I don't post much- but I want to start! I started my liquid diet today(one day early because I had all the stuff and I was so anxious!) I have to do the New Direction diet if anyone is familiar?

It's 3 items a day(soups or shakes) and unlimited Water, broth, and sugar free Jello. So far so good- then again it's only 5pm on day 1. I am just so psyched to finally be beginning this process. My surgery is on 2/21!

So my surgery date is scheduled for 2/27/13 and I am super excited. I am new to this process so I am thrilled that I am not alone. I don't have anyone close to me that has had this procedure done, so learning through all of you guys is really great. Good luck to all of you.

I know there's a special section for this, but it doesn't seem to be too popular so I'll give it a whirl here..

Anyone here to be banded in February besides me?

My surgery date is February 15th.

Feel free to add me on Facebook for support, etc. =]

Feb 2013 banisters your posts are very confusing to those of us who have been communicating for over a year. I have checked and there is a 2103 Feb Bandsters. It maybe beneficial for you to communicate with those who at the same place in your lapband experience. We wish you the beat of luck in your journey.

Feb 2012 Bandsters has anyone considered reconstructive surgery? Tummy Tuck or breast lift ?

Maybe we February 2012 bandsters should start another thread, February 2012 bandsters? Not sure. This is becoming too full and convoluted.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
