Check out the number



Recommended Posts

Has everyone noticed how many members we have now? Over 1100! It's down near the bottom of the page on the right hand side. I've watched that number go up almost every day! Cool!

I see the high number but where are they all? I think there is probably only 10 of us actually writing anything. Lol.

You'd be very surprised.....

I've found that most people don't have the courage to sign up for membership. If they do, it's rare that they'll post. Usually they lurk ;) We don't allow spam signups, I go through most signups manually. Almost all members are legit.

In a few weeks I'm planning to run a little promo (giving away some ipods and an ipad 2) to encourage people to post etc. Should help us out a bit since we're brand smacking new.

Cool. Yeah, having more posters would make things more interesting and informative.

Thanks Alex! Good idea! It does seem kinda nuts that there're over 1100 members and only 1 % of them are posting! Bunch of lurkers....

Alex, I started a blog but couldn't post to it after the first session, so maybe someone could look at that. I really like the new iPad app but I can't figure put how to post without quoting someone (like I did here). I'm sure I could erase the quote but am I missing something? Linda

      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.
