Well, you started a thread - and that's the hardest part... You can be sure you have all your information in the User CP so people can send you PM's (private messages) and e-mails. Folks pretty much chat by appointment only...

If you have specific things you want to read about - click on search (above) and type in a key word or two. It will bring up all the threads that mention the key words.

Welcome!

Top left of this screen - on the blue bar it says "User CP". I would have to guess, but I am assuming CP is Customer Profile - that would be you.

If you double click on that, it brings up a screen where you can put in a signature and an avatar and some information about you so any member can check you out.

Just play around in there - it's pretty user-friendly.

:]

I think I'm getting there -- I have a snowman now ;) My status is that I am awaiting the appt with the surgeon . Have been in a bariatric program for 3 months now. All I need now is a surgery date!

Party on, Fellow Bandsters. And if you have actual pictures of yourselves, we selfishly request that you use those for your avatars.

Click on Edit Avatar (in User CP) and scroll down to the bottom of the page. There should be a blank dot next to the words "use custom avatar". Click it and browse for your photo.

Photo sizing/cropping is out of my experience. I got Penni60/Penni Merrick to help me with that. :]

Gotta fly, folks. It has been a long day and it's time for me to head on outta here.

Talk to Y'all tomorrow.

IF you got a pic you want to be made into an Avatar then send it to Penni60@aol.com and I will take care of it for you.

I will also send you directions on how to add the pic as well.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
