Hi ladies. Just checking in. I got banded on 08/17/09. So far so good. I've been lurking here and at pats laps. I don't have any fat clothes to pass down to the girls on pats laps so I don't have much to say 'cause I seem to be the only guy doing this. Does anyone know of another man who's been banded lately? Wishing you all well, Bill

Dear friends, I am new to this, and to nutrition. I am a 60 year old man who has NEVER cooked. I am having a terrible time putting together a liquid diet and blenderzed diet that will meet the criteria. Does anyone know where I can get these things, or can someone post this for me and other dummies? If I don't have it soon, I will lose my surgery date and this last attempt at health will fall apart. Thanks all and good luck!:tongue2:

WOW, you guys are great! This is just the kind of help I need. Keep it coming! No matter how this turns out for me< good luck to both of you and may GOD bless you. Thanks, Bill

Thanks so much for your reply Bashful! I have met with the nutritionist but here they seem to think if you're not able to do it alone you're not motivated enough. I have a meeting tomorrow when I was supposed to have had my 3 day liquid diet done and my menus set up for the post op blenderized. I haven't done either. I'm totally at a loss as where to begin. I will ask tomorrow if they won't just give me a diet to follow. I can follow directions just fine and will do what I'm told. I just don't know what to do in the kitchen. Pretty sad I know, but that's how it is. I've been divorced and living out of the microwave for 20 years, thus the 100 extra lbs. I've packed on. Maybe there's just no hope for me? Thanks again, Bill
