Banded on the 15th, getting better as each day goes by. No stool for 5 days. Anyone else like this? Plus how do I add the weight loss ticker to my name.:tongue_smilie:

Hi Kelly!

Congrats on getting banded! It's a great too as long as you work it! I tool had either no stole or completely loose stole until the day I started mushies. Honestly when you think about it if all your taking in is liquids then all your going to put out is liquids. So I think it's normal.

For the ticker go to Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy... and create your ticker. Once you have it copy the BB code and under the User CP here edit your signature and add the BB code in there. Also don't forget what the pin was that you set for your ticker so that you can update it later on as you lose weight.

Pete, Kelly congrats on your band!

Pete, I've followed the edit signature instructions (several times) still unsuccessful.

I feel like an idiot, because I'm fairly computer savvy.

I've done the tickerfactory, but I cannot get it imbedded in my signature.

I've tried pasting the link in the URL text box (after trying to save the signature, it says "invalid file"), and also saving the image from the ticker website and pasting the pic.

Neither show up.

Oh well, color me stupid. :biggrin:

Ok, I was being an idiot. I re-read your instructions and finally the "BB code" stuck out, and then I found it and realized I pasted that code in the word pad, not the URL text box!

Thanks for your help! :-)

      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. 🤞
