Recommended Posts

it would be nice to filter through threads by date. Much if not all the information is valuable but sometimes I want to see if Im able to communicate with people who are activly posting still so I can get a responce.

Make the "Search" feature more efficient. For example, the results should show posts of searched item instead of a thread where you have to swim through pages of info that doesn't pertain to your search. I just don't get the expected results when using the search button. It's easier to create a new thread in some cases.

Thanks!!

I agree 100%. Well stated.

How about a lonely post section. I find myself looking for threads with no posts to see if I can help them. I have started some threads myself and didn't get a response and it kinda hurts a fellows feelings.

I posted this elsewhere, but here's a suggestion -

"I know that most of the questions have already been asked somewhere before, and sometimes the question has been asked one, two, or three pages in one thread. That I can scroll through. But, I mean, I've got a little kid, a hectic life, it's hard to scroll through HUNDREDS of pages to find the answer sometimes needed. In the FAQ's and References thread, it tells how the lapband works, but it doesn't answer questions like "How does it feel when I get stuck?", those kinds of questions that do get asked repeatedly. Now, if someone were to post really commonly asked questions in this section, I think a lot of the problem of the repetitiveness would be solved.

What about a section to discuss obesity counseling?...How to find a counselor, counselor recommendations, etc.? In the same vein, also adding a section for nutritionists; how to find a nutritionist, nutritionist recommendations, etc?

If y'all can fix the edit function, that would be great. I've never seen another Vbulletin site that inserts those dang smileys everywhere.

I'll admit to being a computer idiot! I've searched the LBT site trying to figure out how to insert one of the weight loss ticker thingies and can't figure it out.

I'm sure once you tell me, I'll realize how simple it was.

I had the procedure done in Toronto on Nov 29th and am into my 'pureed' phase and just found this forum...and am looking forward to doing lots of reading.

Claire,

One of the sites for making a ticker is Trying To Conceive Ticker

You could also click on a member's ticker and it will take you to their ticker and there you can click a thing that says "Create your own ticker" and make one that way. Good luck!

ignore the fact that the link says "trying to conceive" There are a bunch of different types of tickers on the main website and you can choose weight loss.

I think it would be nice to have a section with recipes in each stage of the post-op diet.

By the way, I love this forum.

Hi Alex - I'm new to the site, thanks for creating it! There is another forum (completely different subjects) that like you guys, used to use email to alert you when new posts came in, but now they have this really great link at the side of your screen that says "Participated Discussions" and when you click, you're taken to a page of the threads you've posted in, and the ones with new posts rise to the top... so you just come to the site and click there, no need for emails (unless you want them) -- it's really great.

      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.
