Calling all SHRINKO de Mayo's



Recommended Posts

save the logo to your computer, then go to a hosting site, I use www.imageshack.us its really simple to use, just click browse, choose the image you saved, then click "host it" after they host your image they give you a lot of options, scroll down beneath the big advertisment in the middle and use the hotlink for forums 1. Copy all this mumbo jumbo into the edit signiture section on this site, Hope this helped!

Thanks Allison! I am on it!!

Also..... I think I have attached my ticker to the wrong spot (signature?) I can not click on it to edit it. I have to delete the old and create a new ticker to show a change in weight ( I am losing a bit on my pre-op diet). However, I noticed that I can click on just about every one else's ticker. Once again.... any help is appreciated!!

Hey girls, love both of the names. I got banded on the 5th so I I'm partial to Shrinkos de mayo. I feel so so. Still have gas in my upper shoulder and under my BREAST! Very uncomfortable! I know walking helps. But otherwise I feel hungry every few hours, but can only sip a little Water or eat some Jello.< /p>

Hi fellow Shrinkos!

I was banded on May 6. I am still feeling blah. Today is better, though. It hurts to get out of bed. My gas pain is in my lower abdomen, not my shoulder at all. I am walking like a feind because I don't want to sit down or lay down (it hurts to get up). That may be helping my gas move down. Also (beware of TMI...) I am having mild diarrhea. How can I? I am only drinking Water and tiny sips of apple juice?!?

Anyway, it feels weird knowing that I have a band inside me. It's like being pregnant before you can feel it.

Good luck to my fellow May Bandsters! I will post more as I am able.

Hey Shrinko De Mayos,

I just had to check in because I love your name -- so cute, funny and clever!!!

Congrats to those who have been banded so far and good luck to those who will be soon. The Band is a wonderful thing, next year this time you will be looking fabulous and feeling so thankful that you did this!

All the best to you!

Hi all,

I was banded on 5/13/08 with Dr. Carter. I have not had a fill yet but I need one so bad. I have not lost that much weight but I can tell the difference with my clothing.

I want that Shrinko De mayo ticker, does anyone know where I can get it?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
