April Bandster Bunnies

[happytrucker280 0]

Thanks everybody...Right now my actual pain level is about 2-3 on pain scale of 1-10. I have not sipped on any Lortab in about 5 hours. I did notice that when I sit in the lounge chair no shoulder twinges. I got into the bed at around 8 pm and it was difficult getting comfortable..Not sure if I'll sleep in the chair or bed..

As far as hunger, I am not hungry just majorly thirsty. I have had lots of tea, 4 SF popsicles, Water, Powerade zero, 1 Protein shot (clear), 1/2 cup Jello.

I have been walking around the house (mall style) every 2 hours. Throat still a little. I may suck on a halls or something.

OK, DH has been a dream but you all will never guess what he did this afternoon. He baked a Mrs Smith's pumpkin pie. Had the entire house smelling absolutely devine...He was not thinking when that occurred, ya think?

Ok..I am going to relax again. Any suggestions will be welcomed..Thanks for the questions and well wishes..:thumbup:

Hello to my april bandster bunnies. I am scheduled for april 6th. I can't hardly wait. My process had gone really quickly. I was extremely motivated and my dr's office really worked to make it quick. From beginning to end in a month. I look forward to spending time with you all. Congratulations to those already banded and good luck to those who are waiting for their date. Happy easter to all!

That is great that your soror is helping. The family out of town is a good thing that gives you so much time to focus on you...I'll be praying for ya. See ya on the losing side..

Wishing you a quick recovery!!

Mamasugar, best of luck tomorrow. I hope it goes as well for you as it is for Happytrucker! Can't wait to hear how you're doing!

Good Luck!!

Thanks.

My date is April 13th. It will be here before you know it.:thumbup:

My date is the April 13 also. I'm really confused. I started my all liquid diet on the 31th. I have not found a protien shake I love. How about you? This is my first post. I hope I'm doing it right.

Congratulations to all of those that have already had their surgeries! So happy to hear that you all are doing well! Mine is April 6th too. My boss just asked me if I'm getting nervous. I don't think that I am, I'm just excited and ready to move on! Good luck to all the surgeries today!

Not sure if you guys gave seen it yet, but I started a thread on the bandster bunnies group where we could all share our surgery day experiences (the good and the not so good) in one convenient place... I'm feeling a little better today than I was last night when I posted my experience.

I'm thinking about all our bunnies getting banded today and praying their surgeries go well.

OK, I'll move my post over there. That was a great idea.

I am feeling pretty good right now. How about you? i am about to do DH laundry since he is going back on the road on Sunday....I'll be on my own then.

Much love to everyone being banded today..

Surgery coming up this Tuesday (no Easter basket for me)

For me I've been able to stomach the Slim Fast high Protein followed by Worldwide brand Protein Shakes in chocolate flavors. Atkins shakes were ok, muscle milk light was nasty. tried a fruit flavored shake and it was like drinking plaster.

i've been chopping up 2 cups of no carb veggies into low salt broth that i add bay leaves and fresh herbs

SF pops and Jello are teh awesome!

In cheating news I have had 1 small boiled potato and 4 multigrain tortilla chips since my diet started on 3/23.

good luck all!!!

Glad to hear you are doing so well. I must admit that I am more than a little jealous! It is taking every ounce of strength inside me just to walk from the livingroom to the bathroom and back. I could not imagine doing the DH's laundry. He is waiting on me hand and foot right now. The doctor warned me I was going to have a "very painful recovery" due to the "very large hernia" she fixed. My stomach and incisions are just achy and stiff, as if I over-did an ab workout. My chest and shoulders feel like someone is standing on them, stabbing me repeatedly. I can only take shallow breaths. I'm drinking Lortab every 4 hours, on the dot!

Good luck to everyone being banded today. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Well only half of the laundry got done. We did go to the 4:45 showing of Why Did I Get Married. Then over to Wally World. By then I was ready to come home. I just polished of a half cup of SF Jello. I'm just a little tired. My Hernia was pretty large also. My surgeon gave me a picture of it.

I think that I'll just rest for the remainder of this evening. How is everyone doing?? Mamasugar?
