Anyone try Weight Watchers WHILE banded?

Hi, my name is Pam, but around my house I am known as the PLATEAU QUEEN.

ARGH!!!:angry

My body just like to arbitrarily STICK at a number and not budge for weeks. I've walked myself into "shin-splints" several times -- it seems the only thing that will jump start me to losing again is to have a 'blow-out' weekend, where I eat whatever I want.

This is reminding me -- painfully so! -- of when I would do Weight Watchers. If I ate at the low end or BELOW my points rage, I would either sit still or have a minimal loss -- like .04# or something. But if I ate on the high end or ABOVE, I'd lose 1.5 to 2.0 a week!

I'm beginning to suspect I'm not eating enough! I'm SO focused on getting in the protein, that I'm really not even looking at calories. I just know VOLUME-wise, I'm probably consuming 1/6th of what I used to.

I told my hubby tonight that I'm thinking about going back to WW.....he looked at me like I'd grown a horn or something!

What do ya'll think...?
