This may seem like a stupid question, but I can't seem to figure out how to join a group! I would like to join the February bandsters (I had surgery Feb 23) and even found the link somewhere, but I can't seem to find the "join button." When I go to add groups, it is for adding a brand new group, which I don't want to do.

Any help would be appreciated!

Are you on a computer or a mobile device? On the computer there should be a join this group button. The mobile site is not as user friendly as the computer version. Although I am a member of the Springers group I am not able to read any of the posts from my android. It asks for a password if I even get that far. The mobile app is still new and hopefully these things will be worked out.

Hope this helps some!

On the iPhone app, I hit the arrow at the top right screen and "subscribe to thread". Im new to this too so I don't know if that will help. Never logged onto the computer version.

I am on a regular desktop, and all I see is "follow this group." I have no option to join the group. I am signed in, so I don't know why it won't give me an option to join. I thought maybe just following would work, but when I go to My Groups, it says I belong to none! no one wants me! :(

What am I doing wrong?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
