I just added the app to my iPad to see if it would work better than the desktop site. You know, Alex, I still don't like bariatric in the title. Sounds geriatric and I am anything but. This one will not stay on my front page even though I do like the logo.

I'm finding that when I open a thread I am subscribed to, I may be on the last page, but I am seeing content from the first page. I have to click on page 1 and then can go back to the last page to see the newest content.

You should have seen the other names we came up with. My personal fave was Mobesity. We might change the app name to BP in the future.

Yup...it's on our list already.

Did the Obama care people set up the website :) JK? It is very buggy. The home screen locks up. It took me 4 tries to finally log on.

Same joke again???

This is happening to me too! I have my options set to jump to the last post, but it doesn't.

In "current threads" i'm really not enjoying seeing a mix of topics re different surgery types (and I assume some general topic threads that just happened to be live on one of the amalgamated forums. I feel like I've lost contact with my fave posters and it takes too long in the "current threads" to find things that interest me. Will we be able to customise the thread categories we get returned on "current threads"?

If you select a surgery type within your patient profile you'll default to that specific forum when you visit BariatricPal.com. When you click on New Content you should also only see new content based on the surgery you've selected in your profile. If you're pre-op you can set the forums you see in New Content as well. PM me if you need instructions. This option isn't avail be on our mobile apps - at this point. We most definitely plan on releasing this feature to our apps within the next few weeks. Please be patient, I'm positive we'll be able to make most of our members happy.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
