It appears that you can only edit posts it in a short window of time after creating them.
If you are in the app on an Android at the top near a checked circle are three vertical dots which this a menu bar.
I can't figure out how to delete anything yet.

Thank you, Tealael and Alex. Alex, would it be possible to remove the two hour time limit for editing posts? I was in a bad mood yesterday and I was running my mouth. I'd like to remove some of the things I said.

I'm sorry but this isn't possible. You can apologize to anyone you may have offended. People are very understanding about having a bad day.

Why isn't this possible. Thousands of other message boards let you edit or delete for an indefinite period of time. I fail to see the logic in limiting it to a specific window of time.

Do you think there will ever be the option to delete a post within a thread? Or the creator of the thread being able to delete the whole thing?

This stems back to the big dust up a while ago. People were stirring up trouble, getting tons of reactions, then editing their posts to make themselves look like the victims. If the posts weren't quoted, then the original text was gone.

A few ruin it for the rest of us. Oh well, it makes sense that you can't delete or edit after 2 hours. It holds you accountable to not say something that you may not like the next day.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
