Did bariatric pal change the format of the forums today?

This is going to take some getting used to. Not liking it so far.

I had the same thought.. hopefully they won't keep it like this long...it's pretty bad.

I mean the old forums was an absolute diasaster to navigate, it had subs and subs and subs which diluted the whole thing. Don't know if this is optimal, but it could be an improvement

Yeah, I actually really liked the broken down categories.

I prefer the old broken down categories as well....not liking it this way, it's harder to find posting categories - it's too general imo.

Thanks for everyone's feedback! We've added back most of the missing categories over the last 24 hours. The ones that weren't added back didn't have a topic posted to them in a long time. We only kept forums that have active and ongoing discussions. The majority of our members are on Mobile. Having many sub-forums isn't considered user-friendly these days. We're going to update the website Monday night to further optimize things on desktop and mobile. You should notice some new, fun and useful features available after that point. Soon after that, we are going to release a brand new mobile app which should make posting and use of the forums MUCH easier!

Hi there! It appears that you have a pretty complete profile - were you able to figure this out or do you still need assistance? If you do still need help, please let me know what you're having an issue with and we'll get it sorted out.

Thanks and Happy New Year!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
