Its been a its been a year and 8 months since surgery and its getting difficult to lose. My friend mentioned weigh****chers and I was wondering if any of you have tried it and if its helpful??

I have a couple WLS friends who have done WW a couple years post-op. I can't say that the food plan is really tailored to WLS patients, but if you're willing to make the adjustments and focus on using your points for more protein, less carbs, you could probably do it.
But, the big secret with WW and any of the more successful diet programs - eating sensible, TRACKING, and support/accountability. You dont need to follow a WW plan to get the benefits, but like i said, if you think that environment and accountability would work for you, go for it. Another alternative is to join MFP, get a bunch of friends from here, and start tracking and getting support that way.
It is hard to lose when you are close to goal - it really requires that you buckle down, remain super vigilant about every bite you take, and move more!

Doesn't weigh****chers use a point system based on your current weight allowing you to eat so many calories / points a day?
Somehow I don't think that would work with us VSG patients?
If I went by what weigh****chers said I could have points wise .. I'd be eatting about 2,000 calories a day at my weight.
I'm loosing weight eatting like 600-800 not 2,000. See what I mean?
I'm not sure weigh****chers is meant for people that have had bariatric surgery. Thats why we work with the surgeon and nutritionists to loose and maintain our weight.
