Hi! I'm in Gainesville! Welcome!

I don't really know how to get the "ticker" either; but I know someone here can help you. I've seen instructions before.

Hi I am from Pasco County, just north of Tampa. Nice to hear from other Floridians. I don't know how to do too much. I just keep trying things, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I was banded 12 days ago. Just getting started. I am feeling great. I am still on Full liquids for 10 days. I feel like I could eat, but know I shouldn't. Take care.

Not a silly question at all! I just put mine up. You basically have to go into Quick Links and click on Edit Signature. At the bottom there is an add signature box and a spot to put the ticker code in. In the meantime, I will try to find the tutorial someone made for lapbandtalk and post it for you.

Greetings from the Space Coast. Newly banded by Dr Mark Fusco @ Lifeshape.net, Melbourne FL. Surgery was Monday 4/28, I'm feeling great, incisions are starting to itch already, my first post op is 5/8. I am on liquids until Sunday, and then I go to creamy stuff, with Protein Shakes. I too am about OVER the liquids too. I've had alot of burping, something I hardly ever did. I managed to get my ticker, but OMG, please don't ask me how. Now I can't figure out how to change it as I change. Keep posting and keep up the good work.:wub: Gail

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
