weigh****chers or other diets after wls?

Well weekends are an excuse for me to eat, I still ate good food but I over did it on my carbs. I am having no restriction at all with foods my first fill is this tuesday so I am very hopeful that I will feel restriction at this time I feel no different than when I am on a diet . I am struggling trying to follow a diet that has the right foods. I really would like to joing weigh****chers but how would I follow it with 1500 limit? I have decided I need to join a group and get weighed weekly but I need to join one that is okay withWLS members. Or do I just not tell them. With the point system I have no idea how the points convert to calories does any one know?

Have you thought about joining TOPS. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly). Is there one in your area? TOPS recognizes weight loss surgery as an accepted form of weight loss. I am a TOPS leader in my area and I had a VSG in October. Plus, our group only charges $8 a month. Of course there is a $30 charge to join but that gives you a one year subscription to our awesome magazine. Why don't you look into it. You can be honest and get loads of support at TOPS.

Check it out...

I am not sure if they have one to go to  around me, is there a diet to follow? I need some guidance more than I received from the hospital.

You will have a bit of restriction after this fill but it probably won't last more than a week. I had 3 or 4 fills brefore restriction lasted, but there are others, though rare, that have full restriction after the first fill. I have had to be unfilled twice and I currently have zero restriction and can (and do, unfortunately) eat anything.
As for joining a weight loss group, you still have to follow the band rules. When the band is working, it is relatively easy to lose weight. It is at times like bandster hell and unfills, that  the extra support of a group helps.
