Hi Tracy,

I'm still banded and I plan to return to weight watchers because one it will be a lot easier now that I'm banded and two I really like the way of eating. I do not feel deprived of anything. So good luck!:)

Hey Tracey,

MY thought is this - DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO!!!!!!

WW is a GREAT diet. So many of their products are found at your local store - which makes so easy to follow the plan.

I wish you lots of success with your continuing journey!!!

Best of luck - you know you can keep it off! Keep focused and you will be so proud when you lose that 20lbs through sheer will-power and good habits. I really hope it goes well.

WW is great! I joined WW last year while I was banded to help me stay on track. Now that I'm unbanded, I plan to rejoin in the near future (after I heal from surgery two weeks ago) to help me lose the weight I've gained over the past year. Good luck to you! I've met many people online that have used WW to lose over a hundred pounds. It works.

Hi Tracey,

I was only banded a few weeks ago, but I did my WW points for my pre-op diet and my surgeon and I were both pleased with the results. Now that I am banded, and have started on mushies, I am continuing to count points. I am using the points as a guideline for how much I should be eating.

WW has always workied for me (until I quit and gained it all back). It is a tried and true method.

Good luck - I really wish you the best!

I started NutriSystem this week. My unbanding had resulted in a quick 10 lb. gain. This is my last week of school (high school English teacher), and it's been hard to resist the lounge food treats. I'm hoping that being out of school will help me to commit to an exercise program. Wish me luck! Best to all of you!!

I am one of the most inconsistent people on the planet when it comes to "programs." Weight loss, skin care, exercise, nail care, fitday, showing up for work (!)...the day-to-day of it all sends me into a fetal position on the couch. (Perhaps the reason why I HAD to go the wls route.)

My sister on the other hand, can get on that pony and RIDE. She lost about 75 pounds--in about a year and a half--with WW and NutriSystem and Curves. (She stalled out last Christmas and she recently mentioned getting back on track...her grandmotherly duties have been distracting her.)

But she can do it and she is happier with her progress in that arena that she would be with any wls...

After my weight started creeping up after my band was removed, I joined Weight Watchers and gained five pounds in the first week. That was the end of that. My inner-self just has a huge resistance to anything that involves restriction/diets/programs, etc. I actually end up eating more than if I wasn't on a "diet." So many people are successful, I'm obviously not one of them. Good luck to the WW fans.

I think Weight Watchers is a good program.

Good luck on continuing your successful journey!

I'm thinking of going back to Weight Watchers for the millionth time. How are you doing with it?

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
