Surgery Date Ticker Issue



Recommended Posts

They not only removed the ticker, but also, my pre-op checklist I had in the sig. :angry: :angry: :angry:

This is a bit upsetting to me. The ticker documented my weight loss from my date of surgery. Surely there is a way to get back to document it? Very inconsiderate for you to remove this without notice.

Also, the slowness of the load time probably has a whole lot more to do with the massive amount graphic heavy advertisements plastered all of the boards. NINE + on this page alone.

Not letting us use the problematic tickers rather than removing them all would have been nice. (I moderated a forum like this one and there were certain tickers that causes issues, it wasn't all of them.) I used My Fitness Pal's ticker because I already track there and it's updated and accurate. Now, I'll have to login to this site via a computer (I'm almost always using the app) to update which means it will get update much less frequently.

Totally agree about the ads causing slow loading too. I know this is your site and you can do whatever you please, but hopefully user feedback is important.

Mine was removed and when I created one on this site, I said I had reached goal today. I reached goal over a year ago and there's no way to edit that part of the ticker.

Someone did not think the programming through very well.

Where is the selection of tickers to choose from? The email I got has a link, but it basically goes to a page with nothing on it.

If you click on your username in the top right corner, a box should come up with a link for My Tickers (at the end of the left column).

I received an email today telling me they deleted my ticker. So, I picked one from this sight today. Honestly, I liked my old one better. :(

I spent a long time selecting my personal ticker, and it had significant meaning to me. I am disappointed in the paltry number of choices for the VST site's tickers, and I hope you will be adding more options.

My original ticker was a roller coaster with a banana ticker, which meant a lot since one of the reasons I decided on WLS was because of problems I had fitting on a roller coaster as well as my past history with weight loss attempts mirrored a roller coaster. And the banana? Our sleeves are banana-shaped.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
