Hello! I am 15 months post surgery but just now getting on this site. Been registered on here for over a year but havent came back because Im so confused. It seems so overwhelming to me. Ha! Any advice or suggestions on how to maneuver around this site would be helpful. All these topics of discussion....how do you keep up? I have downloaded the iPhone app. Is there specific settings I need to apply? Do you follow people? How does it all work? Am I even in the right "forum?" How will I even know if anyone replies to my "rant?" Lol. Sorry for all the questions. I'm a Facebook & Pinterest junkie. If its not as simple as that, then I tend to panic! =) but I sure do need the support this site seems to offer!

welocme... all I do is got to the main forum page and read the topics I am interested in or now that I am almost to goal I will try to help answer questions from people considering the band. I access it on the PC, laptop and Ipad. I have the phone ap but its so small I dont like to use it.

I dont think there are really any specific rules.... I have been here 2 years and havent broken one yet... I dont think.

Welcome!

Thank you Floridays! There are so many categories but that helps me. I'm not so sure I like this app either. I will try the iPad & laptop.

Congrats to almost goal! That's great! I still have a ways to go but I will get there! :)

On the IPhone I use the current tab at the bottom. The first option will show you only postings from the last 2 days in ALL the different forums. I sometimes will use the "since last visit", but sometimes the program will reload and not show any postings.???’ The "participated" is kinda hard to use because it displays them in the order in which you replied to them. If there are any new posts, then you have to scroll to find them. (If you post a lot then you have to scroll a lot at times.) I think it should put the ones with new posts first so you don't have to scroll so much.

I hope this makes since, I feel this is easiest way to use the IPhone app.

Also when I post I mostly post in the general forum. That forum gets more traffic therefore more likely to get responses.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
