[jbrown0795 0]

Welcome fellow Western Nebraskaner. I was banded on 1/29/08 so am just getting started myself. I am down 27 lbs and just had my first fill on Monday. So far so good. Glad to be on solid food again. Dr. Forney was my surgeon and I see Dr. Holloway in Ogallala for fills. I go to Ogallala since I live in North Platte. Welcome to the forum and hope to hear more from you on how things are going. I also follow a Yahoo.com forum called smartbandsters and it is a really active forum. I have learned a lot on there. I need to spend more time with this forum and see if there are areas that are more active than this one.

Again, welcome.

Jeff

Whomever is kind enough to respond to this plea for assistance please do so publically as I am having the same problem. Apparently hair color has little to do with being blonde! :confused2:

Hey Jeff,

Do you go to the support group in NP with Beth? I just spoke with her, since there is no support group where I live, I thought I might check it out.

No, I haven't but would like to go at least a couple of times to see what it is like. It used to be in the Sunday paper but since I was approved for the surgery it has not been published. If you find out the night and time please let me know. They used to hold them on either a Monday or Tuesday night and I teach a class on both of those nights but thought I would have someone cover for me for a couple of weeks to at least meet some of the people in the group and introduce myself. Please let me know...

Hey there, just popping in to check on the thread from KC. Once a Husker, always a Husker.

As far as the Ticker goes. There is a thread somewhere with some advice on how to do it "right". (emphasis on the quotes) Personally, I've never got it to work either. What I finally resorted to was to create the ticker, then on the screen that shows the pic of it and all those odd HTML codes I just use my mouse to highlight the picture of the ticker. Right click and hit copy the picture (NOT the HTML) then right click and paste it to my signature line in LBT user control panel. One note though for some reason I have to position my mouse on the line above the picture then drag my mouse down to get it to highlight the ticker. It doesn't want to allow me to highlight it if I start with the mouse to the left of the ticker.

Hope this helps.

I thought I would share this with you all!!

The Pasta Diet and Your Health

ITALIAN Pasta DIET -- IT REALLY WORKS !!

1.. You walk pasta da bakery.

2.. You walka pasta da candy store.

3 You walka pasta da Ice Cream shop.

4.. You walka pasta da table and fridge.

You will lose weight!

AND....

CONCERNED ABOUT TOO MANY CARBS IN YOUR DIET?

For those of you who watch what you eat,

here's the final word on nutrition and health.

It's a relief to know the truth

after all those conflicting

nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat>and suffer fewer heart attacks than

Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat

and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine

and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine

and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats

and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like.

Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Wow...hard to believe Nebraska is on the site. (Smile) I have a weight loss seminar to attend on the 17th. I am looking forward to finding out more about the surgery. Did anyone have to do the two weeks liquid diet? I will have the surgery done at University once I'm approved. I have UHC (Choice) and told they are good about approving weight loss surgery.

Wishing everyone a wonderful night!

Hi, I had my surgery 12.28.08 in Denver by Dr. Michael A. Snyder, I had 2 "days" clear liquid. Good luck to you!

[Mrs Husker 3]

Hi Fed Cop! Welcome aboard!! After my surgery, I had 8 to 10 days of Clear Liquids. I can't remember how long it was, but I know about that time I called my nurse and asked to be moved up to full liquids. It is going to depend on who does your surgery as to how long you are going to be in whatever phase of the diet. Just make sure you follow it and give yourself time to heal. So, who is doing your surgery?

Good evening Shoeaddict and Mrs. Huskers!

Thank you for the welcome. Shoeaddict, you are doing great with your weight loss. Keep it up! Mrs. Husker, I would like for Dr. McBride to do my surgery but at this stage I'm not sure. I plan to request her after the seminar on Monday. I have being doing Weight Watchers and doing great on it however I have been eating lately to help big up more weight so my chance of approval will be greater. (Laughing) I know that is probably silly of me. I do plan to go back eating healthy once my paperwork been sent in for approval. It's good to know that I don't have to do the liquid diet before hand. I wanted to start purchasing some of my items doing the waiting period. I'm 4ft 11 and wearing 225 now that I have started back to eating. It's funny how it takes so long to lose but so easy to put back on. Sorry, didn't mean to keep going and going but I'm glad that I have found this site. I'll let you know how things go on Monday. In the meantime keep doing the excellent job that you're doing. I'm so proud of everyone who's trying to better their lives. I'm sure I will have more questions later and thank you so much for replying back to my question.:thumbup:
