So far today! Coffee & no fat milk 1 point Greek yogurt / banana / fresh blueberry smoothie 3 points 2 egg whites 1 point

OK I figured out the app so never mind that question. I did go weigh in yesterday at WW I lost 5.8 pounds on my first week! WHOOOOO HOOOOO! I am so happy to be back on track. It feels great and I havent had such a great week with my band in FOREVER!

OK so whats the trick to getting the weight watchers e tools set up? I am so confused, my friend has it hooked up to her phone.

Yes I use the shake instead of milk when I do it. I use very strong coffee and a whole shake then warm it up. YUM!

So lunch was a shake dinner was a bit bad. It's family movie night at our house on Fridays so we get a cheese pizza and a salad. I would up eating a greek yogurt 4 points some salad and one piece of cheese pizzza 10 so maybe 26 to 30 points total today. Tomorrow morning is weigh in. Hope I didnt mess it up with the pizza tonight. I had a pear and some strawberries today as welll but thats 0 points. Anyone else got a Saturday morning weigh in?

My shake is a premier protien shake and I buy them at costco they come pre mixed in a box and I live on the (really) my lap bad doc told me about them and I have been drinking them for over 2 years now. Normally they are breakfast because it's quick and easy. They are also awesome in a coffee in the morning.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO AGREE!

Ohhh I go weigh tomorrow at WW this will be my 2nd weigh in so I will see how I did on my very first week! I am nervous! So far I have had: Breakfast - coffee & skim milk 1 point 1 cup Kashi Go lean Cereal & 1 cup skim milk 7 points Just got off my elliptical and did 45 min burned 495 cal and went 3 miles Now lunch will be a shake 30g Protein 4 points

Ya you should always try to weigh first thing in the morning before food or water. It will give you a better baseline. I am sure all that working out and water just made you retain!

OK I had a bigger food day today then I thought after adding my points! Coffee & Skim Milk 1 point 30g shake 4 points Greek yogurt 3 points Spin class 60 min 6 activity points Went to soup plantation for lunch, had a bowl of mushroom soup for 8 points and some chicken breast for 2 points another 30g shake 4 points Dinner was 4 oz beef and 1/4 baked potato with 1/4 cup cottage cheese 6 points total so I am at 28 points and think I will have my fat free sugar free pudding for desert later for 6 points 34 total for the day minus my activity so 28 total.......isnt that how I do the activity points? Just minus it from my total?

My night time snack is fat free sugar free Jello pudding. It was one of the things I was allowed to eat on the pre op diet (like 1 cup) and have used it as my go to desert with the band. I am back to the gym now also. I go to spin class 4 days a week (it's an hour) and then do my elliptical at home the 5th day. I take Sunday off. I just joined ww last Sat so my first weigh in will be in 3 days and I soooooooo hope I am down! Wont weigh at home it will just piss me off I am sure. Today so far I have had 2 Protein shakes 8 points total gone to the gym and got 6 activity points and just ate a greek yogurt 4 points. I do think I might have gotten more than 6 activity points today because I worked my ASS off hard in spin this morning, but will keep it at 6 to play it safe.

Yahoo! Keep posting ladies and please share your food journals with me!

Amy, I drink pure protein shakes from Costco. They have 160 calories 1g sugar and 3og protein. I LIVE ON THEM! My lap band doc turned me onto them. http://www.premiernutrition.com/protein-shake.html is it really bad if you dont eat all your points? How long have you been doing WW? Are you loosing with this plan?

I love it! Thank you for posting what you ate today! Here is my day Coffee & fat free milk 1 point 30g protein shake 4 points 60 min spin class 6 activity points 30g protein shake 4 points 1 hard boiled egg @ 1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese 2 points minestrone soup 4 points Rosemary chicken 4 points 30g protein shake 4 points Fat free sugar free jello pudding made with skim milk 6 points 29 total points minus my 6 activity points and I am supposed to eat 32 points a day how do i get it all in??

So glad I just found this thread! I joined WW on Saturday so today is day 3 for me on WW. I was banded 2 years ago and lost 50 pounds. Then I just stopped. So now I have joined the gym and joined WW I am doing a spin class at the gym M/T/W/F and the elliptical at home one day during the weekend. So I work out now 5 days out of 7 and feeling fine Just confused about the dam point thing. They say I should eat 32 points a day and to me that sounds like soooooooo much. One of my friends told me I was not loosing because I was not eating enough, could that be true? Also wondering if we could start a "WHAT DID YOU EAT TODAY ON WW" thread.....what do you think? then we could all see what everyone else is eating and how many points everything has. Still cant wrap my head around fruit being 0 points!

Just wait till you know, dont panic there is nothing you can do. Just wait, I know a lady who had a great pregnancy with her band in place ... the band isnt an issue.

I hicup all the time, almost after everything I eat. For me it's my sign that my band is perfect, I love my hicups it reminds me my band is working. I have been banded for 2 years as well. Unlike you I still have to loose weight to be ideal but I feel much better than I did pre band. I never feel full....ever! It sucks and thats why I munch and nibble to much. If I took a bit out of my band maybe I could fill up more however I think I would eat too much so am willing to live with the hunger. You have to decide for you but my choice was to just drink a shake and deal.

Oh ya the first few days of the pre op diet is just hell. It was 2 years ago for me and I still remember it well, the bad news is that it will just suck for a while. I was dizzy and sick for 2 weeks solid what I did do at night was eat a cracker or something and even though I was not supposed to it was just fine and got rid of the sick feeling before bed. Fat free sugar free jello pudding was my saving grace can you have that?

No you wont be able to go on rides right after surgery. It hurts, its surgery!

I think getting together would be AWESOME! Only problem will be picking a day and time that will work with most of us. I can not do evenings at all but could do a morning coffee around 10am someplace....anyone free about that time?

I eat Chobani Greek and love it! Have you tried that one?

Hi! Well I am sorry to tell you that the pre op diet just sucks. It was 2 years ago for me and I still remember how sick I felt. all day and all night! I was on the pre op diet for 3 weeks, after my first 7 days it did get better but I will tell you that looking back on it now 2 years later it was worth every dizzy spell and trow up. Dont cheet, and keep strong it's just the beginning of your journey.

All you need is a fill! It will get better but the hunger will never go away...you do have to eat to live I am 2 years post op!

OK I need to get back on this site for support! I weighed this morning and I gained weight with all the Halloween candy AHHHHHHHHHH SO I am going to get it off hard and fast! Breakfast: Costco protein shake 30g protein Lunch: Egg protein shake 50 g protein LOTS of green tea! Dinner: I dunno....maybe some chicken breast. I want to get 10 pounds OFF FAST! In 11 days I want to be down 10 and the reason I know I can do it is because on my pre op diet I lost 10 the first 7 days ...... gotta get rid of the dam candy!

Oh God ya I still feel sooo fat. When I look at myself in the mirror I see that I am better when I have clothes on but still not great. When I am naked watch out because I feel like I still weigh 300 pounds. I dont think that feeling will ever go away, all I can do is try to stay positive and NOT eat an more Halloween candy!
