Hi Becky Noe, regarding the ticker - go into "My Settings" and click on the "Signature" tab on the right. Copy and paste the code there. When you click save then you should see it. If not, you copied the wrong one. Find the correct one and then it should appear. Good luck!

I have obstained from all bread, rice, noodles, Pasta, pizza. candy, all sweets, all cakes, Cookies, all soda.. It is all what got you all fat AND ME TOO IN THE FIRST PLACE..WHO NEEDS THAT CRAP. EVERY 10 LBS IS 1 SIZE~ YOU WILL FEEL SO HAPPY LOSING THE WEIGHT. LOOKING PRETTY, BUYING NEW AND SKINNY CLOTHES. IF I CAN DO IT SO CAN YOU. SUGAR AND WHITE FLOUR CARBS. CARBS MAKE YOIU FAT AND WANT TO EAT MORE CARBS. UP Protein. Protein WILL KEEP YOU FULL AND LOSE WEIGHT. WHAT DO YOU WANT IN YOUR LIFE? A FAT A$$ OR A NICE THIN AND HEALTHY BODY. I WAS VERY HARD ON MYSELF. I HOPE I HAVE NOT INSULTED YOU. I LOST WEIGHT VERY SLOWLY. I AM OLDER THAN ALL OF YOU.

Not at all. I"m trying to do that and succeeding pretty well. Takes major life changes, but I'm motivated and willing.

Hey Becky, best of luck to you! I am super new, just had my band done on 3/5/12... still not over all the uncomfortableness that comes along right after the surgery but everyone here is so nice and give really helpful tips. I wonder if there is an app for this site on Blackberry?? Oh well, either way I hope you do really great on your journey!

To start a topic, go to “Forums” and click on “Forums Home.” Look through the forums that appear on the screen and pick the forum where you’d like to start a new topic.

For example, since I have not yet had surgery, I may want to ask a question asking about why so many fills are needed initially. Therefore, I would choose to start the topic using the forum: “PRE-Operation Lap Band Surgery and Questions”

To start the topic, double click on “PRE-Operation Lap Band Surgery.” Look for the black rectangular box with the words “Start New Topic.” Click on it, then type your topic in the “Topic Title” text box.

When you’ve finished typing your title, place your cursor in the large text box and begin typing your topic. When you are finished, look for the black rectangular box with the words “Post New Topic.” It is located underneath the text box that you have been typing in. Click on “Post New Topic” and your topic will be posted.
