vlp1968 83 Posted October 24, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
♕ajtexas♕ 3,771 Posted October 24, 2012 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. 1 dee257 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

icestorm12132008 39 Posted October 24, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Summerrain 520 Posted October 25, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
