gilda85_99@ 41 Posted May 26, 2013 I got banned in January 2013 and have lost 72 pounds so far and still moving right along. Off of blood pressure meds, off all diabetic medication and off almost all other medications. I would do it all over again, it's been great so far. I have a question, how do you get the weight loss ticker on the bottom of your page? 7 ☠carolinagirl☠, m1aman, catfish87 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I love lucy lover 61 Posted May 26, 2013 Congrats, on the top left of the page click on your user name and it will open a drop down box, you will see the ticker there. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChicagoRose 650 Posted May 26, 2013 Did you make a ticker already? If you go to the edit profile section online (don't know from the app) you should be able to make the ticker and then when you edit your signature you can add it to your signature. Good luck =) and GREAT weight loss!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sharpie 3,306 Posted May 26, 2013 fantastic weight lost...I was banded Jan15 and have lost 40 lbs .. I know this was the best thing for me.. I know I will healthier and happier for the years to come... I can't believe I have not had any weight gain since starting this... not that I have tried but usually by now on any other weight loss deal I would have gained weight back...

fineasever 4 Posted May 27, 2013 I'm only 5 days post op - I CAN NOT wait to be able to say "best thing I ever did"!! Right now I'm in the 'buyers remorse' stage!! Hi wheelcrazy, I am with you. I was banded on 5/20/2013 and I am still thinking Lord what have I done. Thank God I have lost weight so far and made it through the first week of liquid diet. I'm praying to overcome this feeling of buyers remorse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lizzytish11 25 Posted May 28, 2013 Really ? Why what's the matter ? If you want to vent I'm here. I don't have any regrets other than the two weeks of liquids is really getting to me. One more week but I go back to work tomorrow so that will help. Stay strong an focus on the end results . Everything is ok. It's just really hard on this liquid diet. I have no energy. I keep getting headaches. My port site hurts. It's all such a change. 1 WheelCrazy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelCrazy 19 Posted May 28, 2013 I agree,the full liquid is betting OLD!! Especially today during cookouts.... but honestly for me the worst is the gas pains in my shoulder!! Any suggestions_? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmineR8705 140 Posted May 28, 2013 I agree,the full liquid is betting OLD!! Especially today during cookouts.... but honestly for me the worst is the gas pains in my shoulder!! Any suggestions_? Take some Gas-X strips, using a heating pad (worked wonders for me) and get up and walk around your house or outside to get the blood flow moving. I also shrugged my shoulders from time to time but what your feeling is temporary! I'm 6 days post op and I'm glad that phase is over!! Take care! -Amine 1 KAATNS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
