Okay key me see if I remember. Type ticker in your search engine and a website will come up go to that site and it will ask you to follow a step by step to make your specific weight loss ticker. Remember the information you give to log into the ticker site because you will need it to update your ticker as you loose weight. Then the site gives you a web URL thing and says copy this and paste it. DO NOT copy that part. Instead copy the ticker itself and then past it in with your signature that way it will pop up whenever you use your signature in a message. If you paste the URL thing it will just show up as jibberish and never work. Stephanie

My surgery is the day before yours, so it's two weeks exactly today. I've been finding myself anxious for the last few days, thinking that I don't remember anything about what I need to do after surgery and worrying about the procedure itself. I told my Dr tonight that I was feeling anxious, and he said that he would be more concerned if I weren't anxious. According to him, it's a sign that I am treating the whole thing with appropriate gravity. I have liquid diet for four weeks before surgery, so I'm two weeks into that already. I've lost almost 14 pounds since starting that, so it all seems to be going well. Zandra Q
