Susan, I don't mean to be a tattle tale, but why are SO MANY women posting in the Man Room? Is the request for us to refrain from posting there no longer in effect, or just not being honored?

My guess is that people might not know that something is posted in a specific gender area. I think most people read posts by looking at what's new in the RH side of posts, and you don't really see there what forum something has been posted in.

Yet here you are.

I have questions for you - are any of the men complaining about it? Then why is this so important to you? Why is this your business?

This and maybe we (men) value and enjoy womens' opinions so much that we don't mind you participating in our posts in the men's area.

Actually, we do have quite a few men and women complain to us about this. There is only one area of the entire forum that is restricted to woman only, and one area that is restricted to men only. This is so members may discuss gender specific issues with each other, without the fear of a member of the opposite sex coming in and embarrassing them, turning it into a joke (as we have seen happen quite often), etc. Therefore, we do ask that our members respect our rule that the powder Room is for woman only, and the Men's Room is for men only. We do our best to enforce this, but cannot be everywhere at once, and count on our members to let us know when other members are in violation of this.

The new app doesn't show which forum the post is in.

Wouldn't it make sense to make the sections invisible to the opposite sex? Until then, it's going to keep happening.

I bet I'm not the only one that will turn a blind eye to a woman commenting in the men's section.

Good luck.

We plan on putting this into play but it's going to be 2-3 months before it's actually in place. Until that time, we ask our members to try their best to follow our rules and guidelines when posting within these forums.

Sheesh, ever think of changing your name to "Don RUDE-olfo". I was just trying to clarify what the situation was (possibly a technical issue), since it seemed to me the expectation had been outlined pretty clearly in the room's description.

I don't belong in the Men's Room because I don't have a d**k. Same reason I won't engage in a pissing match with you. Thank you, Alex and Susan, for answering my question.

      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.
