Chat Room



Recommended Posts

A while back there used to be quite a few people frequenting the chat room to socialize or kill time at work. I went in there today and there wasn't a single person logged in. I was just wondering if anyone ever goes in there anymore? TGIF y'all :)

I didn't know it still existed. It used to show up in the bottom right corner of my computer screen and I could just pop in there whenever. It's not there anymore. How do you even get into it now?

I didn't know there was a chat room either! That's a really cool feature. I went in there about two hours ago and said hi but it echoed around the empty room, lol.

Folks used the chat rooms alot more when we were separated by our different WLS surgeries. Once we were all under the BP umbrella, the chat rooms sorta faded away. :(

When it first came back I tried to go in there several times but was alone by myself. LOL!

I tried several times going in but nobody was there so I'd wait around but nobody ever came in. lol I like the idea of the chat room! It gets boring here at work sometimes.

You have to put up a post "anyone want to chat"

Then minimize it and open another window and go around and read and post.

There used to be a door bell when someone else entered the chatrooom. Hopefully, there still is.

I used to put up posts every evening and people would come in and out of the chatroom.

I'll have to check in and see it.

I've never been in it.

Could make a time/day schedule to officially chat - then at least it wouldn't be just random wandering through. ;)

Yes, that's a good idea. I like to chat. We used to chat every evening starting around six, but with the time changes, that needs to be considered. 7:00 here is 10pm on the east coast.

If you want to chat, you have to put up a post, either anyone want to chat, as I previously posted, or a post that says Chatting starting at _______ time until

__________ time, then people can come in and out.

Another option is to pm people that you see posting regularly, and set up a time to chat that works for everyone. It's bad now that the chat room is hard to find.

Hey y'all I will be hanging out in the chat room this evening. Maybe we can revive it a little bit if anyone would like to join me :)

      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.
