Healthydiva50 0 Posted March 27, 2009 Hello April Bandsters, Thanks for posting this thread as I am also scheduled for surgery in April, April 7th to be exact. Can't wait, I'm excited and nervous at the same time. But I must say I am more excited at this point. I'm currently on the 2-week pre-op liquid fast. It's harder then I thought it would be. But it's so important to me I'm sticking to it! Rene Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jukebox81782 0 Posted March 27, 2009 Jessica, I'm still totally impressed that you're dieting and working out before even being on the liquid diet!!!! Thanks, hopeful! Although my sister's visiting from Colorado, and I've been eating bad dinners... I have my final consult on the 3rd!!! :smile2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lindasqd51 0 Posted March 27, 2009 Liquid for 2 weeks I think I'd fail. Is how long you're on liquids based on anything? I'm only going to be liquid for 2 days. Linda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lingling 0 Posted March 27, 2009 Welcome to all of new weightloss bunnies! I have a MAJOR problem! Can anyone help? My parents are going away for spring break and will be gone for Easter. They want to have us over for dinner on Sunday :smile2: What in the world am I going to do?! No one knows about my surgery. I know I could just tell the truth, but my grandparents are going to be there. I am NOT telling them. My grandmother is a former nurse and VERY opinionated about things. All of these people have said something about my weight, but none of them will be for me doing the surgery. Any ideas on what to do?! Hopeful, I would tell them you are doing "the lemon detox diet" or some kind of detox or tell them you are sick, that is what I am telling people at work - much easier!! You cannot break the fast though -as you will have to do the first "five days" again and be starving!!! Good luck! SMILAN!!! BAND TWINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Band_Groupie 3 Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Hi All, Does anyone know anything about a pin# for ticker access. I don't remember creating a pin and now cannot access my ticker for updates. I'd be just as happy if someone can tell me how to delete my current ticker, then I'll just create a new one. Thanks! I've only ever created a new one, so I don't know about the pin. To delete your current ticker. If you go to page 9 here, post 128 I give instructions on how to get to your signature (just skip the Easter Text instructions). When you get to the Edit Signature page go down to the middle 'Edit Signature' box. Right click on your ticker and a box will pop up. Left click on 'cut' and you're done. Oh, and don't forget to click the 'Save Signature' button at the bottom to save any changes. Welcome! Edited March 27, 2009 by Band_Groupie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayTee562 1 Posted March 27, 2009 The word "Pin#" confused me also it's the password you used when you created it not necessarily a number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hopeful41411 0 Posted March 27, 2009 I love how our group is growing! Thank you for all of the advice. I think I might just say I'm not feeling well. I certainly don't want to cheat. I weighed today and hadn't lost anything. That is so frustrating! Note to self: don't weigh yourself every day when you already feel like you're starving!!!

ThinWithin 0 Posted March 27, 2009 I love how our group is growing! Thank you for all of the advice. I think I might just say I'm not feeling well. I certainly don't want to cheat. I weighed today and hadn't lost anything. That is so frustrating! Note to self: don't weigh yourself every day when you already feel like you're starving!!! Ha ha ha I think it'd be really hard to have/host/attend a family dinner near surgery. Heck I typically host thanksgiving and I am taking this year off and that is about 7 months out from surgery. I wonder if I will ever be strong enough to not weigh every day. I only record it on fridays but every morning after I pee there I stand in all my nekkid glory on the scale hoping it's lower than the day before lol!!

In my birthday suit... don't want an extra ounce from any clothes. ha ha ha I noticed after my shower that my hair is already starting to fall out. Oy!

Band_Groupie 3 Posted March 27, 2009 I wonder if I will ever be strong enough to not weigh every day. Why?

Band_Groupie 3 Posted March 27, 2009 OK, who needs Ticker/Banner help, because SOMEBODY (Thin, is it you? ) forgot to put a return (Enter) between their tickers and I'm WAY too lazy to scroll side to side and I can't see everything you're writing....LOL.

Elayne 0 Posted March 27, 2009 Since I have the biggest house (and the most "gifted" bread maker) - I usually host the holiday dinners. Everyone knows I'm getting the surgery so this year my mom is hosting Easter dinner.< /p> She keeps asking me what to serve the family and what to serve me. My surgery is the next day - April 13. I'm enjoying the "I don't care!" answers I'm able to get away with finally after all these years. I just say - "It's your house - your dinner - your decision." I'll bring a clear liquid something-or-other and enjoy the family without the kitchen-duty. :crying: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
