2014 Wrap-Up…and How You Can Help BariatricPal in 2015!



Recommended Posts

I think a personal log would be great, maybe with predefined cells, as we update our weight, it could calculate our BMI, and keep a history, maybe even run reports. For now I double enter, here and at My Fitness Pal, I use MFP to run these reports. You could even allow sharing of reports - when I was first visiting MBP I always looked for those posters who had their weight history in their posts, so I could see how they did, it was very encouraging.

I'd love to be able to import my own background picture for the ticker.

Could we pin frequently asked topics Like there's always several different "what do I need to take to the hospital" post. Why not take the most active on and pin it to the top of page with a "Hot" sticker? That ways anyone looking has a wealth of information already posted.Te same thing could be done for topics like "how many weeks off do I need?".

Thank you for all your efforts. I think making access to profiles or stats via mobile devices would be very useful. So many people access via their phones and they can't tell the "stats" of other members in any way.

I also found that the private message boards were just too hard for many to navigate. I tried to set one up to talk about dating life as a single woman and none of the members could ever work out how to access it - again, mostly from their phones.

Oh yes...that's right Alex. You mentioned an area for us to discuss dating based on the interest level when I posted a while back about this topic. How is that going?

I think on the app (for android at least) to be able to find your "groups" a little easier. Currently, I need to go through my email and follow the link. This gets frustrating at times.

      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.
