PharmaGirl

Hi girls,

CONGRATULATIONS on getting your date Ann!!

Quick update on what is going on with us. Lisa had her surgery on Thursday. I brought my laptop to the hospital so I could keep myself busy while waiting. What do you reckon I did while waiting - I looked up lapbanding surgery on YouTube and found actual footage of the procedure. Looking this up was not the smartest move!! Check it out and you'll see what I mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5ICI9q7nxU&feature=related . It is amazing the way they blow your tummy up with air (tummy looks like a big balloon [or maybe that should be bigger ballon!]) and then proceed to do everything using a camera and these amazing instruments.

After the surgery, Lisa wasn't feeling too crash hot - quite groggy and in some discomfort (she says it more uncomfortable than actually painful). She is very sensitive to drugs and I think they gave her plenty in the OR which explains the grogginess. Anyway, she couldn't have been feeling too bad as she managed to nag every nurse and doctor she saw until they agreed to let her go home once she was drinking (which she was doing pretty much right away and had had a x-ray with barium swallow done). So, she didn't end up staying overnight like they expect most people will do. I tease her that they would have been glad to see the back of her and all her nagging!!

She was much better yesterday. However, I think she overdid things a little yesterday doing crap around the house [when there wasn't even anything that really needed doing!]. Then, last night, she wanted to go and visit some friends and sat and talked for 2-3 hours. So, after all that she ended up having a mini relapse with heaps of gas building up which made sleeping very uncomfortable (for both of us!!). On top of that, she was a bit plugged up from the barium swallow they did after the surgery to check that everything was in the right place so she was stressing about the possibility of what could happen (she's a retired nurse who knows all the terrible things that can go wrong which really is not very helpful).

This morning everything in the intestines started moving so she's feeling much better. We going to go and see a movie (we're thinking Duplicity) in a Gold Class cinema (with the recliners instead of normal chairs) as she'll be able to sit comfortably there.

My weight loss has really slowed. I haven't really stuck to the liquid program the last 3 days. Wednesday was my brother and my nephew's birthday celebrations then Lisa had her op on Thursday. I spent yesterday shopping and in the kitchen preparing liquid foods (high Protein Soups and Jello, etc) for Lisa to eat for the next week. I'll get back on the horse now and get back on track.

Tamara, looks like you're doing great - kg after kg just dropping off you!

Sare and kiwigirl, what's going on with you two?

Here's the latest updated list. Please note that this is the last list I will post in this thread. From now, I'll only maintain a single up-to-date list. You can find it HERE.

Sorry it's taken a couple of days to get around to updating the list. Have been busy with work and then my partner, Lisa (NYLady), had her lap band surgery yesterday. She was not feeling too crash hot immediately after the surgery but she has come good today. She's walking around a lot and has almost got rid of all the gas and she's having no problems with liquids.< /p>

Please let me know: if there are any errors, if there are any changes in dates, anyone missing from the list.

Also, once you've had your surgery, please check in with us so we know you're ok.

Cheers and Happy Easter to all!

Honorary Bunny Bandsters: WannaBe1/2TheWoman,

Hi to the two of banded on the 10th. Hope you're both feeling great. My partner was banded yesterday - she wasn't too good the first day but is heaps better today and even wants to go visit some friends tonight.

In case you might be interested there's a forum for all of us being banded in April HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE.

Hi there,

Hope you're feeling well after surgery.

In case you might be interested to share your experiences with other people being banded in April, you'll find a forum HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE.

Hey DM,

Hope you're feeling well after your surgery.

Hi Linda,

My partner was banded yesterday. It was a bit rough after surgery but she's doing really well today - we're even going to visit some friends tonight. Hope you're doing as well as she is.

In case you might be interested there's a forum for all of us being banded in April HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE.

Hi Jimbo,

I'm being banded on the 23rd April and share your hopes. Looking forward to sharing experiences.

In case you might be interested there's a forum for all of us being banded in April HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE.

Hi there,

In case you might be interested there's a forum for all of us being banded in April HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE. As well as the advice posted in direct response to your intro, you might like to compare notes with other people banded at the same time as you (and, as you'll see if you look at the list, there are a heap of them!)

Hi there everyone,

Like phlphan, I think chocolate diamond's weight loss is amazing!.

For those being banded in (phlphan and erinshel), in case you might be interested there's a forum for all of us being banded in April HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE (erinshel, I wasn't sure of the date for your banding because of the time difference between Australia (where I am) and the US (where you may be) - I've put you down for the 8th - is this right?)

Cheers and Happy Easter

Hey Step,

Hang in there. Not much longer to go and you'll be eating some real food. As people below have said, the hunger should start subsiding once you start getting your fills.

In case you might be interested there's a forum for all of us being banded in April HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE. Some are going through similar experiences.

Hi there everyone,

Yep, my doctor has given similar instruction to my partner who was banded yesterday. Walking is fine - he suggested walking 5 mins the first day, increasing by 5 minutes per day until you get to 30mins/day and then continuing with that as a minimum (he suggested a target 10,000 steps/day). As per BrockBabe's advice, he also advised no heavy lifting for 6 weeks.

In case you might be interested there's a forum for all of us being banded in April HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE.

Hi there and welcome,

I'm also being banded on the 23rd of April and have started blogging too. Hope I do as well as Brandy~ - Brandy, you look absolutely fantastic!!

In case you might be interested there's a forum for all of us being banded in April HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE.

Hi Steph,

Congrats on your date. I soooo can relate to your reasons for making the decision to go ahead with the band. At almost 300lb, I'm uncomfortable in lots of places.

In case you might be interested there's a forum for all of us being banded in April HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE.

...next person that ask why I'm going to be out I'm using the female srgery excuse......

Too funny!! Wish I could be a fly on the wall to see that!

Have told everyone in the family and my friends and just a couple of people at work (but am a little scared that they'll tell those that I don't want to know).

I made up Jello (I used raspberry) and before setting it added a tub of fat-free yoghurt (I used vanilla bean). I made this up for us to have during the pre-op diet phase when we need something to hit the sugar craving (and it does hit that spot!). I think it will also be ok post op after the first day or two of Clear Liquids.< /p>

Here's today's updated list - getting hard to keep up with the every growing group of bunny bandsters. For those being banded, please don't forget to check in after the surgery and let us know how you're doing.
