weigh****chers pre WLS??
Just a quick question. Comments on following WW program prior to surgery? I am at the beginning of my journey......orientation next Thursday. A friend wants to join and I thought any loss is better for me before WLS so why not join with her?
Need the experts to give me their advice/recommendations please.
Thanks so much!!!

Of all of the packaged programs, I believe WW is the most balanced and useful. It's really just sensible food choices, portion control, and adds a support group element as well. If you want to give it a try, why not?

Thanks Karen.....its about accountability for me I guess and really to help out my very best friend who struggles as I do but hasn't got to the surgery stage in her head as yet. She might and she might not ever. She doesn't think her doc will refer her.....he's a bit of a goof in my opinion.
Ok....we r meeting for tea later today and I think we will sign up.
Tx Karen for the superfast response. I will post updates here during my journey to WLS. The more support the better. :).

Weigh****chers was the only program I has success with. They do teach you a lot about healthy choices and that will definitely help you in the long run. Best of luck!

I agree with the others that Weigh****chers is the most sensible program, not a diet so much as a way of life. I would say, why not?
