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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
