77 pounds is great have fun on your cruise!

Yes, weight watchers works as long as you don't cheat. I didn't do so well sat and sun and thought I would gain but I stayed the same. I think i was just holding some Water weight. My dr will be thrilled that i didn't gain during my unfill. I'm just glad those four long weeks will be over tomorrow. China thanks for the lecture on not being so hard on myself. You did great 6 pounds in a week. My goal this week is 2-3 pounds. I have done great for two days had 28 points yesterday.

Breakfast I had egg 2 slices turkey bacon. snack cheese stick.

lunch 2 turkey hot dogs with two light bread. oscar miyer hot dogs are great and only 40 calories a piece. the bread is only 70 calories for two slices. I try and get light or fat free stuff so my points spread farther.

mid day snack cheese string

supper i will cook grilled chicken with toast lettece baked potato with cheese and baken bits.

7:00 snack1 bag light popcorn

i eat the same food as before just smaller portions I look at the back for the calories and use my point finder.

China that is great! Is this your first or second time weighing in a t ww. I have dome ww for years thats the only diet I can lose on because you can have anything you want as long as you stay within your points. I got a fill yesterday I have a total of 4cc in my band and I'm going to keep it like that. I seem to be handling my fill pretty good. I will not be getting another fill for awhile because its summer time and i like to cook out. Plus I do fine with ww plan. I did need some in the band though so when I get hungrey the band does help me get full faster. I weighed in at the dr and had lost six pounds in the last four weeks so thats better than I thought plus woke up this morning and had lost two more. Someone asked about ww meals I have had them in the past and some are pretty good. I'm not much on sweets but the little ww ice cream bowls are so good love cookie dough. I love the chicken taco forget what its called and the spaggetti etc. I just have to cook for my whole family so for me it is less cooking to just use my point finder and look at the labels from what they have. Sometimes you even get more food that way. Keep up the good work china I'm loving this site it helps me cause i joined a gym and dont have the money for ww and gym. My dr did seem pleased with the weightloss and he told me he coukd tell by looking at me I'd lost alot of inches.

skinnygirl when you least expect it the scale will move trust me. but, just cuz your not losing weight doesn't mean any thing as you can be dropping inches and that is a good thing also but, your like me i said but, the wlc doesnt count inches they count lbs. but, i would take those inches and be just as happy. i seem to be thinking about that damn scale alot lately. i was at my moms house 2day and saw her scale and got on it again and its saying im down 1.1lb since tuesday. i didnt buy a scale for this very reason. however i have noticed that i must be getting a cold and seem to be very tight and pb today. so gonna do yogurts and thing for a day or 2. my body aches das for sure. i dont feel like doing much of any thing. however i do have to get back into the gym. its a new month and i have to work my tail off as my mini goal for may is gonna be 12lbs for the month. so i will keep everyone updated on how its going. i noticed you have a hard time on the weekends like me next to my store is a bakery and it seems like it be calling me let me tell ya so i think im gonna start posting on the weekends even if its bad. however 2day it was ok.

b-1.5pk of oatmeal w/water=3pts

l-1 pb cookie, med. coff,2creams,splenda=4pt

s-med.coffee w/sug,cream_2pts

d-chinese pork w/mushrms=5pts(pb it all up)

14pts eaten out of 44

China, you are right I can tell I have lost a tone of inches. My underwear are sagging to my knees lol! Guess its time to get some new ones cause they are so big but I had put it off since you don't want to get new cloths all the time. How long have you been banded not sure if I've asked you that before? I think you said you have the lapband 10 can't remember it that right. So you have nothing at all in your band and it is tight? That is great I did good the first month with mothing in min but then it seemed to feel so loose. The dr said he put in 1 1/2 cc last time but I'm still not feeling any tighter sometimes it takes awhile for it to get tighter though. But we are starting slow fills cause I seem to swell so bad. I still have to 1 1/2 cc to be back to what I had before the unfill. Wishing you luck that the scale moves when you weigh in on tuesday I'm gonna start weighing in on my scale on tuesday so we can post our weight the same day. I am a scale obsessed freak LOL! My husband says hes going to throw my scales away. I seem to get on them every morning and night and when the scale moves up even if i know its Water weight I get very disguregged. I should really weigh once a week but can't seem to stop.:thumbup: I have done pretty good today.

Breakfast

1 Egg

fat free chips 14

lunch

sour cream fat free 3 Tablespoon

doritos 11

taco meat

tomatos 1/2 cup

mashed potatoes 1/2 cup

spoon 1tablespoon mac cheese

grilled chicken 1

ranch dressing 2 Table

corn 3 Table

1 bag popcorn snack

my points went from 30 to 28 so I will lose 2 points this week that is fine though.

i usually figure my point in this food journal i got from barnes and noble it is so handy.

when in the journey are you all taking up with WW? I'm 2 weeks post band, and it seems a bit early still but want to plan. Did you start immediately when you started eating again, or after you've had some fills? This is all a bit confusing to me?

Welcome karlzsmom, you can join us at any time. I agree with china I would start ww as soon as you can it really seems to help me. I'm not a member of ww like china but I use my books and point finder from a previous time and weigh in each week on this board. I just joined a gym so I really didn't want to pay for both. So I really appreciate china and whoever else joins this poat to keep me on my toes.

China I lost one pound this week but I will take it. I did eat good though it's time to get serious starting today. I would like to lose 10 pounds by the end of May. That was so funny bout yours dropping, yep good thing you had pant on. I better get some new ones this week cause I might not be so lucky I could moon someone. LOL! I went and got some ww meals today so when I want something different I can have them. They have a new one out its a mini hamburger 4 points. I got about 25 different ones maybe I can do better this week eating them instead of what I fix my family. The hamburger was so good well as good as a packeged hamburger can be. I love burgers but they are so many points so these will be great. I couldn't decide which to eat so I had one of each since two are in the box I can have one of each for supper. China, you will do better next week and who knows the scale might shock you like it did me last week at the dr. Others that had surgery the same month as me have done lost 60 that kinda gets to me sometimes. So you have had your band for awhile have you had any problems with it? Are you still glad you got it? Does it help you maintain the weight once lost? My dr seems to think it will help me maintain the weight after I lose it. Sure hope so. sorry so many questions but since you have had it longer your a good one to ask. My weight tracker is meesed up any clue how to get it off and add new one at the bottom of my page. Well good hope everyone has a good day. talk at ya tomorrow

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!
