. I think they both had good points.

Hi Fran

Believe me I understand about the money for WW I was thinking of doing it on my own with a couple of friends for motivation. I really need the extra boost. I am not 100 yet been resting for the last three weeks but plan on returning to work Monday. If I can get my body to stop aching I will be a ok..Thank you for asking

My parents started weight watchers online a few weeks ago, my mom is loving making the recipes on their website. We made something together when I came to visit the other day. It was good! I don't feel the need to join it though. I'm already weighing myself, and tracking my calories.

Weight watchers is basically a diet and we already have one! I don't really feel the need to pay them for one. Besides, I think Weight Watchers is a bit too much food for me.

I have had my band for one year. Before the surgry i went ot ww to lose some weight. I lost 32lb. My doctor was very happy. My surgry went well. The last few months have been very hard. I have only lost around 13lb since my band. I do not know whay i have had so many problems with throwing up blood and not keeping anything dwon. So tomorrow i am having them take out the 5cc i have and i am going to try following ww for a while and see how that goes.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
