Hi,

I did weight watchers a while back without much success. I think I just wasn't ready. I am thinking of joining. I think the structure and the almost theraputic meetings will be good for me. I know the diet isn't extremely band friendly- seems like a lot of carbs. Do you think it makes sense to join, go to the meetings, but tweek the diet a little? I may have the wrong impression about the diet- it's been a long time and I don't really remember the details. Just know you count points and points of food is based on fat, fiber and cals (i think). Would love to hear from anybody who has or is doing the program. I have heard they are not very wls friendly, so I doubt I will bring that up at a meeting. Thanks!

There is a weight watchers group here. Check them out. Do a search for WW.

I dont belong to WW but I have a banded friend that did it and was very successful.

Good luck.

For me it would just be one more expence.....but if it works for you and you can afford it....GO FOR IT !!!!

Every bit of support counts.....

be very careful with their boxed entrees they are high in salt and rice and carbohydrates wich is not band friendly. If you can cook some of the recaipes in the cook books to suit your band by leaving out the rice you should be fine. Just remember to weigh your portions as some servings can be more hten a lapband portion. Let me know how you do.

I really have a hard time with why people have weight loss surgery and still do other diets like weight watchers, help me out here why?

You have the best profile picture! Love the irony, humor, and keepin the faith!!!! Good luck on your journey, mine has not begun yet.

I'd save my money and meet with a Bariatric nutritionist/ dietician instead. They can outline what you need to do in just a few meetings to get you on the right track.
