Countdown ticker



Recommended Posts

How do you add a count down ticker if surgery was actually in the past? When I try it gives an error along the lines of goal cannot be less than start. Maybe there needs to be a new ticker added for time since surgery perhaps?

I have the weight counter which works great, but noticed some people were using the surgery countdown to show how long it has been since surgery. That is the one it doesn't seem like you can add post surgery.

Seems like you can go in the past for the current month, but anything over than produces an error when it saves.

I don't have the surgey date ticker either once I had the procedure I deleted it! Could you maybe add the info as a signature like on Missy's post above??

Ohhh ok, that makes sense!

Perhaps you can add a blurb in your signature line saying when you had surgery? That's what I did.

I have to edit it every time and act like it is new but I do go by surgery date I think it also has bmi and another one to choose from but you will have to look at them , not sure right now , hope you get it also remember they are updating the site as I have had trouble with a few things my self.

You know, Alex is having a lot of updates done to the site and it's possible that the ticker you want is not available at this time? Blogs are down, picture gallery is down too.

Gary, thanks for reporting this bug. We will have this fixed once the site upgrade is completed.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
