Newbie needs help getting around.

I read about your suggestion page but thought I would post here to get help quickly. Am I missing a page that tells you how to do everything? Like, post a personal message or find members without going through all the pages?

I also cannot figure out how to move my ticker tape weight loss number. Am I just a dummie or what?

To post a Private Message to someone, go to UserCP at the top of the page...same place as where you would put in your signature. On the left hand side it'll say about private messages and to send a message. Click that and it's pretty easy after that.

To look for someone, you can go to the main page and scroll down alll the way at the bottom and it'll show a list of people online. Or you can click the search button on top and click the "Advanced" part. It'll do a part for the users too. You have to know at least part of their user name and not their actual name though. As far as I know (I could be wrong too) you can't search by real name.

SueSue, I just go to UserCP, Edit Signature and then double click on the ticker at the top of the section. It will take you immediately to the Ticker Factory, where you can log in and change your info.

Once it says it's been changed, when you come back into this site, you'll find your ticker's been updated!! Ain't technology swell?!!!!:ranger:

You can also PM or email someone (depending on his or her preferences) by clicking on the member's user name in a post and then click on "View Public Profile." If the member allows getting PMs or emails, there will be a link on that page.

Really simple to edit your ticker - just click on it. You should have a password that you used to set it up with. Put that in, press the button to edit/update, fix your info and press the button to finish. It'll change the info for you so you don't have to keep putting in a new URL when your ticker goes down.

      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.
