Not Liking The Changes



Recommended Posts

VerticalSleeve talked worked well. This new format sucks. I missed reading and posting but I hate that I can't see new content. Is that feature going to come back? It is time consuming to go to each folder and see what is new.

I agree - this new website configuration is not enjoyable. I usually manage to get over my irritation at big website overhauls in about a week, but the new format here is not good. Having to click all over the different topic headings to find where the people I follow most are participating is really not fun. And everything is so mixed together, it's confusing.

I just hope they get it together soon and fix this stuff up a bit more - it's ruined the site for me at this point. Oh and the constant flashing outside ads? Completely annoying.

Also, I would have gladly paid a monthly fee to keep VST how it was (without the extra new ads, etc), instead of this mess. I know not everyone would pay but I really liked the old site and really wish it was still the same. Not sure how much longer I'm going to stick around now.

You were filtering the forums and only had a few forums selected. I reset your filter and you should be good to go. You can do this yourself by playing around with the settings on the right hand sidebar once you click on New Content.

Alex - I like that you are pro active. I hope the site improves.

Thank you...it will! Most issues members have been experiencing will be quashed within the next few days. Change isn't easy and it's understandably disorienting for some. We really appreciate everyones patience.

I wonder how many others don't know about the filters. I didn't know I could drill down to specific forums. I just saw the check box options. I am seeing more content now that I went in and selected all lapband forums.

Once the dust settles down and everything is working 100%, we plan on sending an email to all members with a simple tutorial which will explain all the new features added to the site. At the moment we automatically filter your New Content to display only the forums based on the surgery selected in a members patient profile.

      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.
