Re: Last time I checked, this was the "Man Room"



Recommended Posts

Since not everyone can respond to the topic where it stands...

I'm guessing that most responses in the man/woman rooms are without noticing that the post was in a restricted area.

I admit I am one who only reads the title of the posts and never the category it's located in. So, please forgive us if we accidentally respond to something in the wrong room. Just a kind reminder is needed and I'm it's easy to delete.

I respond to posts all the time without looking to see where it's posted. I am trying to get better about that but when I joined this forum, the area on the right where the most recent posts are shown, wasn't there. Old habits are hard to break.

Ditto. I NEVER look at the room. I've wandered into some pretty "exciting" discussions not realizing it was between the guys. Between my app and the website design I never notice what forum anything is in unless I purposefully click on that forum.

I don't think I have posted in the mans room by accident or purposely but I could be wrong. I will say that I click into interesting sounding titles. I do not read the section its posted in. I actually can't read the font that small so wouldn't if I wanted to. I don't really think I should have to though.

This is the only forum I have ever been involved in where we are permitted to read a headline and click into it, read the subject and respond to it and then be " in trouble" for doing it. What gives? Seriously, it should either be opened to all or invisible to those that are not to participate. If that's coming later the rules really should be lifted off of it until its set up JMO.

I think I accidentally just liked a post in the Man's room... OOPSS..Oh well... I don't really pay attention to where something is posted... Usually if the title of the Thread Interests me I read it, if I like it, I hit the like button sometimes, if I have something I feel is meaningful to add I comment... If not I move along, sometimes I follow it if it is really interesting... Hmmm... I guess I will start paying more attention!

Just so it is recorded in the thread, I will remind all that it was a few women who complained about men posting in the powder Room that prompted the rule.

If the rule is to stand, then check the profile for the gender and enforce the rule. Surely that option is available and if not, this would be quite an easy programming fix.

Yup, yup, yup, I often just click on something from "recent topics" and sometimes don't notice what sub-forum it's in.

There are quite a few nongender posters that could get away with responding on both. Nothing states that we have to specify gender or post a profile pic.

Heh.. I'm pretty sure my comments would give me away though ;)

But at the same time ignorance should not be counted as a reason to disregard the rules of the forum itself. Just my own personal opinion of course.

For the record, I think it is a useless rule and I hardly visit either of those forums anymore, they were alot mroe entertaining when "cross posting" was allowed.

Just so it is recorded in the thread, I will remind all that it was a few women who complained about men posting in the powder Room that prompted the rule.

If the rule is to stand, then check the profile for the gender and enforce the rule. Surely that option is available and if not, this would be quite an easy programming fix.

      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.
