You need to go into your profile and change your signature. You will copy and paste the code from the ticker. Hope that helps.

I was just wanting to get my surgery over with so I could start the new part of my life. I have been banded for 7 months and have lost 95 pounds. I have 6 more pounds to lose to be at my goal weight.

Good luck on the 8th. I look forward to following your journey. Oh I use myfitnesspal.com. Feel free to add me. My user name us jurhee19.

I really liked Dr. Snow. I pray all the best for you and hope you can join the January 2012 Bandsters.... I am just about to start week 3 post-op. It is definitely an adjustment, but Dr. Snow's team is sooooooooo supportive and informative.....

Good luck!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
