Sorry, I can't resist trying to help with the techy stuff!! If I'd been born about 20 years later than I was, I probably would've been working in the computer world instead of nursing!

LAINY: My post of last night on this board, 6:40 pm, gives some instructions on setting up the ticker at tickerfactory.com. Get back to me if you are still having trouble. They're fun, aren't they?

MARCY: I'm not sure about including photos in your post... don't know if that's possible, but if you go to "Gallery" in the top menu, and then "Upload", you can upload your photos & then just let us know they are there so we can go view them.

Hello (I know I'll forget to put everyone's name) everyone,

I am headed to camp in New Hampshire about 2 hours from home. I will try to check in tonight to wish Dini well.

Hope all is well with everyone. I am doing great. The port pain is greatly reduced today and I was able to sleep last night without being propped up.

I'll miss you guys. But I will try to check in.

;):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

You all are going to do great!

Hello All,

Just a quick shout out to DINI, our JUNE 26 Bander. Hope everything goes smoothly, and you have a quick recovery. You'll be in my prayers all day!!!!! Please let us know how you are once you feel up to it. Take good care of yourself. We'll miss you. By the way, the walk was great. We had 38 teams, and raised close to $60,000 for the Cancer Society.

I'll stop in later to chat some more. Just wanted Dini to get her message before heading to bed tonight. Hope you get a good night sleep.< /p>

I am sitting here parked outside a building at camp that I know I can get wireless internet at. I feel like a spy or something! LOL!

I tried so hard to get somewhere so I could get online early enough. I am so sorry I missed you.

I tried IM'ing you - you must be TRYING to sleep. I hope you have more luck than I did the night before surgery.

Please know I am praying for you:pray2: tomorrow and the rest of the week of course. I hope all goes wonderfully well for you. I know it will! Just remember Walk, Walk, Walk!!! I can't wait to log on again and hear how it went.

Hello everyone else. Hope everyone else is doing well. Just in case I don't get back online before you have your surgery....

Lynette617, Laurend, Bobbert's Mom, MrsHorne, Cherrybomb

I will be thinking of all of you next week. Hope everything goes as smooth as can be.

Lynette so glad to hear the Relay for Life went so well. We just volunteered at our local on 2 weekends ago.

Talk to you all soon I hope.

I am exhausted - I did a lot today. But I was able to do it. I don't feel like I did too much either. I mean I am tired but that's it. Tomorrow is only a week for me since surgery. So you all have a speedy recovery to look forward to.

Good night. :notagree

DINI, you gave me goose bumps just reading your post. I'm only a week away:eek:, and I can hardly stand the wait anymore. It's exciting for others to get banded, so that's what is keeping me going. I'll be next, and I'm so excited!!!!!!!!! Hope you get some rest, but I'll probably be up all night the night before also.

Welcome to all the new Lucky 7's.:) It's getting closer!!!

Chimboree, how are you? Still have lots of Dr. appointments to get to?

Breadlady, CAMPING???????? Already????? Wow, you go girl. I hope I feel like doing half as much as you've done since being banded. :D Amazing. Hey Breadlady, how was you "gas"pains? I hadn't heard you mention them yet. What are you taking for it? I bought the gas x thin strips. I hope they work.

Lainy, welcome. This is great, Dini has someone over there close to her.

You and Dini both have shoes on your ticker, how funny.

Marcy, I don't know how to get the pictures up. I had a hard enough time getting the pic in my avatar. I need a new one. That one is at least a year old. Good luck with the "atkins" you'll be doing. I could never get pat the firt 2 weeks without my fruit. bread, I could live without, but don't take my fruit away.

Hope everyone is doing good.

Dini,

We're all keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. You are just a few hours from surgery now! That's exciting. In 25 more days I have my turn! We'll be waiting to hear how you're doing. I am in my 3rd week of pre-op diet trying to lose 30 lb. A little under 10 lb. to go. I want a little "BREAK" from this 500 cal diet to enjoy a few treats before surgery!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
