Pro's and Con's

Anyone have any pro's and con's on the NutriSystem Nourish program? Be honest !!! Darlene

In my VERY pre-op days I did Nutri-systems. I lost weight, but boy did I get some serious kidney infections - they told me that it was one of the draw backs of the program. Mind you this was like 18 years ago!

It's a whole different program now. It's called Nutri Systems Nourish. I looked around their website and called and talked to some "not nice" lady. My husband told me to check it out as we are having such a hard time with my meals. Darlene

hmmm... I think I've seen them advertise on QVC - you might want to search them if you're going to utilize the products. It might be a lot nicer way of dealing with the "not so nice lady"

It appears to be ok so far in my readings and my phone calls. You can talk to a dietician and counsler everyday. No membership fees, and no committments. If you don't like you can send back. I questioned about the desserts. They are all make with Splenda according to the one person I talked to. I need to read some more about it. Thanks for your reply. Darlene

Sorry Darlene I know nothing about it at all. Why are you having a hard time with your meals? Hope all is well otherwise.

My ex was on it when we were married....ended up having a gall bladder attach and having to have it removed...but he had lost like 70 lbs...to my 25. of course he gained it all back plus some and ended up having WLS about 5 months after I did...copycat! Are you thinking of joining or just doing research? Julie

I'm leaning toward it very strongly. I've already lost the gallbladder so won't have to worry about that.... it's a 1200 calorie diet 5 meals a day. No membership fees, and no comittment. The dietician said that all the desserts are made with splenda, so won't have to worry to much about dumping..... Darlene
