No and no.

Ok i know when i went to ww last time i had sooo many pro points i couldnt eat my weekly ones...slimming world ive always done well with because they are low in bad carbs but i eat tooo much lol make ya mind up sal lol x

I did tell them but guess you don't have to and yes I am eating my full points but as I've come in at the back end of my journey I only get 26 per day. To be honest ww helps as I get weighed formally so prevents cheating so much, but I do heed the learns from my nutrionist by eating more protein and less carbs! Still to this date don't have rice pasta etc x

I have joined Slimming World as my weight became static and I was eating all the wrong things
Yes I told them I had a band so I cannot take part in Slimmer of the Week but I felt the need to be honest as I know the consultant at the class quite well.
I have been attending a month and along with another fill I have lost six pounds so its working for me

My dietician has only said chew your food lots take loads of breaks in between meals...no actual food advice..thing is i luv pasta and rice ..xx

Check with your provider because some do say you can eat pasta and rice after 3 months, if you /your band can cope with it. I do eat maybe a couple of ounces of either every so often and I am fine with them. It's strange for me because I have only just reintroduced potato into my diet again, because I struggled with that. But jacket potato with tuna is Soooo filling now, it's great! We are all different and it's about finding out what works best for us I don't avoid carbs altogether, but I find they leave you feeling hungrier sooner :sigh:

 

[gizmogirl]

I will honest the only thing i strugle with is spicy food i can eat normal other than that toooo much xx

Can you ask for a diet sheet so you can start the good habits now, that will work for you longer term? Otherwise if it's going to help you focus, personally I would join sw or ww - where is the harm, you may just need to adjust your approach to work with the band best.
