I was banded 1/3/2012 This past month was been crazy... Im feeling awesome and looking Awesome and starting to workout every chance I get. Was wondering if anyone has tried weight watchers and if you guys think it would be cool to do it with the band. Ive been kinda doing it for 3 or 4 dAYs.. pretty easy. still in bandster hell with the 3 pound shuffle but ive lost about 6 or 7 inchest this month. I get my first fill on the 8th so in a sort week or so I will finally have restriction. W00t.. anyways.. weight watchers yes or no?

I have tried WW before, with of course no success among every other diet known to man. However I will say WW has the most sound nutritional value if you compare most plans. I think for now I'm sticking hard core to my nutritionists plan, but could see myself as I add more things to my diet adapting to WW. Congrats on your weightloss since surgery!

If it is working then stay with it! I never had much success with it, and my Dr. says no carbs if you want to lose the weight, and those WW meals are full of carbs and sodium, so I am going to avoid carbs as much as possible and see how this goes. Good Luck!!

I think it's whatever works for you and that you see as something sustainable. I do think that lower carbs is the way to ose weight, but it's not feasible to avoid all carbs.

I have tried WW like 4 times. It is a lot of work to count your points, but now with the smart phone apps it makes it a little easier. I agree with JustDoIt30 do what is best for you. :)

My mom is on WW and when I compare her diet to the one my nutritionist has laid out, they are not the same at all. WW tends to have a lot of carbs and sugar, which is a big no-no on the nutritionist plan. Also, my nutritionist told me that raw veggies and such can be tough to handle early on in the band process and should come second to Protein always. I think that you should check with your docs to see what they say about it. They may be able to give you a modified version or tell you what is good and bad to follow.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
