Once you have your ticker created copy the code from the window labelled bbCode it should look something like this

["url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wdCofnT/"]

["img]http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wdCofnT/weight.png[/img"]

[/url]

Open up you profile and go to edit profile. Under your signature paste this code in the window and save it. You ticker should then show up.

Thanks so much...I got my offical tracker posted. Now how do I add the May Flowers one? I have tried to add a second and it just duplicates the first. I know it can't possibly be that hard to add. thanks for all your help.

Same way just create a new ticker using a new password and paste that code in your signature where you want. I use password1, password2, password3, etc. for my tickers. You just need to remember which ticker has which password since you will have to enter the proper password when you update it.

      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.
