Thats right! We have finished the new skin for LapBandTalk.com. After taking your suggestions on the other skin many of you were unhappy with it so we decided to remake another. Hopefully this one is much better and you all enjoy it more! If you have any questions or concerns with the skin please PM me or post them in this thread.

If you do not currently see the new skin, please click the link below:

Alex, I like it! I find it much easier on the eyes. I just need to re-orient myself. :)

I'm soooo confused! Now it looks to me like the OLD skin, but a few minutes ago I saw the new one. I suppose it will all come clear in time.

Hmm, I only see the new one, with the girl at the top. Maybe Alex is messing with us.

How weird! We're looking at the same page, and I see the old one.

I saw that girl, though; who d'ya think that is? :)

While the skin is nice, I don't like the orientation of the ads to the left because now it causes me to shift my page to read the right side. On the teal skin when the ads were on the right, I could still read all of the board without problems and the ads were still there, yet I did not have to shift anything.

Also where is the Today's Posts or New Posts??? That is the feature I use 99% of the time!

Okay, I'm a dee dee dee, I did find the new posts, but it is awkward having it off the tool bar and as part of a sentence. The color for the "new posts" link doesn't stand out so it is not easy to find.

Also, the other thing about the ads being in the left is that we read from left to right (in English anyway), while ad placement on the left would then direct you to the ad first, it is aggravating. Especially when on the net we are used to menus being on the left of pages and ads usually being on the right.

I actually prefer the ads on the left side. Maybe I'm right-brained....who knows. Certainly not in my "right" mind, though.....LOL

Who's the girl at the top? I hope she has a Lap Band. I deplore the use of ringers in weight loss forums (or ads).

Nice skin, BTW, Alex...

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
