go to ticker factory.com
make the ticker
at the end when they show you what it looks like right click the PICTURE of the ticker.
select copy
then paste the picture into your signature...
works every time...
i dunno why those gibberish things they tell you to copy and paste dont work..

Hmmm that's a good one. I would love those little sample forks and spoons... Maybe ebay they have everything on ebay... Or resturaunt depot if you know someone with a membership... I am now on the hunt for a sugar free or no sugar added malt powder. To add to my vitamin regeime I found biotin losenges at vitamine shoppe. Biotin is what they recommend for strong hair and nails. I don wanna loose my hair. It is finally sooooo long it took forever and I don't want it to fall out!

Topic: RE: April 15th club.
Hi Katie,

Very exciting! Lovely to meet you. I'm 5 days into Optifast (my liquid diet) now and I am feeling better now. The first two days I was fine, the third day I has pretty sleepy and yesterday I was so exhausted I barely has the energy to move. Last nigt I was hungry through the night for tyhe first time in years but today when I woke the hunger was gone and I have energy, and am keen to go for a walk, so I'm off and on my way towards to water to enjoy a walk.

The liquid diet has been interesting. It's a bit of a battle of the mind. Even when you aren't hungry, your brain tries to tell you you are!

Talk soon

Chey

:)

I'm April 17 also!  We'll have to keep up with each other - kinda like the buddy system!

I saw someone mention vitamins.  Here's what I've gotten so far.

- Chewable Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D - 90 wafers - $12.95 per bottle at GNC
- Centrum Complete - Walmart (saw on main board where Flinstone Completes are a child's vitamin and DO NOT have everything we need - I don't know - my surgeon also mentioned Flinstones, but said anything is good as long as it is COMPLETE and CHEWABLE)
- Zinc Berry Lozenges - GNC - for hair loss
- Iron 18 mg - GNC
- B-12 sublingual - Walmart

GNC sells a really good protein powder also - bottle's at home, post the name later - tastes like chocolate milk - my 10-year-old son loves it

Does anyone have any suggestions for finding little spoons and forks.  I have baby spoons and forks as a last resort.  But what I'm looking for are disposable.  Have you ever gone into Sam's and tasted the samples?  Well, sometimes they include a little fork or spoon if it's something you can't eat with your fingers.  I want some of those to carry in my purse for use when eating out and at work.
