Sleeve & Weight Watchers

[BrokeMyHalo 107]

I was curious if anyone uses Weight Watchers with their Sleeve to keep track of their food and make better choices?

I am 5 weeks out and according to weight watchers i will starve to death before long.

Haha, yeah thats make sense. I just have a real fear of regaining after a year if I am not on a strict plan. Sometimes I can really convince myself something doesnt have THAT many calories...

I asked my NUT about getting on a program like weight watchers and she told me "why do you feel the need to diet when you just had weight loss surgery?" Then she went on to say that it is not a good idea because I will not get in all of my nutrients and caloric intake. Go figure! Try using myfitnesspal.com to keep track.

Thanks! I will look up that site. I feel like I DO need to diet after surgery or I will go back to my old ways. I currently have a Lapband and want the Sleeve. I do plan on getting therapy to help with this, but I am pretty disciplined when I do keep track and see a "you went over your daily calorie budget" its a wake up call.

Mfp still tells me I'm only getting half the cals I need. I find it impossible to get more than 700

MyFitnessPal.com seems to work for me. I adjusted my calorie settings to where I know it will work for me. Mine are currently set at 900 and MFP will tell you that it's too low because it doesn't know that I've had weight loss surgery. I feel it's a good tool to use, and plus it's free. Use whatever tool works for you. I personally feel it helps and keeps me motivated to stay on track. Feel free to add me if you're on there. I'm 'specialemy'.

I would suggest using the app 'My Fitness Pal' it has everything you need to keep up ' track what you eat, you can put exercise in & etc - also you can scan bar codes & etc - it has been a big help since I started this while process...
