It's just like Facebook. Every time they make a change, everyone whines, complains and hates it. But then, after they get used to the change life is good again. Things will get better guys, Alex did not do this to make everyone miserable. Managing four websites at once was a huge chore. Now, with everything combined on one site, they will have more time to enable more features everyone has been asking for. You just have to be patient and give the team time to work through everything. Positive feedback and suggestions are helpful to them. General complaining without offering specific reasons why and suggestions are not. Can't we all just get along? LOL

We are complaining because there is little action on the forum. Not much the team can do about that.

I have been trying to figure out why...it seems the bugs are fixed but there is little action and it is like we can't find each other.

On VST the new posts for all forums were listed on right and the newest post was listed under each forum,right? I think that drew me in. Now I come right to the VSG forums but don't seem to be drawn in except to threads I already posted to. I know about the new content tab I am just saying the new format doesn't draw me to new threads or explore forums.

You should mention this to Alex, and any suggestions you have that might help. He is very, very open to suggestions.

The bugs on the website may be mostly fixed....but the mobile app still needs some work. I know Alex is aware of the problems so no point in rehashing them. But the question is when?

Why start a new one when the "Enabling" thread pretty much runs the gamut! Lol.

Bahahaha !!! I've just kinda zoned out since we just seem to be ranting and raving on every thread subscribed to. :). Doesn't matter what the original topic, it all goes south from there. Think everyone is just kinda in limbo right now.

I second the miss the latest topic under the sub forum. I have to dig to see content and I don't like it. I'm lazy. So I mostly post to threads I've already written in, check the vets forum and at least once a day I look at new content. Even the new content is not as great for me because there is lots of Lapland and RNY specific posts included. Lynda

I want the entire right column of VSG to be recent VSG comments. I don't care about status updates (if I want that I'll go looking for it) or posts that no one has replied to.(they show in recent comments for their allotted time. If the op wants to bump it they can do it and it shows in recent comments again)

There.. I said my rant

Oh.. And trending topics are technically not trendy if they're so old. So, again if they're actually trending or trendy or whatever they will appear in the recent comments :D

      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.
