  1. 1. Do you want the adds that appear in the middle of the posts to be removed?

I just want to voice my discontentment with these adds that appear in the middle of our messages/posts. They are sooooo inapropriate. They are not even related to VSG but to other weight loss procedures that most of us know will not work.

Vote and voice your opinion.

Thanks

I thought it was just me - LOL. The page is pretty much filled with advertisements and since they've seemed to run out of space they started placing them smack-dab in the middle of our posts/replies. It is a bit distracting.

I agree, they are annoying. But if they weren't there these message boards wouldn't be free. Something has to pay to keep these boards up and running. So I'll put up with the ads, if it means having a great board like this to go.

Wishes - What is "AdBlock" and how do we do it?"

Thanks!

I'm fed up with them as well. The mobile site on iPad used to not show the ads that have always shown up on the right side of the regular web site version, but the new ads that are in the posts are showing up even on the iPad. Very frustrating when you are using a datacard to now have to use my data usage to pull down images of ads that I don't want in the first place. I honestly think I would rather pay a few dollars a month to be on the boards just to not put up with the ads. At least they could give us the option.

I hate them too and one reason I'm not on here as much as I use to be. It's hard to keep focused on what I'm reading with something flashing all around me.

      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.
