I was just wondering if anyone does weight watchers with the band... I'm thinking about it!

Not currently but I also have thought about it because my mother in law is on it. The meeting times just don't fit into my schedule.

I'm basically doing it here from home. I'm just following the myfitnesspal guild lines that I worked out with my nutritionist.

No matter what eating plan you follow, you must write it down or log it. Seeing it all laid out (like a bank account) will help you see what you need and what you have to work with.

I do weight watchers and it is helping. I am a slow loser. So WW keeps me honest :)

No i'm not doing weight watchers, but I totally agree with you helping you band help you. I got banded on august 21 2012 so i'm fairly new at this but right now i'm on this super healthy 30 days challenge, plus one hour exercise 5 times a week, and a gallon of Water a day and I lost 9lbs in 5 days no lie =) before that I had done 3 days of ketosis ( 6lbs in 4 days)because I thought I was off track because with my dieticians diet I had only lost 7lbs in 3 weeks ( which people told me that was about what lap-band patients lose each week 1-2lbs a week). I started at 445lbs. My pro-op diet started august 8, surgery was august 21, and i'm now 395lbs =). I had done thi schallenge before and it's really healthy but it was really hard for me to follow, with my band now it is really ok. Basically use you your tool ( band) to your advantage
;-)
GOOD LUCK!

I also use myfitnesspal and boy does it help me. I feel like I am more accoutable with using that app. I log everything I eat and I log my excercise and I can see if at the end of the day I am at a positive or negative and I can also look at reports of my progress for the month. I never could get into weight watchers, but for some reason myfitnesspal clicked for me and works.

I think the bottom like is find what works for you to keep you accontable and do it, no matter if it's weight watchers or myfitnesspal or something else. As long as you are holding yourself accountable for what you are taking in it is a good thing.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
