Mer...

I constantly have to remind myself to stay out of the "plus" department, it's SO amazing to shop in the "normals", but the choices are overwelming. I've been so long in teh "pluses" and the very few choices that offers, that having the entire store open to me is scary!!!

Sue

Yes...let's walk!

Carol...

Sound like you are pasting it into the message box. If so, your pasting to the wrong place. Go to the top of this page, click on the UserCP (User control panel) then click on Edit Signiture. At the bottom, below where you can customize the signiture you will see a box that says option 1 this is where you paste your ULR, then click save signiture.

Hope that works.

OK, one last thing to try...did you try all the different options on the ticker factory page, try copy/paste each of the options bbcode...HTML...ezCode. Oh, and I think I said to past to the "options" box, but you should paste to the "your signiture:" box. I don't remember which ticker code we're supposed to use, just try them all, and you might try closing your browser and reopening as you try each one, sometimes re-opening the page will help.

That's my last guess :faint: ...worth a try

Boy, liquids sure don't satisfy. Had a fill yesterday, so I'm trying to stay on liquids today like a good girl. I feel full fairly quickly, but it sure doesn't last long, and I realy want to chew something...how did I do this for 7 weeks? 2 days and I'm whining!

Sue - sounds like Carol is having the same trouble I was. Remember that you finally had to do it from your office for me. I'm not sure if there is some kind of block on our computers but I was getting the same message as Carol is.

Carol - Have someone try it from a different computer. They will have to use your password to get in to your page but once Sue set mine up I was fine.

Hey if you're going to walk give me a call, it's so hard to motivate when it's cold out, I enjoy walking outside so much more than indoors, but I get cold so easily

Just an update here... I was banded on Oct 30th and doing well. I feel pretty good considering. I've lost 16lbs since the surgery (2 weeks ago) and Im seeing Dr Srikanth today for my first postop follow up. I was very impressed with him and St Francis - I was very well taken care of!

Well, it'a 12:50 and I'm trying to "wind-down". Mer...you'd be proud of me, i gave my sewing machine a work out tonight. I decided to cut out my pieces for a window seat cushion I'm recovering, but now I remember why I tend to stay away from these projects...I obsess until I'm done. I just finished zipping it on...all done (thanks for all the great tips, Wendy). Hopefully I can sleep now. I tend to approuch projects the way I used to approach food, keep at it until it's all done!

By the way, all done for my appetite is alot less since my fill on Monday. Today I learned the danger (and pain) of costco samples. I had to make a quick decision if I should run for the bathroom, or the car, of course with a cart full. I made it to the car, barely. I've PB'ed before, but not like this...I very nearly lost it in the parking lot!!! YUCK!

Lesson Learned!!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
