Hey can anyone help me with loading my WEIGHT TICKER on my page?

I tried & tried... but i cheated on the 1st day of my 5 day liquid diet (prior surgery)...Will this have a big effect when its time for my surgery? I need some encouragement.not sure if i can do this.:cheated:

Hey all.. i am new also 2 the website. my surgery is june 16th.. i'm so darn nervous.. well the 1st day is over( almost) for the 5 day liquid diet prior surgery. I have 2 admit, it has been hell. but i just joined this site 2day & i luv it already. The support & honesty is great on here.. I'm glad 2 know there are alot of ppl that feel the way i do...

Thank u guys so much;..this really helps. i was just thinking about this website,wondering if anyone replied... .. I'm kind of all alone on this. well besides my bestie(she's having surgery also).. she is so very uneducated about this procedure. so the conversation is very minimal...but thx again...i'm going 2 hang in there.

hey....i totally feel...but Happy bday... i'm on my liquid diet as well starting 2day. my surgery is on the 16th also.. all i can say is keep ur head up...i'm going thru hell myself. so theres not much i can say... i decided 2 read ur replies for my own encouragement...lol... good luck

Hi all.. ok my surgery is in 5 days. i'm now doing the 1st day of the 5 day liquid diet.STARVING! CRYING!ANGRY! I'm all alone with this decison i'm making. my weight has been a rollercoaster. kinda like Oprah.ha! so many stories have been good but some discouraging. i'm looking for encouragement @ this point. its only day 1 of liquids & i'm breaking down like a baby. i know this is what i want to do,but don't know if i can stand it. honestly, i've been a weed smoker for over 15yrs..(only 30).i'm having the hardest time letting go. so many things r running through my head. the process has moved quickly say 2 months. going thru apptments & approved within days of my last apptment. just scared

well said by u all..this is great info...

ok..i must say u guys r scaring me.. i have surgery in 5 days... on day 1 of this liquid diet..already i'm going nuts.(
