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?

      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.
