I was just wondering, does anyone follow the Weight Watchers program or any other program after getting banded? I've been banded for 2 years now, and was sucessfully in the beginning and started gaining weight back because I wasn't following any of the band's rules.

Now I am starting over and would don't know where to begin with eating.

All suggestions welcome.

I like the whole idea of it but my food choices are so limited that i wonder if the points will work for me.

i started the program 2 weeks prior to the surgery and lost 10 pounds. I was told to follow the core program for bst results ith the lap band. Right now I am only 9 days post op and on puree foods, but yes i will follow the core plan

You couldn't pay me to go on Weight Watchers. I've tried the plan probably 6 times without luck. I got the band to get restriction. If I don't have restriction I need a fill. A fill usually does the trick to have me start losing again. I would take my 40 lb lose in 8 months over an 80 lb loss on Weight Watchers any time. I hate counting points. The core program is okay but is limiting. I got banded to eat, just smaller amounts.

I have been attending WW since the months before I was banded. I decided to attend in order to lose the 10lbs prior to surgery recommended by my MD. I have continued to attend because the support has been wonderful. I love my meeting and my meeting leader. I use the daily good health guidelines and make sure to get all my correct servings of foods (even though they are much smaller) and I enjoy the accountability of the weekly weigh in. No one knows at my meetings that I have had WLS and that is something that I felt very conflicted about. BUt the more I think about it, I could choose to still eat chips, candy and ice cream as it goes down without a hitch...but for the most part I do not, and if I do, I acknowledge my indulgence by writing it down and admitting it to myself, as opposed to the mindless eating I did in the past. And another thing, I go to the gym at least 5x/week and bust my butt. So my weightloss is still being done "the hard way" in my book. Sure, I have a tool that helps with portion control (thankfully!), but I still have to work it to be healthy.

I love my WW meetings and will continue to go. My surgeon and nutritionist gave me a thumbs up for it too.
