I Really Hate Those Interdry Ads!



Recommended Posts

I know how the forum works with advertisement that make it available for us free of charge BUT I REALLY hate those INTERDRY ads, they are, well, GROSS! I know it's a problem for some people but seeing that illustration of that bib like thing tucked into that red nasty ulcerated pendulous stomach just makes me want to barf.

I have not and WILL NOT click on those ads. I'd rather be poked in the eye with a sharp stick.

Thought the same think, Rootman.

I must admit though, this ad is much more distracting. That elbow is a subliminal along with the open jeans. :o:D

They gotta make bucks, though, I don't begrudge them that. This forum has meant a great deal to many people.

Yeah I've run adblock stuff before but I also realize that sites like this have to have SOME sort of funding, we just can't TAKE and not GIVE something - even if it's simply being subjected to ads.

As much as I don't like them I know the guys running this site are not getting rich and deserve whatever income they can derive on a free to sue site.

I just wanted to vent and rant and hopefully the advertiser will realize they are alienating the very people they are hoping to contact with their nasty ads. They won't know unless they get feedback - and hopefully this will somehow come to their attention - at least without me clicking on the pic of that nasty belly.

I don't run adblock because I am fascinated at how the ads pick up on the very thing I've been searching for on the web. Obviously someone is monitoring my searches and the ads show up accordingly.

Oh, yeah, I don't mean I've been searching for belly pads. Really,... I haven't. <_<

Yuck! I've never seen the ad you're describing but it sounds offensive!

I see ads for weird video games and rock bands.

It seems so strange to me to hear you talk about ads, I am really glad I see no ads on here. I know it would really annoy me. I don't even know where they would go. My whole screen is filled up with vertical sleeve talk.

I am so glad I use firefox!

      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.
