Hi Tracy,

I'm still banded and I plan to return to weight watchers because one it will be a lot easier now that I'm banded and two I really like the way of eating. I do not feel deprived of anything. So good luck!:)

Hey Tracey,

MY thought is this - DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO!!!!!!

WW is a GREAT diet. So many of their products are found at your local store - which makes so easy to follow the plan.

I wish you lots of success with your continuing journey!!!

Best of luck - you know you can keep it off! Keep focused and you will be so proud when you lose that 20lbs through sheer will-power and good habits. I really hope it goes well.

WW is great! I joined WW last year while I was banded to help me stay on track. Now that I'm unbanded, I plan to rejoin in the near future (after I heal from surgery two weeks ago) to help me lose the weight I've gained over the past year. Good luck to you! I've met many people online that have used WW to lose over a hundred pounds. It works.

Hi Tracey,

I was only banded a few weeks ago, but I did my WW points for my pre-op diet and my surgeon and I were both pleased with the results. Now that I am banded, and have started on mushies, I am continuing to count points. I am using the points as a guideline for how much I should be eating.

WW has always workied for me (until I quit and gained it all back). It is a tried and true method.

Good luck - I really wish you the best!

I started NutriSystem this week. My unbanding had resulted in a quick 10 lb. gain. This is my last week of school (high school English teacher), and it's been hard to resist the lounge food treats. I'm hoping that being out of school will help me to commit to an exercise program. Wish me luck! Best to all of you!!

I am one of the most inconsistent people on the planet when it comes to "programs." Weight loss, skin care, exercise, nail care, fitday, showing up for work (!)...the day-to-day of it all sends me into a fetal position on the couch. (Perhaps the reason why I HAD to go the wls route.)

My sister on the other hand, can get on that pony and RIDE. She lost about 75 pounds--in about a year and a half--with WW and NutriSystem and Curves. (She stalled out last Christmas and she recently mentioned getting back on track...her grandmotherly duties have been distracting her.)

But she can do it and she is happier with her progress in that arena that she would be with any wls...

After my weight started creeping up after my band was removed, I joined Weight Watchers and gained five pounds in the first week. That was the end of that. My inner-self just has a huge resistance to anything that involves restriction/diets/programs, etc. I actually end up eating more than if I wasn't on a "diet." So many people are successful, I'm obviously not one of them. Good luck to the WW fans.

I think Weight Watchers is a good program.

Good luck on continuing your successful journey!

I'm thinking of going back to Weight Watchers for the millionth time. How are you doing with it?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
