Calling all SHRINKO de Mayo's

Alright, for those who weren't crazy about May Flowers or who just, like me, absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE whoever came up with "Shrinko de Mayo", I wanted to come up with a logo for us. Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to work on it today and see what I can come up with but would love some ideas from you other talented folks!

    It was actually my Brother who came up with SHRINKO de Mayo -- at our house we're always looking for a reason to celebrate!! He was banded in July of 2006. So far he's lost over 220 pounds. I'm in

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!!

I like the shrinko de mayo logo! Very cute! I am getting my band on May 9th here in Aurora CO and am so excited. Nice to meet all of you, I'm Colleen:thumbup:

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.

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.

I wanna be a shrinko demayo flower too so please count me in .. My big day is officially May 19th .. I can't wait ... I love being in May .. Best group ever ....

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?
