What is happening to our ‘likes’? I am losing mine!!



Recommended Posts

Hi @Alex Brecher

Any idea what is happening to our ‘likes’? You were looking into why we are sometimes getting a refusal to let us like posts.

But there is more! - as well as people commenting ‘I can’t like your post but I do like it’, I see that 9 people liked my post yesterday, three liked others this morning - but my ‘like total’ is 20 or 30 down on where it was!! I am LOSING my treasured likes! Oh no! And I think @FluffyChix’likes’ total is declining too! (I don’t remember any other person’s totals)

I love using the wee button to acknowledge posts that help me. And I treasure getting likes, seeing the tally rise - because to me they mean I am making contributions someone appreciates. I was stoked when my ‘likes’ were nearly 50 more than my post total. My daily like score has become second in importance to my daily weight score in this journey! So losing them? Well, imagine if you will that the software here is packing my pounds back on and you sorta get the drift of the feeling!!!😁

Any closer to understanding why?

Thanks, boss...

I've found that if I hit "like"...even if the box comes up saying there's a problem...if you refresh the page, the like will show up.

It's recording likes but there's definitely a bug. We are still working on fixing this issue!

Hi Alex

I had four hundred and twenty something likes last week. Have had at least 15-20 since then but my tally now is 416. Someone liked my post above - but my tally showing on the website is still 416 which it was an hour ago. So something isn’t recording!! It is declining!!

Gosh I'm so glad you brought this up. I didn't realize mine were going down as well. But someone pm'd me last night about the same thing asking if I knew anything.

I hope you guys get it fixed. I do really love hitting the like button and am a frequent flyer - er - I mean liker. :) Cuz you know, it's nice to be nice to the nice! :lol::D

Ok, off to the ball game! ((hugs))

Two more likes for this post above in the last 1/2 hour - but there I am on 416 still should be around 450 by now...

I am in a stall week. This is all I have to count *rueful grin*

While debugging that please consider restoring the. ability to edit up to 2 hours the "alpha" form had it, the "beta" form does not. My rotten SpellCorrect(see it's doing it again) on my android smartphone transmogrifies meanings or spelling. I am certain other posters think I am stupid or dyslexic. Neither one, but without an editing feature I come up with Phraseology I did not intend. And it really gets mystified when I use British or Australian English terms. I was posting to Taos about something she would understand with her country's zoology, just gave up and let it go through. Trust she read between the linens cause it didn't make sense. With edit-check I'm sure I could correct it. And BiddyNZ,proudgranny, and Fluffy Chix, nobody "likes" me yet and I'm sure they really do.👸😖

I feel silly because this has been a concern of mine also. Glad to see that I am not the only one.

Hi @Alex Brecher - 6 or 7 more likes since I posted - but my total has risen only by the one I gave myself!! But I, for one, seem to have stopped getting the “you can’t like this post’ notice.

@FluffyChix likes total is on the rise - is it only me?? You trying to get rid of me?.😁

Well guys and gals..I think you'll be happy to know that as of yesterday around 2PM PDT this issue was resolved. We're still keeping a close eye on it, but we believe that it's 100% fixed.

Except I have lost about 40 likes, and still don’t seem to be gaining?? Is this true of everyone, our likes came off our total instead of adding?

Thanks for your hard work - I am liking liking posts again!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
