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!

      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.
