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! :-)

      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.
