Weight watcher after 1 1/2 years



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried weight watcher afterwards? I’m stuck at a 105lb weight loss and can’t seem to lose anymore doing what I’ve been doing all along?

I haven't tried it since surgery, but in the back of my mind, I thought that I might need to at some point. It's helps me to be held accountable to someone else. Just my 2 cents worth :)

It might help if you’re at a calorie goal that syncs up with their points. Otherwise you’d be below their target consistently with no guidance on how to correct it for appropriate weight loss.

I have a love hate relationship with WW. I know it works for a lot of people but I’ve never found long term success with it.

Go back to your nutritionalist and the surgeon for a plan that's suited to your surgery. You have other tools. Use those tools instead of one that is not really designed for your surgically modified body.

Weight watchers is great for accountability, weigh ins, and learning good information about exercise and health. You will need to modify the program though. I actually go to meetings but I do use calories instead of the freestyle program.

      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.
