Weight watchers



Recommended Posts

Was thinking of joining weight watchers, but not telling them have had lap banding. Is anyone doing weight watchers? any good??? I did it years ago but kept putting the weight on due to not having my helping lapband.

There are a lot of banders doing WW on this thread. I think there was a thread about this a couple days ago. Just search by the term "weight watchers".

WW is a great plan. I did find that I wasn't losing on too many points. I knocked it down to 20 points and did quite well. 20 pts is 1k calories a day. So it worked out to a out 1200 with the extra points.

I have started back to WW too. I need that weigh-in every week. I became a lifetime member 28 years ago. It really is the only thing that worked for me. Unfortunately I would always gain it back and then some. I was banded Feb 8th and had my first fill March 14th. Hopefully with the band I will not give up and can keep it off.:biggrin2:

      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.
