I'm not computer literate and see posts that contain photos.

How? It's like in their signature or something because it's in every post.

So many have asked for a before and after shot...I finally am brave enough....but how?

Thanks!

One easy way is got to Photo Bucket (photobucket.com) and you can join for free. You download the photos you want to share there then it will convert them to code for you. You cut and paste that code on to your signature here and wa-la! Just make sure when you download to photo bucket that you make it a smaller size or when you paste it here it will be visually huge.

As for tickers, you can go to tickerfactory.com and set up a ticker you like there...it is easy and they walk you through it. Same as photo bucket, you get the code at the end to cut and paste in your signature then you are done. I hope this helps.

In my case I have professional pictures of my cats that I scanned onto my computer and saved as a file. To do personal photos you need either a scanner, or a printer that also scans. Once the pictures are saved, you can upload them to all sorts of things. My cats are microchipped so I uploaded their pictures to HomeAgain and have ID cards for them with their chip numbers and photos. For here I went to Edit Signature and clicked on Browse, brought up the file my photos were in, and selected the picture I wanted. Then I saved my signature so the picture appears on each message I post. I have 4 cats, so I periodically change the picture. That is a little trickier. You have to delete the one that is there,then pick out the new one and save the signature again.

these are jpeg files.

This picture is uploaded from Photobucket (it is my niece, she was Clara in her dance company's performance of The Nutcracker this past Christmas - just grabbed the first available picture to try this out, cuz I've never posted pictures on this forum either. I opened up the picture in Photobucket, right clicked on it, copied the link ("properties"), then clicked on the little photo icon above when I was writing this entry, which opened up a little box where I pasted the photo properties into it. Or, you can enter it manually. Where you want the picture to appear in your post, type copy photo link here.

Well, tried something else and it's just blank.

It's thru Paint....bmp file, not the jpeg. Can't figure out how to change the type of file.

      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.
