@Alex Brecher btw- pic on left is not me the guy is a cutie, but i'm cuter ROFLMAO also prob with changing profile pic (profile pic is showing someone else, not me) lines can be spaced differently one line might show same spacing, other line will have a big blank space can' t fix signature or ticker i am getting so upset i almost ate a glazed doughnut !! don't worry all, my mental restriction kicked in !!!! lite and fit greek, blueberry yogurt - here i come help!! tia

@Ldyvenus what a cutie you are i'm sitting here with a big smile it's nice to know that others like @Ken S. are looking into helping this ol' fart out LOL There's hope for me yet tia kathy

I don't know how to post pics tried many times before someone else posted pics for me thanx for showing me the area to add pic i did this before - after 5+ years PO i still can't post a pic i deleted ticker - wanted to start over with a new ticker one time they said something like "rendered" so they can't change (something like that) i need to change my GOAL date to 12/15/12 starting weight 235 lb >>>>>130 lb under my posts shows my sig with big spacs appearing - looking like it's on an actual gigantic page PS was at GOAL - now have been fluctuating periodically 3-6 lbs any help would be appreciated thanx kathy

@Ken S. first off, the guy on the left is an imposter he is cute, but i am cuter pic changed about 10 days ago please change pic back to NORMAL I must be missing something on how to change/fix ticker my signature too i can't fix lots of spacing between lines it looks nicer when there is one common space between lines - in example some times it might look like above with big blanks (i did this one above on purpose just so you can see what i'm talking about other posts too big spaces/blanks between lines (yeach) it would be great if you could make Q&A page (pages) people being able to ask all their questions other people have shown similar problems, i might have missed them/answers i know this website info is here, still need help!! at least that's what hubby always says in general!! kathy thanx for your help

@john925 I am 5+ years PO - GOAL past 4+ years (105 lbs down) during the last 2.5 years i fluctuated here and there as much as 5-7 lbs - but i consider myself at GOAL for ME, restriction gradually slowed down about 2 years+ my "mental" restriction" kicked in i still use a smaller plate with my small amounts trying to eat lessss sweets (that's a killer for me) pre-op my doc said to me "eat until you are full", then stop 2 bites earlier"! kind of like "tom" asks "fred" where is sleeve st???fred says,"watch me" - and get off 2 stops earlier!! I better stop writing now and grab a cookie oooops - meant to say Greek lite and fit blueberry yogurt weight gain would happen if i ate too often, and to much in this situation, size DOES matter you should usually/frequently follow all the rules that you've learned you can be a "little" lax as times passes I used to be 5"3 now i'm 6" tall kathy i will always be proudgrammy

hey Kentucky pretty in pink wow!! "both" pics you look great you now look happier, sassier, and...... i'm sure your daughter, and yourself are very proud of you now able to sleep better, no apnea sweet dreams keep up the good job kathy congrats PS profile pic on side somehow got messed up this guys pic is cute - but i am "cuter " ROFLMO

i had the sleeve 6 years ago this December 15th i lost 105lbs one year later - GOAL lots of hard work through out your adventure very worth it you work with the sleeve, and it will work for you i used to be 5"3' "short" now i'm 6" tall!! i was one month of turning 58 years OLD when i was sleeved now i am 63 years YOUNG!! to all newbies, and others on their trip threw sleeveland best of luck kathy

i didn't have the leak test kind of concerned me after the fact luckily i didn't have any problems PO i don't think it's a "must do" - think it's doc's decision - unless you ask/tell him one way or the other after 5+ years i think i am safe good luck kathy edit:the pic under my name changed a couple of days ago to a guy - this is NOT me!! wonder if this has happened to him too? my signature needs to be fixed too don't know his name also the signature on my page is messed with spaces wide apart (similar to @summerset my name is @proudgrammy @Alex Brecher could you look into this and fix it!! TIA kathy

@Alex Brecher under my name on the left (profile pic) there is a pic of a different person!! the info i wrote is correct, but the pic is wrong i would like to know how to fix my signature i wish there was a chapter/book Q&A about how to do things it would be very helpful to newbies - through VETS i am a healthier, happier VET - 5+ year - i'm still standing!! i would be happier if i knew the above answers TIA Kathy

how do i fix/change my signature spacing between lines is too much also such a gap thanx @Ken C kathy

@thisisthenewme lookin' good chic stepping out of the box.... out of the norm, empowers you!! loved your "old" hair style you look great now too good luck with your job interviews it will be a slam dunck!@ change is good kathy

always ask your dr for info - he's the one to follow/listen my doctor said, wait a couple of months at 5+ years, i still don't run - but i never did before @swimbikerun wisely inferred "Knowledge is Power" keep truckin!! good luck with surgery kathy

@Reddrobin i was sleeved 12/15/11, one month before i turned 58 years OLD - now I'm 63 years YOUNG down 105 lbs GOAL still around and kicking!!! any problems i've had are not limited to age (in my case) remember we're all different i'm not getting older, this chic is getting younger and healthier and happier good luck kathy

@ _Kate_ waste extra funny pill today?? Kathy

i would definitely do the sleeve again any day of the week, 2x on Sunday LOL no regrets about WLS or desire to have had a different surgery do a non-surgical method?ie dieting myself sure, i could continue to yo yo for the rest of my life! not being able to keep the lost weight off, and gain more lbs back - i don't think so!!! i can eat all foods - except frog legs but i never could/wanted to eat before surgery either "sounds" like you are a youngun? surgery hampering social life?? not for me!! unable to eat lots of food, drink - strength!! won't power -I WON'T eat this or that 5+ years PO - GOAL these past 4 years smiling, healthier, happier good luck with your choice kathy

@LizzieLizzieLillput WOW!!! that's great!! thumbs up bud

@shan0520 wow - great accomplishment (NSV) pushing yourself to reach 1 mile good for you if you must cry in the car make sure you have enough kleenex!! keep up the great job you are aces!!! kathy congrats

@newnurse1999 et al if you haven't started yet, take your measurements periodically - many times you might not lose any weight, but the inches will be melting, causing clothes sizes to go down an "official" stall starts when you haven't lost any weight for at least 3 weeks !! time varies, but the stall will break and you will lose again!! "God Grant Me Patience, Just Hurry Up About It"!!! continue following plan - don't get discouraged good luck kathy

hey bud at 3 weeks you are probably still on liquids liquids usually will not give you that full feeling as time passes, you will start to eat solids and get that "full" feeling - at that point one sign of being full is you will sneeze, or hiccup/burp way back when..... my hubby would yell to me "oink oink, piggy" cuz he could here my different sounds/noises when i was full!! LOL oh well, gotta love him !!! doc told me to eat till i'm full, then stop 2 bites earlier follow all the rules, especially eat and drink sssssslowly good luck kathy
