*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?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
