Weight Watchers to the rescue!

Hello all!! I am 9 pounds down since 2/28/12. Yeah Boi! I joined Weightwaters a couple of weeks ago and lost a total of 10 pounds as of Friday. All I can say is that I realize more than ever that this band is a "tool" and not a quick fix.

I joined Weight Watchers because I found that I needed help knowing how good or bad things were that I was eating. The points calculator has saved me tremendously while grocery shopping. I now tend to eat alot of zero point foods like vegies. I see now that I can eat alot of high protein and fiber foods and they end up being very low in points. I am understanding the way food works alot better with WeightWatchers. Since January of 2011 I am down 39 pounds which is still good since I had a baby 5 months ago. As long as I keep losing this weight, I am on track.

I just wanted to give an update.

Day11 Post Op

Good Morning! Today is Day 11 Post-Op and I feel amazing.  One thing has been on my mind, however. My stomach is at full capacity and I can over-eat if I choose to. That is very nerve-racking.  My Doc said until the first maybe 3 fills, I may not feel restriction at all. So my weight loss right now is basically all up to me!My first fill is on 2/15/11 and I must wait 4 weeks in between fills.  It was suggested that I incorporate Weight Watchers by counting points for everything I eat.  One thing I found interesting though;  I ate 2 hard boiled eggs for dinner and I chewed them well but when I swallowed, it was as if they were having a hard time going down. I could literally feel the eggs going down past the band. I'm not sure if its that eggs were thick n' dry or what. I had no choice but to take a sip of water.  I am down 1.5 pounds which is o.k. I wish it was more but I'll take any weight loss.  My hubby can see weight loss in my backside and the small of my back. I can see it in my thunder-thighs..LOL!  So, I am feeling great this morning. Later today, I'll hit the treadmill.  Gotta work with my band.


Until Later,
SMOOCHES!!!
