I have searched the FAQ and gone through all the profile options, and I can't seem to figure out how to upload my pic as my avatar. Can anyone help?

First, your pic has to be 50x50 pixels, which is teeny. Then, you have to save it to your hard drive, then you have to go to the top of the page and click on 'User CP'(Control Panel), to the left you will see an option to edit avatar. If you have a photo with a clear faceshot and need some help in resizing it, some of us here will be glad to help!

I am also unable to customize my avatar. I don't have an option to browse/upload my own image, only to select from the standard ones. I have uploaded my image onto my profile, but not for my avatar which I would love to do... :cross-eye :cross-eyeI would also like to know how to change the little message under my name next to the avatar.

Go to the USER CP link Located at the top of page.

Click on the Edit Profile in the Left menu box under Settings & Options.

The second box that says OPTIONAL INFORMATION you should see CUSTOM USER TITLE that is where you can change the title to whatever you like.

Some people are not showing this option and some people are not showing the CUSTOM AVATAR option either.

I am getting ready to email Alex and let him know the problems.

Woo Hoo! There you are Betty! Glad to see the custom avatar buttons are back on board. I was worried that I'd never get to update my photo. :D Thanks so much Alex, for fixing all the bugs and making this such a beautiful site! :Bunny

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
