Has anyone evre tried the Dukan program before the lapband ? Did it work a little ? I'm waiting for my date of operation (probably in more or less 8 months) but I'de like to try this to lose a little wait in the next few months...

I didn't try the diet but I did try the recipe for the Dukan pancake. Love It !!!! It Good luck !!

it closely resembles south beach, atkins, metabolic research, well bout every other low carb high protein diet. They do work, if you can stick to them.

I am currently on the Dukan Diet with my band......

I had my band fitted 11 months ago and so far had lost 56 pounds (24 to go) but since January I have lost almost nothing so I had a second adjustment to my band which is now as tight as I think I can take, quite restictive, but still lost nothing so I deceided to try and get a kick start and the Dukan Diet looks good - very high protein, virtually no fat or carbs.

I am now on day 4 of the Attack phase and have so far lost 4 pounds which I'm very pleased with. My only issue is that I can't eat as much as I possibly should be, but I'm not hungry at all which is great.

I went for this diet because it is a long term plan with a Consolidationa and Stabilisation phase, not just a short term thing.

I was finding that with just the band I can still cheat too much and need to refocus on what I am eating and not expect it to help me lose weight just because it is there. This works to start with, it is hard not to lose weight but as time goes on and you have less to lose it gets a lot harder. I'm pretty sure that I could actually put on quite a bit of weight with the band if I'm not careful.

I have not heard of the Dukan diet. Thought I had tried them all. LOL

Tried the Dukan diet as a 'last' diet before I decided to go for surgery, I lost 3kg in 3 weeks, but at the end of 3 weeks, I hated everything called meat/fish/chicken/diaries as it was all what I could have - I missed fruits, vegs, and juices. I gave up and decided to go for lap band.

Had my surgery 2/5/12 and lost already 5kg, I am eating very well think I need a fill which I will have only in the 9th of June.
