I click on everyones ticker and it will open up, I click on mine and nothing happens. I want to update my weight loss.

Thanks everyone for the sweet welcome. My surgery date is Aug. 4th. ( 2 more days ) A little nervous, but soooooo ready for this.

Oops....I must have missed the bean soup recipe, could you please send it to me Charlene? Thanks

Will someone explain how to update the Ticker? :confused2:

Hi...My name is Pj. I've been married to my wonderful husband for 39 years. We have 2 sons, ages 37 & 34. 2 gorgeous granddaughters, ages 8yrs & 12 months. I work for the Dallas County Tax Office, going on 13 years. I love my job very much. My hobbies are, MY GRANDDAUGHTERS, reading, scrapbooking, gardening. I'm fixing to add a new hobby to this list, which will be exercising. As soon as my band heals I'm joining 24 hr. fitness with my daughter-in-law. I quit smoking 20 months ago. Since then I have gained soooooooo much weight. I have a problem sticking to a diet, I do better when I have rules and guidelines I MUST follow. I would always say....I will start my diet tomorrow. Since my pre-op diet started July 21st I have lost 12 lbs. I have not felt well for some time due to this excess weight, which has caused my blood pressure to get very high. I don't have the energy I once had. 2 years ago, I took my granddaughter to 6 Flags over Texas, there is no way I could today. I want to feel better, and live to see my granddaughters grow up. I love swimming, can't remember the last time I put a bathing suit on. One thing I am looking forward to next summer is buying a new bathing suit, going swimming and taking my granddaughter to the waterpark. Good Luck everyone on your weight loss journey. I am so ready !!!

Will someone explain how to update the ticker? Thanks :wink2:

To all that is having surgery tomorrow...good luck !!!

Janet, I remember you mentioning that you were going to have a test done I thought on the 23rd of July. I never saw the results of the ultra sound. Now I just read you are having a biopsy? Were they not happy with ultra sound? You are in my prayers!!

Sounds Great !!!

Good Luck, will be anxious to hear how you are feeling after. " congratulations " too.

What is the purpose of doing the pouch test??

I'm sure once you get your fill you will have the proper restriction. Wonder why they wait so long to fill it, does it take that long for you to heal?

I'm in Dallas county also. Was 104 here today...soooo hot. When were you banded? My surgery date is Aug. 4th. 1 week from tomorrow. Good luck !!!

Check with your Dr. The Dr. I use has support group meetings.

Shelly...I am anxious to try the talipia. I will let you know. Planning on having it Tuesday night, my daughter in law loves it, son and his family will be over Tuesday night, I told her I would fix us that. Let me know when you get your date.....Good Luck to U also & ty. Weighted this morning, have lost 10 lbs since last Monday on my pre-op diet. I had my date set before my pre-op diet started. Its amazing how different every DR. is.

I got lucky and not having to do the liquid diet before. i'm on a strict diet, but i can eat 3 meals a day. since monday i have lost 8 lbs. what is a cpap machine? what is needed for the hospital? i was told, lose clothing, ( i bought a cute moo moo type long dress) slip on shoes. drs office called yesterday and told my hubby my meds will be ready to pick up at a compound pharmacy.
