Tomorrow is my three month sleeversary and I want to list the things I love about the sleeve:

Controlling what I eat, instead of it controlling me

Smaller clothes! Although this is ongoing and every changing

Knowing my limit in terms of eating and feeling satisfied thanks to sleeve

All glory to the sleeve LOL

Also I want to know how many other sleevers had multiple attempts at changing their life through the corporate liars I call Weight Watchers. I have spent so much money and time with them and it was all for naught, please tell mesomeone else has had this experience.

You are not alone! I have probably spent thousands of dollars over the last 30 years with WW.

I had a bad experience with them. When I plataued they acted like I had done something wrong. They act like women aren't supposed to gain Fluid weight before their periods.

When I needed proof of my meetings for the insurance company they were absolutely horrid.

Part of the issue is they only hire people who have lost weight and maintained on weight watchers which usually means leaders that have only lost about 20-30lbs. It makes sense of course business wise.

Also the system is constantly changing. The support part does help but when it comes down to it is still is about will power and the spend your points on what you like mentality doesn't really encourage balanced eating

My 17 tear old lost 65 pounds in one year on weight watchers. She's dedicated and motivated so WW worked great for her.

Also, my mother who is 8 years post bypass follows WW to maintain her weightloss.

I think it works for some people, but for people who have true food issues and have a lot to lose, it isn't right for them.

But everyone is different.

I hate that it constantly changes. I was doing well on it until they changed everything. I hate that it is mainly just a money maker and that they have to keep changing it so you have to go out and buy all new cookbooks, calculators, etc.

I also felt like my leader wasn't very helpful and that the people I was in group with were pretty addicted to food but that was never a topic.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
