Hi all I was just wondering if any of u were doing weight watchers with your band and if so how is it going. I just got banded on the 14th of oct and im thinking about doing ww and curves as well with my band. What do you all think of this?

Not too sure how that would work? Weight watchers does a point system, which takes place of counting calories. People without the band eat more calories than we can.

My doctor has me on a 1000 calorie diet. I eat 1cup of food 3times a day. With weight watchers if i remember right, you eat Snacks between meals and ALOT more food.

It is a great program, just not sure how it goes with banding.

Hope this helps

hi neesh,

there are a bunch of us doing WW. i started doing it near goal but some people are doing it as they are losing weight. i'm doing it to help with the discipline of journaling and to help with head hunger.

we have a thread to check in periodically. under search type in "weight watchers" and it will pull up

good luck

here's the thread name:

So did you start WW since your almost at your goal or did you start off with it. I just had surgery 10/13/09 so I don't know what do you think.

The psychologist at my surgeon said a lot of people do it for the discipline and record keeping once they move to solids. I have heard, that WW is NOT a fan of WLS and I would refrain from mentioning it there. My friend had GBP and was stuck after 4 years (not working it either) when she was struggling and told the leader, the leader told her she has different needs than the other client who were willing to "do the work" and basically shunned her.

Well I wasn't planning on going to any meetings or anything. I was on ww before in the past and still have my books so I was just gonna do it that way. Yeah im sure going to a meeting and saying you had surgery wouldn't be a good idea.
