April Bandster Bunnies

Mamasugar~ glad to hear your surgery went well.

HappyTrucker~ Sorry to hear your incisions are bothersome today. Your DH is right, you don't have to be a hero. Stay up and moving since that makes you feel better, but take your pain meds if your incision pain gets worse. Afterall, you did just have surgery :bored: As for a ticker: 1)go to tickerfactory.com 2)click on "weight loss" 3)follow the steps as they guide you through creating your unique ticker 4) at the end you will have the option to copy the html code 5)paste that code into your signature (under the edit signature option on your user cp). Hope this helps!

Thanks I am trying it right now. I appreciate your help.

Hi Guys! I was banded April 2nd. Feeling pretty good so far today but incisions are still sore. I am having a little trouble breathing too...its strange, i have a weird heaviness on my chest. But I'm sure its cause I'm sore all over. Todays going to be a challenge going to family to Celebrate Easter and all I will be eating is chicken broth. Ugh! Well have a good day all!

But you will be losing weight and they will be gaining!

Hang in there!!!

GMC - I hope your easter dinner went well. You lived one of my biggest fears today, "what do I do at the holiday dinners?" Some people say that you wont feel that hungry or even miss the food all that much. Hopefully that was the case with you :smile2:

And you know you've always got your Bandster Bunnies for support!

Hope the rest of you are healing well - HappyTrucker, Mamasugar and the others.

I didn't go! I couldn't do it. I was actually feeling very sore and gassy yesterday so I spent the day in bed. And secretly I was nervous to be around all that food. My family goes all out every holiday. But my mom came over and hung out in bed with me all day so that was nice.

Congrats to all the April Bandsters that have had their surgeries. I am scheduled for Monday morning and I have to be there at 7:30am. I have been doing my pre-op the last 3 weeks and have done ok. I am down 12lbs. The next two days is Clear Liquids only - that will be a challenge but I can survive two days. I am ready to get the show on the road.

Good luck today! See you on the losers bench soon, Waynooo

:smile2:Hey Bunnies,

My surgery is coming up soon. But not as soon as many of you! I hope everything goes well for all of you. I am anxious to hear your stories. My surgery date is April 14th in Indiana. Today is my 4th day of pre op 800 calorie diet. I have lost 8 pounds. It hasnt been so bad today. I think my body is finally getting used to things. Yesterday, I tried on a ring my husband gave me for the first time in over a year (it never fit). It actually fit! I couldnt beleive that there was a difference in just 8 pounds! I am determined to stick with the plan and not cheat! I have so many more happy moments to look foward too.

I've been on vacation a few days so I missed the beginning of the month. Congrats to all our beginning of April Bandsters! Glad your surgeries went well and you are well on your way to recovering and weight loss! I am so happy and proud of you all!:smile2:

I start my liquid diet on Thursday. i am a little nervous but just completed a class last week at surgeon's office that offered a wealth of info and bought some sample Protein and Meal Replacements to see what i like.

I'm gonna be honest I am gonna have a last hurrah. Not overboard, but just because I haven't had any in a while and don't know when I will have any again...I'm gonna have crab legs! Yes I love them, but my body doesn't usually. Just this once and I'm done.

Well...glad to see everyone is doing well and we can definitely do this!!!!!

My surgery is scheduled for 4/19, and my liquid diet begins 4/13. I'm so excited and so nervous!

I've gotta wait till the end of the month for mine. Thankfully it's at the start of my planned holiday, so at least I've got time to recover before going back to work!

Can't wait though...

Tomorrow's my day! I am supposed to be there at 6:30am. I am not afraid at all. I am ready to receive this tool that will finally help me in losing and keeping off the weight!

Today was my day - I became a bandster today. I was home by noon. Very little pain but gas in my left shoulder. I didn't even need pain meds in recovery room. I am on my way.

[johnniesworld 0]

Wow!! Congrats! I hope it stays that way for you. Keep us up to date with the first few days...

Hi Guys, just thought I wld check in today. I have been doing fine with the exception of uncomfortable gas, intermittent pain in my chest/shoulder area. I am still on full liquid diet. Having problems getting in all my shakes. I actually missed my afternoon shake and I cld tell the difference this evening. I was almost sort of hungry. Well, I am at the moment working on my shake now.

The gas has been very stubborn today. I can't seem to get it out. Managed to drive to the store and bought some GAS X chewables and that seems to be working. I have had a few precious Farts this evening. I have a whole new respect for farting after this experince. I callled my doctor about the pain in my chest/shoulder area and he recommeded walking and Ibrofen. I walked a bit this mornin and evening. I stopped taking the Percocet today. Need a clear head to recover. Swtiching to over the counter.

I miss my hubby and daugther so much. I don't get to see them till Saturday. Had a few down moments today, but I managed to get over it quickly. I am getting cabin fever. Contemplating going back to work a few hours a day for the rest of the week.

Sorry abt the rambling. Luv u guys and good luck for all those being banded 2morrow.

Congrats to all those banded 2day.
