Calling all SHRINKO de Mayo's



Recommended Posts

Alright, for those who weren't crazy about May Flowers or who just, like me, absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE whoever came up with "Shrinko de Mayo", I wanted to come up with a logo for us. Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to work on it today and see what I can come up with but would love some ideas from you other talented folks!

It was actually my Brother who came up with SHRINKO de Mayo -- at our house we're always looking for a reason to celebrate!!

He was banded in July of 2006. So far he's lost over 220 pounds. I'm incredibly proud of him. I know it shouldn't be a competition -- but what's a little HEALTHY competition between bandster siblings??

:lol:I love Shrinko de Mayo!!!!! That is the best name I have heard for any month!

I am getting banded on May 12th!! Can not wait!!

Hey, I am a southern missy too, a Texas Missy. All the missy version that I could think of were taken so I went for meliss, which I go by also.

Hey I just made my 1st ticker. I have been waiting till I was close to a banding date. I also made Shrink logo. How does it look?

Sorry I have posted 3 in a row. It looks odd but I am so excited about finally being an offical something!

Lexy, that is sooo... cute! I haven't had a chance to work on anything because I have been doing my real JOB work all weekend! :lol: I think we need a sombrero with a flower on it, though, to tie us all together! :)

miss meliss...welcome to the group! Don't feel bad about 3 in a row, heck, next time do 4 or 5! We don't mind!! There are some others who also didn't feel like May Flowers was a good representation of them... I think it would be okay to have 2 group names and fully intend on using the Shrinko de mayo -- it is just TOO CUTE not to!! Lexy has come up with an awesome logo. I am planning on working on something but I'm not sure I can come up with anything cuter than that! We'll see... :wink2:

Hello to all,

I am too being banded in May..May 14th to be exact and I love the playfulness of the shrinko de mayo name...

Now...if I can only figure out how to get the logo I would be set.

Anyone out there can help me???

Good Luck to All!

I love the name and logo for shrinko de mayo!!! Good job!

I've decided that whether you are a May Flower or a Shrinko de mayo, it is just great to be able to go on-line and meet new friends who are in the same boat as I am!!!

I love reading about all of the success stories and hope to be able to add mine soon!

As far as adding the logo to my signature, I have no idea how my husband did it!!!! All I know is that somehow he copied the image and then pasted it into the signature area. Good luck! :frown:

      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.
