Hello. I figured out how to add the ticker. I guess I am not as computer saavy as I thought.

Qbanita75, I saw the Christmas challenge in your signature. Could you tell me what that is?

Thanks.

No, thats not what I meant. It looks fine. I was just wondering if there was some thread about a christmas challenge like lose x amount of weight by christmas or a christmas exercise challenge. Your tickers look fine to me, although I don't know what I am doing either! ha ha.

I had what I think is a highly successful banding - have NO pain now except a tiny bit where the portal incision is. I was overnight in hospital, flew back to Maui (surgery was in Oahu) day after and drove myself home via costco stop for soup!!! Feelng good enough today (friday) to work! So far, soo good, seems too easy! Yesterday managed to consume almost as much Protein as I should be. "drinking" yogurts and Soups some too. Don't even feel deprived - no hunger whatsoever. Good to here posts from other October bandsters! I can't wait til I can go swimming again after wounds all heal. For me, that is the hardest part!

Hey! I can't figure out how to add a ticker to my profile/posts. How do you do that?

I will help you out with the ticker.

After you made it and see it there, what you used was a link that has to be clicked on to view...but the actual code is a bit farther down. I do web page design so kinda know about codes. The first one is the one I used...and it worked. Just copy what is inside the box...(drag across it with the mouse..then right click and select copy...and paste it all right in the end of your message.

Hope that works for you..

mauimarion, I think you just copied the link to the graphic and not the code that makes it work in the message you wrote...it is in a box down just a bit below from where you got the link. Drag across it with your mouse..right click and select copy...then on your message...right click and select paste and in it goes...

Well, I am feeling just fine....drinking my clear liquids and taking my Protein supplement and Vitamins. Just feeling real good...tired but good. Sunday I can have creamed Soup and all that.... YEA...I am not overly hungry though...really...I crave things but it is real easy to overcome since I don't feel that "hunger".

Take care all and it would be fun to hear from all of you that had surgery on thursday the 26th...

Too Funny qbanita! I think I may have forgotten how to chew, since I did 2 weeks of liquid prior to surgery. :faint:

I'm with you, I am not into the SF Jell-O and if I have any more broth, I am going to scream! I tried both chicken and Beef Broth, and the Chicken is the only thing I can stand!

Sunday I go to full liquids and can have milk! I never would have thought that I would miss milk.

Then on Monday I get to go to pureed food for two weeks. I can hardly wait!

Has anyone else noticed that they are hyper-sensitive to smells? I was at Wal-Mart yesterday, and I went down an isle that smelled funny for some reason and I got so nauseous!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
