Calling all SHRINKO de Mayo's



Recommended Posts

save the logo to your computer, then go to a hosting site, I use www.imageshack.us its really simple to use, just click browse, choose the image you saved, then click "host it" after they host your image they give you a lot of options, scroll down beneath the big advertisment in the middle and use the hotlink for forums 1. Copy all this mumbo jumbo into the edit signiture section on this site, Hope this helped!

Thanks Allison! I am on it!!

Also..... I think I have attached my ticker to the wrong spot (signature?) I can not click on it to edit it. I have to delete the old and create a new ticker to show a change in weight ( I am losing a bit on my pre-op diet). However, I noticed that I can click on just about every one else's ticker. Once again.... any help is appreciated!!

Hey girls, love both of the names. I got banded on the 5th so I I'm partial to Shrinkos de mayo. I feel so so. Still have gas in my upper shoulder and under my BREAST! Very uncomfortable! I know walking helps. But otherwise I feel hungry every few hours, but can only sip a little Water or eat some Jello.< /p>

Hi fellow Shrinkos!

I was banded on May 6. I am still feeling blah. Today is better, though. It hurts to get out of bed. My gas pain is in my lower abdomen, not my shoulder at all. I am walking like a feind because I don't want to sit down or lay down (it hurts to get up). That may be helping my gas move down. Also (beware of TMI...) I am having mild diarrhea. How can I? I am only drinking Water and tiny sips of apple juice?!?

Anyway, it feels weird knowing that I have a band inside me. It's like being pregnant before you can feel it.

Good luck to my fellow May Bandsters! I will post more as I am able.

Congrats to those who have been banded so far and good luck to those who will be soon. The Band is a wonderful thing, next year this time you will be looking fabulous and feeling so thankful that you did this!

All the best to you!

Hi all,

I was banded on 5/13/08 with Dr. Carter. I have not had a fill yet but I need one so bad. I have not lost that much weight but I can tell the difference with my clothing.

I want that Shrinko De mayo ticker, does anyone know where I can get it?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
