Tickertape & Bowel Movement

I made a ticker tape but I can't figure out how to get it on my profile and stuff...any suggestions? BTW...4 days post op and feeling pretty good. Eat six liquid meals a day, drink an ocean of water, walk and sleep is my life story right now...oh yea except I haven't had a BM...is that normal?? Thanks, Kim from Rocky Mount

Hey, Girl! 

I am so glad you are doing well!  I messaged you on myspace, but I had not heard anything.  I do not know much about the ticker tape, but I am sure some of the pros here can help you.  I look forward to talking to you more soon!

I think you just right click on your ticker tape and then paste to your signature box.   I had problems to and think that was the instructions i got but i am senile and if wrong, someone will tell you. Good luck on the upcoming surgery.  I didn't have any BM problems during the liquid phase but was on Carnation Instant Breakfast which has plenty of fiber in it. Take care and good luck, Pam

Copy and paste the actual ticker, not the code, into your sig.

Hey Kim,      I had the same concerns regarding BMs. When you're on the liquid phase you won't have much of a bowel movement...and sometimes not for daze...since you aren't eating food. I was always so regular as far as that goes. Now? I'm lucky to go 1x every 2 daze. FRUSTRATING!! I feel like I should be going more since I always did before. Takes some getting used to. *sigh* Mare

Hi Kim,

Congratulations!!! Things will start getting better soon. Keep drinking and walking.

Take care care,

Barb

Hi Kim,

 

Congrats on your surgery and feeling pretty good!  I have just a few more details for you on the ticker in your signature.  Go to your ticker and highlight it and hit copy, or right click on it and click copy.  Then go to one of the major OH Forums (the NC Forum will work just fine for this) and on the left hand side menu click on User Settings.  That’s where you can set up your signature.  Paste the ticker into there, set up your preferences and hit save.  Then you’re done!  Good luck!
