testing new avitar



Recommended Posts

Well now that I'm getting a little use to you all I figured it might be time to show my face in the place.

As for the creating the avatar is was a little bit of a challenge. I had the .jpg picture of myself which I pulled into Microsoft Word then I resized the picture cause it has to be 50 X50 pixels. Then when it was small I copied it and pasted it into Microsoft Office Picture Manager and saved it and a .png file. I am sure other graphic packages could have done this faster I just had to use the tools I had. Hope this works out for you gals that are trying to post your pictures.

Tanya, that's some mighty impressive computering you did! I still haven't been able to figure out how to re-size. Penni did mine. Nice to see you!

DeLarla,

I guess I should be a little computer savy. I managed a team of computer support staff (helpdesk and systems engineers). So to be on top of my game I had to stay current in all types of technology so my engineers couldn't use the excuse of not being able to help support staff. At any rate we had a high customer satisfaction rating. Not bragging I just enjoy what I do.

Be careful what you post or I will nominate you the new Avatar Fixer. You'll be flooded with requests to resize pictures. Anyone wanna second that? Good job!

      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.
