Hi all you April Bandsters! We have our own April '09 Forum here. This will be our 1st Master Thread to chat, share dates, diets, feelings, etc. When it starts getting too long (loads too slowly) we can start a 2nd and so on.

Sherry (Sissyh1006) has started a list with all our surgery dates, so she'll be along soon and you can give her updates.

If you want a "Bunny Bandsters - April '09" signature line (see below) then click HERE (feel free to change anything). On LBT go to 'User CP' (in the top banner) then down to 'Edit your Signature' (on the Left column). Now copy the PICTURE of the Bunny signature with the peep and paste it into the edit your signature box.

Can't wait to meet you all! -BG

I'm sorry this is so late, but wanted to say Best Wishes to all the April 1 bandsters! I'll be thinking about you all day tomorrow and praying that all goes well.

I am so excited for you and all of us....When I look at the list of all the bunnies who will be banded in April, it is amazing to me - that we have grown to such a large group, and when I think of all the support and advice we've received and given, and how we will be here for one another for a long time to come....and tomorrow marks the beginning of ALL of our new lives!

I can't wait to hear how the surgeries go....Best Wishes!!

I've been using a plastic coffee mug with a lid for my protein shakes, etc. and it's awesome! It's very discreet and everyone will think you're just drinking coffee or tea! I recommend plastic instead of metal, because I didn't think milk would taste very good from metal cup. Good luck! Go get 'em tiger! :thumbdown:

Kaner

Great suggestion kaner. Another alternative could be one of those opaque sports bottles.

Band_Groupie,

I totally relate...I think you hit it on the head...threads like that made me feel as though there was a higher chance of failing....(my hands up)

I love that we have each other on this board!!!

HUGS!!!

Hope everyones surgery goes well today!!!

You can do it Hannah! Just be confident in yourself. Screw them! Keep thinking about how much MORE beautiful you will be when you succeed at this journey!

HUGS Hannah!!!

I've been there...you can do it. High schooler's are very cruel you are right...but, it doesn't last for ever...when you get older they will see you totally different...they will have respect for you and what you have done. Chin up!!! Stay strong!!! You're beautiful!!!!

Can you feel the Earth shaking? I'm hopping up and down!!!

I finally got my date!!!!!!!!! I can't even believe it!!!!

APRIL IS GOING TO BE ONE TERRIFIC MONTH!

- April 24, is our 27th Anniversary

- April 27, is my big 5-0th Birthday (April 28th is DH's 50th too)

and starting off my magical April week,

drumroll please..........

- April 22 is my Band Birthday!!!!

Wow, all within 7 days! Now, off to blog about all my fun today!

......the 'I'm mad as heck' one that was linked...

BG I agree, I've only spot read this thread but it looks like someone who wanted the band to do all the work. Thanks for all the info post it's really helpful.

Now about me...lol....

No pre-op diet just watch carbs even though it's tuff I envy those of you who have a set pre-op plan. I was going to start cutting meals and adding protien drinks and came down with a allergy attack or sinus something so I'm nervous about not being able to have surgery I got a script today to take till the day before surgery hopefully that will knock this out.

I do however have a 2 day cleans diet...yeah one of the rules is no red or "grape" colored liquids...another is no dairy (the thought of making protien drinks with water UGH)

Broth has protien but not much...guess I'll mix vanilla with jello.....

Anyway I ramble sorry...so many thoughts and questions seems like it took forever and now it's here..just 9 days away.

Okay so this is it!

Its 6.10am here and my surgery is in less than 2 hours. Just woke up, gonna have a shower and then pop down to the hospital. Feel like throwing up I am so nervous!! Hopefully I live to see another, much thinner and healthier day!

Will keep you posted! Thanks for all your support thus far! Good luck to any other April 2nd (and April 1 as it is probably still that in America) bunnies, I'll be thinking of you. xxx

Good luck to all bunny bandster today. You guys will be in our prayers and thoughts.

My surgery is in a week; however, I am suffering from this sinus thing that has been going on for almost a month now. I just got my second round of antibiotic and hopefully it will be clear up by this coming Monday, if not, the doctor will call off my surgery.

I don't have a pre-op diet either, I think I'll create my own...maybe high protein and a few shakes. How many shakes (slim fast or carnation) are you guys allowed each day?

OK, there's a sinus thing running rampant through the Bunnies...hope you both feel better...it would be awful to reschedule, but you have time left to get well, so rest up!

BG, CONGRATS on finally getting that date!!! I know how exciting it was for me when I finally had a date to concentrate on!

Hannah, you are doing great! Just focus on what you are doing for YOU...don't worry too much about those meanies. I know high school can be rough and kids are often unkind, but as someone else said, it will not always be that way. Soon, you are gonna have so many people wanting to know more about how you are transforming yourself. You will have so much attention (positive attention) you won't know what to do with it! HUGS...

ughhh thanks guys i wish i would have saw this before i cheated i feel horrible:thumbdown:...you guys are my motivation i feel so bad that i cheated ughh:cursing:...
