Yeah I got a banner! Thanks for the tip!

Well I slipped off the pre-op diet wagon last night to say goodbye to my favorite steakhouse. Actually just had steak so didn't cheat that much. So back on the diet full force today. Mine consists of 3 Protein smoothies and 3 protein meals. I am not starving but I am bored with the food!

Anyone in my area of Marietta/Atlanta? Where is everyone from?

LOOK! I figured out how to do the glitter words!!

-Click on my August All-stars it will take you the web-site

-Complete steps 1-4

-Go to your profile and edit signature

-paste your code in the box where you signature is...then hit save signature

****You will not see the glitter until after you save it, if you hit preview signature it will tell you there's an error and it won't work....It took me about 10 - 15 minutes to figure it out.

Ok - I got as far as creating the banner. I have cut and pasted myself silly. Which box do you cut and paste? Do you cut the whole thing? Where do you put it? help...I want a banner:sad:

Hi everyone!

Are you accepting Australian banders-to-be? I'm getting banded on the 1st of August and would love some moral support from others who are being banded around the same time. Plus I love the glittery banners!

Thank you for the welcome! I will start working on a banner, I'm so excited about joining all of you!

Yes cutiew I'm on Optifast for 2 of my 3 meals at the moment. I see my Dr on the 23rd and may go completely on Optifast then but for now I'm already struggling on the diet I'm on. I'm only in day 2 of the diet though so I'm hoping it's going to get better. The good news is that I've lost almost 3 kgs already, though I suspect it's probably been Water more than anything.

Is anyone else on a pre-op diet? Perhaps we can sit in a corner rocking back and forth together! Lol!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
