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

Welcome new bunnies!

I haven't told anyone, but my best friend and hubby that I'm getting banded. Not even my parents. My bf has had gastric bypass and of course hubby because I need his help. I don't know how to tell my parents. They just won't want me to do it and they are going on vacation the week of my surgery. I don't want them to feel like they have to stay home. So I am just going to tell them afterwards.

Lou and Jessica I know you'll both do great! Jessica, I'm still totally impressed that you're dieting and working out before even being on the liquid diet!!!!

Day 4 of the liquid. Am I numb yet? ha ha ha Waiting for that supposed magical day- Day 5. But I'm down, so bye-bye BMI of 44!

I start my 14 day pre-op liquids on April 13 - (day after my return from a 7-day cruise!).

Good Job you guys that are on it now -- keep up the great work!

Testing my new Bunny siggy!!!

After you preview don't forget to save it there in edit you sig. Just guessing why it didn't show up.

Thanks Band_Groupie....hahaha...now can you help on why it's not moving...lol! :cursing:

Oh by the way the Easter Bunny is boycotting candy in my house. bathing suits, filp flops, mints, movie passes, jamba juice cards. No candy.

Our Easter Bunny is having the same line of thought. We planted a garden last year and the kids really enjoyed it, so this year the bunny is bringing seeds and gardening tools for each of the kids. We will do a small easter bunny because our kids are 4 & 7 and I dont want them to go into shock lol but we're also doing kites, bubbles, outside chalk and carrots w/the green fronds still on them. I am so excited about this being a new journey for my babies to embark on too. I think it will be so awesome to feel this shift for my whole family and all of us gettign healthier. The idea that we are breaking the overweight cycle by teaching our children better is amazing! :0)
