I wanted to know how I can add a ticker? Is there a signature for this site. I for the life of me cant find one if there is

Any good free websites to log progress? When I did weight watchers, many people had them but cant seem to find which ones are avaible now. Also any good sites to log food. I use to use FITDAY.com but it doesnt really apply for lap banders!

Thanks:tongue_smilie:

I started using my-calorie-counter.com today to track my weight and what I eat. I'm in my pre-op diet stage, where my surgeon wants me to eat high Protein (105 g) and low carb (about 150 g of carbs, which doesn't seem very low to me, but that's what the dietician said to do). So I'm using the website to help me keep track of everything.

Did you figure out how to keep your ticker in your siggy without doing it each time?

Yes, there is a signature where you can add our ticker. Go to your profile and click on customize profile and on the left there is an area to edit your signature. This is where you put it.

I just did this and it worked for me. In the two "upload" boxes at the bottom of the "Edit Signature" profile page, you need to type the html address that you get from the ticker website. You get this address by entering your pin and then clicking "get code" on their site. You're not going to type the whole thing, your only going to use what appears after the http://. ... Here's what mine looks like.

http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wX1EWDh/weight.png

You'll put this in the "Option 1" box. Make sure there aren't any extra characters like these <> at the ends. That will cause the invalid file response.

After you get everything how you want it, there's a little purple link to the right of your ticker image that says "insert". Click this for it to go into your signature. Don't forget to click save after that.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
