I just added the app to my iPad to see if it would work better than the desktop site. You know, Alex, I still don't like bariatric in the title. Sounds geriatric and I am anything but. This one will not stay on my front page even though I do like the logo.

I'm finding that when I open a thread I am subscribed to, I may be on the last page, but I am seeing content from the first page. I have to click on page 1 and then can go back to the last page to see the newest content.

You should have seen the other names we came up with. My personal fave was Mobesity. We might change the app name to BP in the future.

Yup...it's on our list already.

Did the Obama care people set up the website :) JK? It is very buggy. The home screen locks up. It took me 4 tries to finally log on.

Same joke again???

This is happening to me too! I have my options set to jump to the last post, but it doesn't.

In "current threads" i'm really not enjoying seeing a mix of topics re different surgery types (and I assume some general topic threads that just happened to be live on one of the amalgamated forums. I feel like I've lost contact with my fave posters and it takes too long in the "current threads" to find things that interest me. Will we be able to customise the thread categories we get returned on "current threads"?

If you select a surgery type within your patient profile you'll default to that specific forum when you visit BariatricPal.com. When you click on New Content you should also only see new content based on the surgery you've selected in your profile. If you're pre-op you can set the forums you see in New Content as well. PM me if you need instructions. This option isn't avail be on our mobile apps - at this point. We most definitely plan on releasing this feature to our apps within the next few weeks. Please be patient, I'm positive we'll be able to make most of our members happy.

      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.
