argon 3 Posted March 26, 2006 Interesting... from what Marie said to me, I understood that I could have 'a cup of steamed veggies' in addition to my 3 Optifasts. To be honest... I haven't had more than 2 Optifasts and no veggies (a day) at all in a week. I just can't do it. They changed my surgery time. It was supposed to be at 11, and I was supposed to be there at 10. Now, I think it's at 10:40, and I have to be there at 9:40. So you must be just before me! Cool. No, I don't know who that would be. Are you a member of the 'canadianlapbanders' yahoo group? You should join, if you're not. There's lots of Cobourn patients and lots of people from Ontario. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/canadianlapbanders/ Mandi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dry Powder 0 Posted March 28, 2006 Well I called Marie yesterday, and My surgery is at 8:00am Mar. 29; I will be there at 7:15am. That means there are 2 others besides you and I. She told me there were 4 for tommorrow. Do I go to the same location were I went for my previous appointments? Have lost 25 lbs on the liquid in 2 weeks, craving carbs right now. I always loose quick ... not so good at sticking to the plan. My wife will be with me so I should be on my way back to Streetsville by 12:30 to 1:00PM. Just rambling.

anewlife 0 Posted April 19, 2006 How do I get the ticker to work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
argon 3 Posted April 19, 2006 In the User CP, go to edit signature in that blank space is where you would enter your ticker info. Mine looks kind of like this : [ url=http://www.tickercentral.com] [/url ] but without all the spaces. Hope that helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
