Banded 2/9/07

Hello, Today I received my band from Dr. Spivak in Houston. All is going well. I've been visiting this site to gather info prior to the banding. Thank you all for posting useful infomation. I've got a lot to lose - at least 120 lbs. Since like many people, I've tried so many different diets that I'm still undecided as to what diet to follow after banding. Perhaps I should try Weight Watchers again or The South Beach diet-never tried South Beach. I'm the Primary care giver of my mom and can not get out of the house much. I really need something simple to follow since much of my time is needed to assit mom and her needs, work part time, tire easily, etc. etc. Mom's a sweety - glad to help her. Which diet plan, Weight Watchers or South Beach, is the least time consuming and effective to use? Any ideas? Thanks, Bogger Red

Welcome Bogger. You may want to take a look at the food threads for ideas. I'm not doing any particular diet. I'm just trying to eat well, that is, get all my nutrients.

Good luck with your journey.
