Go to http://www.tickerfactory.com/ and design your ticker ruler. After that copy the HTML code and paste it into your lap band profile. Save this page in favorites for future weight loss updates. You will have to register at this site I think but every time you edit your current weight it will automatically update on your signature.

To paste it click on view my bandster profile underneath your forum name. Then over on the right side click on Forum Profile, from there click on Customize Profile and then click on edit signature. This is where you put the code you had copied from ticker factory. Then save the signature. This is not as hard as it might sound.

:thumbup: Good Luck :laugh:

I can't get my ticker added. It is made and I have copied the whole code and pasted in the signature spot but it keeps saying invalid code.

Are you copying everything that is in the bbCode box?

See this thread for signature creation details if that doesn't work http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f178/diet-ticker-114355/.

Cheers.

My surgery date was moved to next week so I am on the "pre-op diet" ... my surgery program does not really 'require' a pre-op diet, just a certain amt of pre-op weight loss. I have already made that goal and am just doing my best to cleanse and blast off a few more pounds before surgery to make it safer.

I am doing half shakes, half lean Protein to blast off as much more fat as possible before the big day. It is not easy. However, although the surgeon has palpated my liver and said it appears I have "good belly room" for surgery, I am still liver paranoid! This is leftover from last year, when, at my all-time weight high (approx. 30lbs more than I weigh now), under an ultrasound I was Rxd with moderately fatty liver.

What I find most disturbing about this thread is how many people who post about cheating, etc. don't have weight loss tickers indicating their band date and loss to date ... and some appear to have fallen off the planet. Were they banded????

On the other hand, the people who post about following their diet to a T seem to have lots of success stories in their profile signatures ...:biggrin:

I have to admit, I cheated. My surgery is scheduled tomorrow morning and I'm worried that cheating may have hurt me. I have lost 27lbs in the past weeks though. My cheating was not bad, I had egg beaters two days for dinner and then our church had a Mother-Daughter banquet on Saturday (that my mom catered) so I ate some salad (mostly lettuce) and roast beef.

I hope all goes well!

I'm on day 6 of a two week Optifast pre-op, and so far haven't wanted to cheat; rather, more accurately, I've had thoughts but haven't paid attention. This is just too important to me to not do it right, and I figure if I don't do it right now, I probably won't do it right later. I'm really good at excuses and justifications, and I just can't let myself go there anymore.

I cheated by having one cookie the first week of my two week pre-op.

On day 4 of my 13 day pre-op diet. 5 Protein Shakes a day and any zero cal Jello, crystal light and noncarbinated drinks. TALK ABOUT HARD. I cheated to day with a chicken and Green Chili Soup from Chilis. Just checked out the nutrition label online and could not believe the sodium content! This soup was nothing.....clear broth, some green chili's, very few pieces of chicken and tomatoes....that equaled to 190 Calories, 5 grams of fat, 16 Protein and 1060mg of sodium! Too much salt! Now I feel bad......

I have been looking at almost every one of the posts in this forum and feel like I should be fine with a little creamy Soups here and there. 3 days before surgery I will make sure to do only Clear Liquids though.

As you read above, I only cheated once. Well one cheat went into another! Ug. Went to the movies yesterday and had nachos and popcorn. TALK ABOUT A HUGE MISTAKE! My stomach has been hurting and have been running to the bathroom every 10 mins. Even in my 5th day preop, my stomach has changed. DON'T CHEAT GUYS! Or if you cheat....cheat right....not stupidly like i did! :thumbup:

Here the link for ticker help: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f17/ticker-tutorial-pictures-41782/

As for cheating on the pre-op or post-op diet: If you can't go without cheating for a relatively short time, how the hell do you expect to follow the rules for the rest of your life?

Don't get me wrong; I AM judging you.

BTRIEGER,

You could be a bit nicer. Many people screw up but they learn. You have been here and done this....don't be so freakin judgmental. This is a very hard process and it's all about learning from your mistakes. You don't have to offend everyone else because they make a mistake. It's rude and immature. From your other posts, I thought you were more supportive than that.

      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.
