What's going on with the updates? They are sporadic at best these days.. It seems to be hit or miss if someone replies to a thread I'm participating in to get an notification about it.

This is happening to others not just me.

Me too! Sometimes I don't get notified and miss out on responding back. Sometimes I can't get on the site because it won't load..(but other sites load fine) And other problems too. Maybe they're trying to tell us something ;)

I have noticed the same things.

This forum has one of the best scrips I have ever seen. I like the reply box functionality and the way the whole thing is laid out. The traffic here is huge.

The only beef I have is with the slow loading ads but I understand that profit must be made.

Glitches happen. Many lines of code go into putting this stuff up. I have faith that they will get the bugs out.

I've gotten used to the endless crashing and having to write an extremely long and thought out post again to something short and not as meaningful because the app crashes after I press send!

But the new glitch of missing notifications especially to threads that are important to me is beyond frustrating...

Oh and if you guys are replying to this? I wouldn't know, because I'm not receiving updates to this thread also O_o

Yep.. I didn't get notified. I just happened to check back. It's not the ads that load slow for me.. The entire site will sometimes take 5 or more minutes to load... And then everything pops up. It's not my pc because it's just this site. Oh well

One thing I've noticed is the site works for crap on Internet Explorer. If you have Chrome or Firefox, you'll be much better off!

Hi all,

We've made some changes to the notifications. Please read this topic - you can revert back to the old method (instructions in that post) if you choose :-)

We're rolling out a major update to the site within a few weeks. It should address the issues some of our members have with many slow loading ads as well as most of the other issues stated above. Stay tuned.....

Can we request that the new offline notifications mode be backwards compatible? That is, the default behavior is the old notifications behavior where updates are available immediately. Members then have an option to use the new offline behavior if they set preferences to do so. This is a good way to introduce functionality in software. It is not good to shock and awe user with new functionality that they did not ask for especially if it breaks existing workflows that they depend on.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
