Taking Suggestions for NEW LBT Features!



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I guess I have to be the curious one. This thread was started back in April, with what looked to be some very exciting changes coming to LBT. Many members have also listed some great suggestions. When might we be seeing some of the changes?

Just curious.

Mandy ~ Here's a screen shot I took of the spell check in the advanced screen. It's just above the Smilies. Do you see it on your screen? If not, I'm wondering if it says something about downloading the most recent version.:)

Susan ~ Off the top of my head, I know that they did bring back the delete button and also added an exercise thread.

I also would like to see a newbie section, but i really would love to have the chat fixed, I emailed Wheetsin(thank you) and she passed it along and nobody got back to me after that. :cool: The chat seems to be an issue for quite a few people, I'm surprised that they have not posted.

Also, wouldn't it be great to be able to send an Instant message to someone from the buddy list page? Just like you can do in the chat room. yes, i know we have aim and others but i'd rather just click on my buddy list on lbt instead of loading AIM and having all my other buddies wanting to chat.

Some more suggestions:

I like to copy my journal and store it on my hard disk in MS Word or Publisher files. Currently you can copy and paste text from each entry, but this is a pain if you have lots in your journal to export at once.

An export feature for journals pages so that the whole journal can be copied out of LBT would be useful. It would need to be a secure feature so that only the account owner can export their own personal journal pages. It would also need to include relevant time & date stamps for each journal entry etc.

A forum area for long-term bandits would be great encouragement for all of us - eg. that has sticky threads for "One Year Out", "Two Years Out", "Lifer's Lifestyle", "Plastic Surgery 5 years on" etc etc

Seems I killed the thread last time...

Anyway, now things around LBT have calmed down, here's another suggestion. Can we clean up the before & after picture threads, running weight loss totals etc to reduce their size and return them to their original intent - eg. only before & after pics in the thread, as per the statement made at the start of at least one of these threads?

If the thread starter has left / been banned - can we start fresh and transfer the pics / lists over to new threads?

These threads are great inspiration, and most LBTers don't mind reading recent feedback and applause - the successful posters deserve their kudos, but it is so time consuming to sift through the old stuff when all you really need is a shot of inspiration.

Loving the calmer LBT.com!

Newbie section is great idea...that way all the repeated questions that end up in all forums could be in one place. It took me a while to figure out searches. It would be good for newbies.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but I'd love to see a daily food journal that would keep track of our calories and %protein, carb & fat, etc. I've been using FitDay and it works great but that's just another place I have to visit... I'm lazy!

Also, maybe place all the polls in one area. Maybe duplicate just the poll in poll section with a link to the actual thread? The polls are fun to read and provide a LOT of good information.

No new suggestions here...

I just wanted to say I was excited to come back on after being off for a few hours and see the layout has been rearranged a bit. I think it was a great idea putting all the important information for our new members at the very top of the forum. Awesome idea!!!

Woo Hoo for our Mods!!!!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
