Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

No one chats on here



Recommended Posts

What's up with that? Why don't we use the chat room? Schedule a date and time we can all really chat with one another...

Every time I go in there, no one is there or someone is just leaving as I enter. Is it bad B.O.? Heh..:heh:

hey I said that months ago - or was that just last week? lol....yep - apparently when someone WAS in there it appears they are still there - so when we get there it looks like they are leaving......

ok now that everyone is confused - I agree - we should set up specific times so we KNOW someone is there to talk to ??????

It confuses me how so many people seem to want to chat, yet whenever I go into the room, no one is there and no one ever sets a date and time to chat. Couldn't we just have regularly scheduled chats? Like for example, every Monday at 8:00pm Eastern or something like that???

I recommend -- let's leave our chat room box OPEN -- go on and read threads, etc but check once in a while to see if someone is in there - when I first came here - if I hadn't been persistent I might not have stayed - and gotten to meet such great people who are truly my friends in this weight-loss battle........let's try to do better for the next newbie eh?

I don't preach - I'm not rude - but hey - suggestion: when someone NEW or ready to be BANDED comes to visit the chat room -- let's continue our fun/silly conversations....but let's also help them...I am NOT banded so I try to recommend people they might want to Private Message - or suggest a THREAD or a particular POST....we were ALL new once....let's show newbies how friendly we really are! I know there are 'groups' of people who have known one another for a long time and sometimes forget how it feels to be the new person on LBT but I think we can all manage to share with a new person and listen to their questions and concerns. I've met an awesome group of people on here - successful - with and without the band - let's share our experiences with others too!

Can we also ask: Can the FlashChat be fixed so that it FLASHES when someone has typed something? or at least when a NEW member has entered? since it minimizes while we do other things on LBT we don't know if someone else is in there...........

      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.
