Weight Watchers????

I am considering re-joining WW. I know better than to ever mention my band at a meeting b/c I was at a meeting pre-band where someone mentioned having WLS and did they crucify her. My reason for joining is that I NEED structure. I have always found the post op diet, while restrictive in some ways, to be too free for me.

I also was unfilled on May 15 and am sort of at ground zero again here. I have had 2 small fills and am again in Bandster Hell. Being home this past week from school I am eating and eating b/c I can. No control.

I am a slow loser and would join and quit WW b/c of my frustration level. So, I am not sure what to do here. I want to see the Psychologist at my surgeon, but she is $200 out of pocket per visit. That is not an option!

I know WW has the Power Foods thing which seems to be high Protein foods, so maybe that will help....

I am so disgusted with myself.

Any thoughts?

I lost 100 pounds with TOPS ( Take off pounds sensibly). With the support of our group leader who is an MD I was banded after regaining some of my weight. He knows about the surgery but no one else does. I will stay with the group for the accountability and support. Shame on the WW leaders for putting down WLS maybe they don't really understand it

Good luck to you WW works for many people, just watch the sodium and carb intake on the ready meals, and maybe try cooking some of them yourself .. i have had the frozen fish pie when i have run out of time to prep anything but a home made one tastes loads better and has more nutrients in it, get to make a batch and freeze them .. preparation is key when the boundaries on eating arent rigid, i know i have to prepare all my weeks menu at the weekend, so i dont have to think , its there and u dont make as many bad choices then ..if it works for u .. then just do it
