*New* Weight Watchers + Lap Band Group



Recommended Posts

I was banded in September, and have not lost anything since November. I joined WW 6 weeks ago, only lost .6, .4 things like that never anything more than a pound at one time.Last week I went in and lost 4.4lbs. I had a fill 2 weeks ago and I think I have reached my sweet spot because I am not able to eat much at one sitting, things get stuck very quickly. I am so excited to have the band finally working in my favor. I hope between WW and the band I will start to see the weight come off. I hope to lose 40 more pounds with a loss of 60 lbs total. My leader was very supportive when I told her about my surgery, she wanted to know how I had alot of success this past week. I explained how the band works and how it was not an easy thing to lose weight, so with the help of WW and my band I hope to be sucessful this time.

Is this a physical group or a virtual group? And what does social mean?

I have a WW group about 20 miles from here but have not heard of the social group.

I may be interested.

I have been doing WW for the last 2 months and was banded 6 days ago. I do plan on continuing with the WW plan (once the 14 of Clear Liquids is over).

I have always had good success with it.

I am new to this site so any help with how to save threads for easy access would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do you let yourself have the same amount of points you would have before the band, or have you figured out a different amount because of the band?

      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.
