weight watchers

[CHUCKY]

hello all
has anyone post op tried going back to weight watchers?
i seem to be really struggling at moment have lost 10 stone but still need to loose at least another 6 stone.
Just wandered if this would be beneifitial and i would be able to eat all my points.
Thankyou in advance xx

well done on losing 10 stone, thats fantastic.
my daughter has recently started to go back to weight watchers, and this new pro plus system theyve got now, looks really complicated, she said its quite hard to do till youve got the hang of it, but once you know how it works properly, its actually better. i think it would take me a while to get my head round it. but it might be a good idea to try it, youve got nothing to lose have you, and you will probably do really well, because its structured, it will give you an incentive. and youll also get support of a different kind too. as long as you still come on here though, dont leave us for ww. good luck, hugs xxx

will let you know how it goes .

thanks again xx

I think a lot of people forget that the average weight loss is nowhere near 100% of the excess weight. It may be that you have reached your plateau, speak to your team before spending money and joining. Help from their dietician is probably better than WW in the long term

i think you would find it really hard, the new system means you have a lot more points. i joined a few weeks ago and am pre op i just need to lose as much as i can in the next few weeks before my op, but i am really struggling to eat all the points im allowed and trust me i can eat for england, the leader has told me shes worried im not eatting enough for the new diet to work properly , i think this would be the case if you tried to do it . congrats on the weight loss so far xx

I am about 8st overweight according to healthy bmi,my doc said I should expect to lose 5-6st so I would be about 12-13st.

 

[CHUCKY]

i am confussed now are you saying i will not loose anymore weight now?
I just think i need to change ,my diet around a bit.

thanks for your replies x

 

[dawny]

chucky huni, i think with what christine has just said, i would think again about going back to ww, if you have to eat so much for it to work, i dont think it would work, theres no way your gonna be able to eat anywhere near the amount you would need to. i know my daughter said she has a problem to eat all that she is allowed. what about slimming world, or maybe just trying to eat more protein, and drinking loads, i always find that when i eat more protein and drink more, my weight loss speeds up.

 

[christine77]

sorry julie if my message sounded confussing, what im saying is like dawny says , i dont think the weight watchers diet will work for you because your bypass wont physically let you eat the quantities that you need to for the diet to work.

maybe just go back to basics , its daft paying money to go back to w w if it isnt going to work

Hi Julie, long time no see I have toyed with w/w for the last three months, which considering i'm 7 months post op and 60lbs down is pretty bad isn't it?

Seriously i don't know if you'd eat all the points, i'm guessing you may have to eat more 'point' loaded foods to work your way through your allowance, and i guess these may well be carbs which is not encouraged post op...

Fantastic loss, i bet your unrecognisable now x

hi again i do feel great i must admit but to be honest still feel like a failure:sigh:
still need to loose a quite a bit of weight just though maybe a change of food might help. thanks everyone for youe input much apprieciated xx

 

[zns]

You might not loose anymore thats true, the average loss is about 25% of the total body weight. Speak to your team and see what they think

 

[dawny]

chucky, why dont you try jigging your food around, eat more protein and fruit, stay away from carbs, and drink more fluids, i reckon that will give your body the jolt it needs to get you going again, we can give you encouragement on here, were all rooting for you, look at mixxy, he lost 16 stone, so it is possible, just cos it says you will lose a percentage, isnt gospel, its just a ball park figure, ive lost almost 87% of my weight, ok i didnt have as much to lose as you, but ive done it, but its taken me from april to lose 5 stone. its just come off slow n steady. im sure you will start losing again, dont worry, just have a go at changing your diet round a bit, youve got nothing to lose have you huni. big hugs xxx
