I only access BP from my iPad and since the last update, all of a sudden, there are ads everywhere. Too, too many. I don't mind a few and they should be obviously marked so easily passed by as none hold any interest for me. Can you find a happy balance? Must they appear in EVERY thread? At one time I used a great Water tracking app and then they made it burdensome to use with too many ads, so I deleted it and track my water in my LoseIt app. I've found myself spending less time with BP since the app was updated and it will be even less if overwhelmed with ads in every thread.

I don't think we made drastic changes to ads as of late. You can always subscribe to a VIP membership account at $4 per month for a close to ad-free experience :D

I do appreciate your feedback! We are looking at ways to minimize ads one way or the other. There's a new site being rolled out within the next 90 days which should make BP a lot more pleasant to use and view, on all devices.

My iPad app shows the topics on the left and responses on the right. The day I wrote about this issue, ads were appearing on both sides and appearing mixed in with topics and responses. Now they're gone. Odd.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
