Weight watchers - Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

Thanks for everyone's input! I really appriciate it. I am going to sign up for WW today. I think being held accountable and having a weekly weighin will help me greatly.

I don't think seeking extra help is a sign of failure, just another measure to help me get to my goal. Afterall, if it was easy to loose weight none of us would of had to have the band.

If anyone else is doing WW would love to chat/email pointers and tips.

Also, in case you havent heard there is a website called Hungry Girl (fitting huh?) and they have a new book out. She takes receipes from resturants and makes a healthier version and includes the ww points in all of them.

Best of luck to everyone in their journey!

WW is wonderful for a lap band patient !!

I initially l lost 90 pounds before the birth of my bouncing baby boy:)

Now , with a good fill and my WW tools on board I am ready for round two!!

I use WW E-tools and have attended meetings on and off. I believe balance is important to success with the lap band. Physical activity is also essential for weight loss.

Do I feel depressed some days about my baby weight??

Heck Yes!!!!

Do I wish I would have ate less junk???

For Sure!!!

Do I love myself and know I can do it again ???

Absolutely :rolleyes2:

** Since April 1rst I have already lost 16 pounds**

Good luck to you all !!

Hello everyone

Glad to see this thread. I've been a yo-yo dieter most of my adult life. WW has worked well for me. Most recently I lost 70 lbs, then gained back 80.

I was just banded on 5/21. My surgeon recommends WW combined with lap band because WW teaches healthy lifestyle. I was hoping there would be other WW people here!

      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.
