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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
