Hi all,

I tried WW in the past before banding and liked the points system to help keep me on track. So, I was wondering since we consume considerably less food after getting fills (mine is scheduled for tomorrow, yayyyy!!). Is tracking the points any different than before being banded?

Thank you!

Hello PSJ,

I did WW in the past and found it very helpful... However, since surgery I still try to eat as if I am on WW but I no longer track the points, primarilly because I am taking in less food than required by WW. Hope your first fill tomorrow goes better than mine. The doctor could not locate my port, I know have to make an appointment to have a Fluoroscopy done.

Good Luck!

There is a thread dedicated to the band at ww. You can find it at:

A lot of us use points. However, not everyone does. Hope this link helps!

I am planning on following ww once I have my band. I think I will be eating more protien and less of everything else. I do not want to lose my hair. This happened to my mother. She was doing only ww and not getting enough protien. We will really have to watch what we eat!!

I think there are quite a few posters who go to WW. The group support is great and the weekly weigh-in provides accountability. I have been thinking about it....

I use the food journal at www.lapbandjourney.com -- I was only banded 8/20 so I don't have a lot of foods yet. But it does allow me to add the Soup as a serving and will recalculate it for me when I only have 1/2 or 1/3 of the serving. It shows how many calories and how many carbs and where you are at with Protein.

I also did WW in the past and liked the points. I like this just as well and the price is great - FREE!:thumbup:
