Hello! I wanted to start up a ongoing support thread for all of us who are actively seeking the extra help from either regular Weight Watchers or most especially Weight Watchers Online.

I do not have the money to fork over for extra fees to attend the WW meetings etc. I also am not sure how many banded folks there are on their message board. I thought this would be a good place to hang out, discuss how well or not well we are staying within our points system, our extra activities and whatnot.

We can share ideas or new recipes, or just anything related to Weight Watchers... and even keep each other accountable.

Help me, I need support!!

Still here. I'm going to my first post-op WW meeting Friday. Gonna tell them I had my gall bladder out last week (to excuse my absence). I HAVE had my gall bladder out but that was almost two years ago. Been wanting an egg salad sandwich but I'm almost there. Pureed for the next few days then I can move on to minced and soft. Started drinking my son's chocolate milk and I'm going to have to wean me off it again (drat, I love that stuff).

Rsilvera, gall bladder surg that is funny. So today i got my hair cut very short diyed and my eyebrows waxed. Let me tell yah i do belive i'm starting to look like one hot momma! he he!

A trainer sounds great! That is just what I need but in the summer the kids are out of school and I like to work with her at bout 10:00 so my husband said I could join with her in August. I can't wait she really takes the pounds off me. Off for the summer sounds good. Chicken gets stuck sometimes I hate that. I started back at the gym and walking. Not eating good plus no exersice is why i feel like i do. Yesterday i took my 10 year old with me and it was so funny to watch her work out with the weights i got a kick out of it. welp have great one guys.

Rsilvera where you been girl?

Well, got back from my meeting. They were trying to get me to pay for the week I missed. I don't think they liked it when I said I couldn't make it because of doctor's orders but they didn't make me pay. The meeting was huge this time. All the retirees are back from Florida or coming down from Philadelphia for the summer. Couldn't wait to get out of there. No one would shut up and it was hard to hear the leader (even though I was in the front row).

hi evryone hows it going well im doing good. glad to hear ya went back to ww. i have been walking and that seems to be doing ok. how is everyone hang in there. well hope is everyone is good lets keep up the good work. got back from my meeting.

Hey guys just got back from vacation with my family. It was great and very relaxing. I had so much good food i thought i would gain put didn't. I guess swimming in the lake all week helped. I so need to get back on track back to the gym I go tomorrow. I'm calling my dr tomorrow cause i need a fill and don't get one till the 14 of july. Guys I so need a kick in the butt.

China glad your doing good.

Hey everyone! It's so great to see this thread is still alive and kicking. May I commend everyone for sticking to WW plan. It is a good one, however it was not one that I was able to move forward with. I simply do not have the time to keep up with writing everything down all day.

I need something much more practical and maybe with a bit more spontaneity. WW always left me frustrated because I had to look everything up and remember every little detail. Frustrated is not what I need because I easily fall off the wagon, so I just couldn't do it.

I am getting back to reality. I need a plan where I can keep the rules in my head and not stress so much on my "fun time" as in once a week I get to have a Breakfast of my choice, etc.

I'm not knocking WW either! I think its a really great plan, and it will work if you're the type that finds that sort of plan ideal. I wish it would work for me.

I am coming back to my healthy habit plans a little at a time. Sometimes we do fall far off the beaten path and for me, its better I take baby steps back. I do NOT want to crash again like I did before. I want to ease back into the correct way of thinking and make it my own again. I hope I'm making sense!

Best of luck to all you ladies. Stick with it, it sounds like it's a good plan for all of you. I'm super proud to see this thread lives on. :tt1:

Wish I didn't have to journal but I find if I don't write everything down, I gain weight. Better to deal with a little inconvenience. I had meeting today and was surprised to find I had lost .5 pounds. I've been eating like a horse since I've been able to get back to mostly normal eating.

Ok I have lost 0 pounds in 4 weeks so starting tomorrow no more good food. Yesterday I started doing set ups on the exersice ball did 30 in the morning and 30 before bed. Me and my ten year old are going to start px90 tomorrow. If i don't get with the program i will not meet my goal of 200 by Oct. hope all had a fun 4th of july

hi everyone how is it going? im doing ok just coming back from hot florida and wasnt able to write as my cuz doesnt think a computer is apart of life and doesnt own 1. i was going crazy there but, thats a whole nother story but, in any case im home now and am sad to say i have gained 2.2lbs all i eat was ice cream and but, its ok i had fun eating it hell it was burning up down there. and watermelon. but, that is old news not time to get my tail in gear and drop those fl. lbs. so where is everyone hope ya come back as i sure missed you guys.

I actually lost 2 pounds this week. I've been sick and haven't felt like cooking. The only thing that tasted good is ice cream. I have a horrid sore throat. In an effort to not sabotage my efforts though, I ate WW ice cream (but I still manage to eat the entire box--won't be doing that again soon). Hopefully this sickness goes away soon. I hate looking like I'm testing my Halloween costume (I have pink eye in both eyes).

Seen you guys made it back to the site. It was getting kinda lonely on here.LOL! RSilversea hope you get better soon. Pink eye is no fun hope your child don't get it.Great weightloss.

China Florida sounds so good right now which part did you go to? We are going in Oct thats if the oil stays away from panama city. I have gained too don't feel bad. I just went and got a fill I'm almost where i was before they empteyd my band. I do feel some restriction so i hope it helps. I am just getting so sad. Hope this fill does the trick so far it is can't eat that much so for a week or two will probably just do calories since i"m eating alot of soups. Have good day glad everyones back.

Hi Everyone I'm new here and I'm getting banded August 6th!! In the past I did Weight Watchers and I loved it except that I was hungry all the time. I thought about trying it again with my band though.

Are you ladies counting points or doing Simply Filling? What is a typical day of eating like for you? I logged my food every day and I have 9 months worth of my daily menus written down but I'm thinking most of that stuff may not be Lap Band friendly.

How are you all doing this??

Thanks!!

Amanda

welcome spoiltmom glad to have ya i thing you will like the group. well to answer your question i do points im allowed 42pts however i dont eat that many. feel free to go back and read older posts and alot of your questions will be answered. and congradulations on your up coming date im so proud of you. im glad i got my band although i havent lost as much as i would have liked to im however have came a long way and with this band i will make it to that finish line. the best advice i can give is take it one day at a time. and know that we have all been there and we are here to support one another. and remember there will be good days and there will be bad ones just hang in there it does get better. lol.
