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 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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
