Tomorrow is my three month sleeversary and I want to list the things I love about the sleeve:

Controlling what I eat, instead of it controlling me

Smaller clothes! Although this is ongoing and every changing

Knowing my limit in terms of eating and feeling satisfied thanks to sleeve

All glory to the sleeve LOL

Also I want to know how many other sleevers had multiple attempts at changing their life through the corporate liars I call Weight Watchers. I have spent so much money and time with them and it was all for naught, please tell mesomeone else has had this experience.

You are not alone! I have probably spent thousands of dollars over the last 30 years with WW.

I had a bad experience with them. When I plataued they acted like I had done something wrong. They act like women aren't supposed to gain Fluid weight before their periods.

When I needed proof of my meetings for the insurance company they were absolutely horrid.

Part of the issue is they only hire people who have lost weight and maintained on weight watchers which usually means leaders that have only lost about 20-30lbs. It makes sense of course business wise.

Also the system is constantly changing. The support part does help but when it comes down to it is still is about will power and the spend your points on what you like mentality doesn't really encourage balanced eating

My 17 tear old lost 65 pounds in one year on weight watchers. She's dedicated and motivated so WW worked great for her.

Also, my mother who is 8 years post bypass follows WW to maintain her weightloss.

I think it works for some people, but for people who have true food issues and have a lot to lose, it isn't right for them.

But everyone is different.

I hate that it constantly changes. I was doing well on it until they changed everything. I hate that it is mainly just a money maker and that they have to keep changing it so you have to go out and buy all new cookbooks, calculators, etc.

I also felt like my leader wasn't very helpful and that the people I was in group with were pretty addicted to food but that was never a topic.

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
