Hi April 8th Avengers!

If you have a two week pro-op diet to start, today is the day!

I was not totally prepared for it and it caught me off guard. First day hasn't been to bad so far. I need to go shopping. Yesterday was my education class, it lasted three hours and was very informative. I can't believe how quickly the time has flown and the 8th is almost here. Lets keep in touch so we can support each other.

Oh Carol my heart goes out to you..I feel really bad that this has happened. I too would really be pissed if the band failed for me. I wish I lived close to you so that I could give you a hug, but since I don't I'm sending you these..(((((hugs))))). I will pray that you start to feel better soon. Please take care of yourself...get that blood pressure under control....Email me any time. Later....

Hey everyone, Sorry i havent posted in soooooo long, but my life has been CRAZY!!!!! My husband and I have seperated and I filed for divorce! My kids & I have moved into an appartment, so life has been a mess! but the good news is I've lost 75 lbs since April 8th WOOOO HOOOO! yeah I cant believe it myself I started in a size 24 and am now in a size 18, I have only had 2 fills but i am pretty tight most of the time, pretty sure its mostly from stress but im losing so im not going to complain. how is everyone doing?

WOW! I've never checked out this thread because I was banded on April 10th. I wish I knew all of you were in here having hard times. There is a handful of other April Avengers in the main thread (Calling All April Bandsters) that still post. I would love it if you all would join in.

We need each other and this is a great way to get and give support. A few of us are now logging on The Daily Plate to see if that helps too. Many of us have stalled in the weight loss, experienced some band troubles and are trying to get back on track. Sounds like we all could use each other!

Please pop in or PM me...I'd love to hear from you!
