Cohen's Plan with Band

[annefromalbany]

Has anyone tried/been succesful using the Cohen Lifestyle Plan after banding? I was successful (lost 43kg of 60kg ) about 2 years ago, but have put back 30+. That's why I've been banded. I want to use my plan again as the quantities may be just right now. Anyone?

I have no idea about the Cohens Plan...but I'm certain that ANY plan will work great with banding, simply because the portions are now actually reasonable. A plan is only as good as it can be folllowed. Right? Go for it. I'm sure will you do great!

Hey Anne, I haven't heard of it either. But wish you all the best!

In theory really good if its a plan you like and that works with you. I dont know it, although its advertised here as well.

For myself, I've found plans no easier than before banding. I resent the lack of "choice". I like to just eat what I feel like eating when I feel like eating it. The minute I have to count points, calories, fat grams, protein grams or anything I just say "nah, I'll start tomorrow" and tomorrow never comes, lol.

Thanks Jacqui, I figured that too, that it wouldn't be easier,but I'm hoping that the portions will be satisfying, they certainly weren't the first time. Don't know how I managed for as long as I did the first time. I have no fill yet, so I can eat anything at the moment and I'm imagining what it will be like to not be hungry an hour after I eat. I have been careful and eaten small portions etc, most of the time. First fill tomorrow, so hoping to get some restriction...
