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:

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
