I am still learning to navigate this site, only been truly active for a couple of months.....I haven't noticed a drop off, but then what do I know!? Are other WLS types posting here instead?

I was thinking the same thing. This site used to be hoppin with all of the posting but i very rarely get a notification of a new post anymore. I think i post less because the "recent posts" arent there anymore. Its harder to find topics. Kind makes me sad.

Maybe it is the holidays. I have noticed a lot of the peeps are not here, too!

I just found the "Recent Topics" on the right side of the screen...I am a little slow. LOL But it does help find new topics of conversation.

I think it's twofold. One holidays and life in general getting in the way. And two, the site changes have made it lackluster to come here daily. The nonexistent chat room, the new topics feature gone, the dynamic of having too many wls's and the fact that I don't see my friends here anymore make it unappealing.

Happy Holidays in case I don't see you again before year's end :)

To the banders who are having trouble just getting to the lapband site , you have to go to your settings or profile settings and scroll down to where it says what type of surgery put in Lapband and make sure it sticks save the change at the bottom , then it only brings up the lapband site hen you log in , it took a little while but Alex had posted and let us know and anytime I log on it goes straight to this site and not the other ones, now for chatting or blogging I guess you still have to go to community and click on one and hope it goes to the lapband blog or click on the chat if u want to chat but it does let you know who's on in the chat site on Lapband site , I hope this helped someone or anyone lol for us banders.

      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.
