Is anyone following any plans out there like weight watchers or Akins. Just has a guide line.

I'm doing weight watchers tv dinners and lowfat tv dinners, just to keep me on track, otherwise I put on weight. Hope this helps

I was sleeved sept 28. I have the new weight watcher before I got sleeved. It's really good even the cook books have a lot of heathy choices

May I ask how much of a weight watchers meal can you eat?

[Avillias 25]

I try and eat all the meat first and if I have room I'll eat a couple bites of the sides.

I'm sort of doing Atkins but I do eat fruit so that I can have some healthy carbs. I don't count cals or anything but I focus on eating Protein and avoiding processed foods like mashed potatoes, etc. I hate the insomnia it causes but when I add in processed carbs I stall and gain a little in Water weight. Oh and Atkins makes me grouchy and gives me insomnia but it's the only thing that works for me. The good thing is that it gives me a ton of energy during the day, no need for caffeine

I too eat the weight watcher smart ones but I can not finish an entire meal. I usually eat 1/2 and only the ones under 300 calories that way I'm not taking in more than 200 cal at a time. I was sleeved 8-14.

I just went back to Weight Watchers today (I'm a former lifetime member). I was sleeved in 2010 and went from 240 down to 132. This summer I had lipsuction which messed up my fat metabolism and I started gaining weight. I'm up to 151.5 which I would have thought impossible given how easy this has all been for me. So I felt being accountable was my best bet. I've been trying on my own but don't stick to tracking my food and watching my eating for long. I felt like weighing in and getting reminded every week would help me to be mindful again.

WW is a good program and they support weightloss surgery now. But some of the members see surgery as being lazy or cheating so I just keep that part to myself. The sleeve is a tool but without sensible eating and exercise I can see now that it's possible to gain weight. I want to get back down to my size 4 132lb self so I think WW is the best option for me right now. I'm just glad I'm drawing the line at size 6 150 and not letting all the weight come back like I used to do pre-sleeve.
