Weight Watchers Anyone?



Recommended Posts

As many of you know, due to major emotional issues with family, and major back problems resulting in my not being able to exercise since August, I have packed quite a few pounds back on. Well, I had an outpatient surgery procedure on my back yesterday, am already starting to feel better, and am free to begin exercising again starting Friday. I am so pumped, I feel like today really is the first day of the rest of my life.

I have recommitted to my sleeve and am ready to go. I know this time I really need to watch every bite I put in my mouth. I looked at several of the free sites online, but I really have a firm grasp on Weight Watchers, understand the program and have had great success with it pre-sleeve. So, even though I have to pay for it, I have decided to do Weight Watchers Online. I officially weighed in and started tracking today. I was just wondering if anyone else is doing WW. If so, feel free to add me as a friend there, my profile name is in my signature.

Good luck Susan!! We gotta do, what we gotta do!! If you are familiar with WW and feel comfortable with the plan, then that is what works for you! So glad you're feeling better after your procedure. I have been going to the Wellness Center and using the pool and I LOVE it!! I have a bad back/hip problem and swimming and Water aerobics is so easy on the joints. But with exercise too, it has to be something you really enjoy to keep your interest. Let us know how it goes and I'm sure there are some other WW ppl here.

Hi Susan, no i didn't realize you had problems. . . i'm so sorry to hear that. . however, i'm so glad to hear that you feel better! Just be really careful getting back into the "swing" of things. . . life has a funny way of "debilitating" us if we aren't careful. . . good luck and I know you'll do great as you recoup! Keep us posted of your recovery!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
