Hi all you April Bandsters! We have our own April '09 Forum here. This will be our 1st Master Thread to chat, share dates, diets, feelings, etc. When it starts getting too long (loads too slowly) we can start a 2nd and so on.

Sherry (Sissyh1006) has started a list with all our surgery dates, so she'll be along soon and you can give her updates.

If you want a "Bunny Bandsters - April '09" signature line (see below) then click HERE (feel free to change anything). On LBT go to 'User CP' (in the top banner) then down to 'Edit your Signature' (on the Left column). Now copy the PICTURE of the Bunny signature with the peep and paste it into the edit your signature box.

Can't wait to meet you all! -BG

Ok guys I need some help. I have my Bunny Bandster banner in my sig. But I made a weight ticker but cant figure out how to get it in there. I am not exactly the best with computers LOL.

Thanks

Jen

Hi Sissy,

can you please add me to the "April Hopeful" list? Thanks!

About the signature thing: I am usually very good with computers, but I have created and saved a "signature" and it isn't showing up. I have tried everything I can think of and can't get it to show up. Anyone else ever have this problem when you were new on the site?

thanks!

Sherri

Hi guys

To get your own ticker: First, click on anyone's ticker. A new window should open up. You choose create your own ticker and click on the weight loss areas. Choose the background for your ticker (16 pages to choose from) then choose next and choose your marker then choose next then enter your details (including a password) and voila it is created. Copy everything in the bb code area and then go to your profile, click where it says customize profile (to the right just under your name) and then click on edit signature and paste the code you copied from the ticker web site. Save and you are all done. You can preview signature first before you save if you like.

PharmaGirl has all the instructions, but in case you need pics...There's also a Tutorial right here on LBT HERE.

I am pretty computer savy too, but can't ge the cute Peep Blinkie to work! Can anyone help me? I tried everything in from the very first post, but I didn't work for me.

Thanks Pharmagirl and Band groupie. As you can see I finally got it to work.

Great job!

Hopeful, I have no idea about the peep but maybe trying putting a return before the weight/BMI ticker (so that it is on a separate line. Groupie may know more.

On another thing, what the dickens is a "peep" - I've never heard that expression in relation to Easter. Is it an American thing. I'll ask Lise (my partner), who is American but in case she doesn't know either ...

It's ok - don't worry about answering. I think she was surprised I'd never heard of them (we're forever discovering things we each don't know about or which we call differently eg., in the USA its a trunk where we call it a boot, etc, etc). For any aussies out there who were in my shoes when it comes to peeps (ie., oblivious), peeps are marshmallow things (usually yellow or pink) moulded into the shape of a chick or bunny.

Yep, Hopeful- I think you need a 'return' between your tickers. And did you just highlight and copy the picture of the sig?

Pharma- A peep looks just like the pink bunny...made of white marshmallow coated with bright colors and crystal sugar...they now come in all kinds of shapes. The first ones were baby chicks...so 'Peeps'.

My doctor hasn't given me any 'rules' to really follow leading up to surgery. I am currently reducing my carb intake so that when I do go on liquids I wont deal w/the withdrawl on top of possible hungry and overall discomfort from the procedure. PLUS if they band me when they currently plan to I'll be dealing w/af @@ at the same time! when it rains it pours lol

How are you guys today?

That's nice you have no pre-op diet! I'm slow...what's af @@?

What kind of pills do you have to take Doodlebug? I hope that everything works out for you!!! What an anxiety provoking thing though - to not know if its going to happen or not! Hang in there!! I have to take 8 pills a day, 4 in the morning and 4 at night, 2 Previcides, and 6 antibiactics. They leave a bitter taste in my mouth but maybe the more they get in my system the more that will leave ( Or at least I hope so ) and thats not counting all my vit. But I'm determined to be a BUNNY BANDSTER also. So you guys keep me in your prayers!!! Don't you guys run off and leave me behind, OK lol

Same - I am really struggling. What are you eating? I have had 2 Optifast chocolate shakes VOMIT :tt2: and 1x optifast chicken Soup (which I just read the back of the packet expired 2 weeks ago but I cannot be bothered taking them back!) but the soup was by far nicer and a bit more like "food" I am SO FREAKING excited bout my veges tonight - you could tell me I am having 10 Big Mac Burgers and I couldn't be more excited than I am right now! hahah.

af is shorthand for aunt flo(w) meaning your monthly cycle. the @@ is me rolling my eyes about dealing with it :0)
