The thing you should be thinking about besides calorie consumption is how you are going to pay for your liver transplant. I'm an RN...Not trying to preach, just being realistic.

<p>I'm one week from being banded and I hate to cook. I cooked for the family I grew up in later and my own 6 kids and I think I'm just burned out. My plan is to live mainly on pre-made meals like lean cousine, wieghtwatchers etc. I'm hoping one at a time will be enough after banding (Now I need at least 2 at a time) Am I being realistic? I have a bunch of nutri-system meals from my last failed diet. I plan to puree some of those for the mushie stage. Do you think that will work? Any advise is welcome.</p>

I'm not banded yet. Oct 26 is the big day. I feel like going out and buying a belt that fits me now, just to watch it get loose!

Well, I have a date...0ct 26. Doing the liq diet and very hungry. How did the rest of you get through it?

I will try the frozen slim fast tonight.:hungry:

Hi ...I'm also Oct 26. Can't wait!

When reading all these notes, I got wondering what does a person say to someone who has lost a lot of weight? Is it better to ignore it or comment? It sounds like if they say you are looking great, it insinuates you weren't before and if they ignore it, like they didn't notice. I haven't got my band yet and I don't really know what I would want people to say.

I just got my banding date. It will be Oct 26. I'm very excited!

I just got some yesterday. I poured it over shaved ice made in the snow cone maker. It was sort-a like a snowcone. Artifical sweetner always my hungry though so I was hungry and had to eat some crackers later. Lots of protien...35mgs I think.

Hey, That puppy on your page looks just like my little maltese, Sophie looked a few months ago! She is a little sweetie...............now on to the subject. PUT YOUR SCALES AWAY! You will loose weight. There is no way you can't if you are eating what you should. Don't obsess about it!

Hi, I'm going to be 67 in 2 days and I'm wondering if I'm the oldest ever to get banded. I haven't got my band yet, but hopefully will with-in the month. I would love to hear from some "senior citizens". Sharon

Hi, Hopefully I'll have my band by or in Sept. I have an appointment with my surgeon next week. Everything else is done and ins. approved it. I'm so tired of waiting. I started this process in April. Believe it or not, I hadn't heard of lapband before then. I love this site.

You look so good! Do you need plastic surgery on the tummy? Can't tell it if you do.

I am 66 and planning to be banded very soon. I don't think I'm too old. You are just a kid! Go for it. The next 50 yrs will be worth living if you can run, dance, climb stairs and wear pretty clothes!

Hi Everyone, I love this site! I've been reading all your helpful info for a couple weeks. I'm about 3/4 through the long careful process that my Dr.s here in Wi have us go through. Still don't have a surgery date. You all seem to be so young. I'm 66. Has anyone reached that ancient age and had the surgery? I would love to hear from you if you have. I failed on Dr Atkins, Nutra system, hypnosis and acupuncture. I'm so afraid of failing again. :faint:Sharon
