Time To Give Up On This Site?



Recommended Posts

I don't know what's happened but our RNY forum seems to have died since the changeover. Hardly any new content being added these days or replies being made. I'm wondering if many people have just given up. I think I might have to do the same as it's just a shadow of the great site it was before :-(

I'm trying hard to hang in there but you are right...so many aren't here anymore. It seems a lot more empty. I miss it

I was thinking the same thing today. When I look at new posts it is all for the other groups and hardly any for us.

I would hate to lose the support. I hope Alex gets things fixed quickly.

I know for me I never got any sort of notice the old App was going down ans this was new my RNY app didnt work for days so I deleted it and went to download it again and this was all I found...then when reading about the app I realized what they did. However! On all the pages I was involved in I can only see a few pages in then it says " Error page does not exisit" so I can't check read or respond to anything. Its super annoying. I get why they did this app together but they need to fix this. :/

I think deleting the app & reinstalling it may help. I had that prob also and now can see last pages. It's frustrating. I want everything to fall back in place and rny area to thrive again

I am still around, and read the post, and agree with all of you. Just don't care for this site as much as the other. Hanging in there though to see how it works. The one thing I don't care for, is once you log in, you can go out to the other sites and see what they are saying, which I really don't care what they say, but I can invision some arguements brewing. Just going to take a wait and see attitude.

I agree with everyone I miss RNY Talk ,here when I look up current threads I have to make sure they are Bariatric RNY so I stopped doing that and go to the RNY forum to make sure I am with my group! I understand it is all WL journey but if I have questions or concerns with my procedure then I want someone to reply that has had the RNY surgery. As I am sure someone that had VSG or lap band would be thinking why is she telling me how/ what to cope with this concern.

In the Internet world, forums are very near the top in terms of technical complexity. Transitions to new systems are usually painful but most problems can be resolved and I know Alex and his team are working diligently to do just that. It's encouraging to see some of the senior folks starting to appear here and there. I'm here for the long haul and am truly confident that things will be up to speed in the near future. We all know the importance of patience when it comes to the weight loss journey. I remind myself that the support and information provided by so many knowledgeable and caring folks is worth a little patience until they can get the kinks worked out.

      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.
