Welcome, congrats on your success so far. Be sure to look for the Dec. 06 bandsters thread. It will be a group of everyone banded this past December. It is great to share your journey with people in the exact same stage. I love my Aug 06 group!

hmmm I have seen other people who are better at describing how to do it, but I will give it a try. Go to your profile and edit signature. Copy the link on tickerfactory.com. then click the button that looks like a mountain in the edit signature screen. delete the http:// that is already filled in and paste the link in the pop up window. That should do it. I use Ctrl-C to copy and Ctrl-V to paste.

I hope that helps, like I said I have seen people who are very good at describing how to do this so if I confused you try a search for ticker on the blue menu bar.

Good luck!

      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.
