bandedmarci 15 Posted February 6, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luckey1 8 Posted February 9, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luvbug0712 41 Posted February 9, 2013 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 ? 1 Sojourner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

girleyq 14 Posted February 13, 2013 Maybe we February 2012 bandsters should start another thread, February 2012 bandsters? Not sure. This is becoming too full and convoluted. 2 Sojourner and myluv2drive reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
