Liking original post



Recommended Posts

I have a question for all posters and participants, when someone posts and you participate or respond to it do you "like" the original post or not? Does anyone know if it affects community ratings or if the topic trends?

I usually do because on some level it usually does do,mevsome benefit. And later if something strange happens I can say to myself " Hmm Tealael posted about that, she made her way through and I just bet I can too!" So as a routine if it helped me in any way I award it a Like Emoji. And a few times it has prompted me to start a thread on something in this journey I have questions about or Something that made sense to me that I think might help others.

I do. If I read the post and like it I push the little heart icon. If someone responds to a posters question and I like or agree with what they have said I push the heart. If I really love what they said, or I think they have the best answer to a question I push the trophy icon.

I don’t use the confused icon. I use the laughing one if something is really funny.

I think you get points in the store for the hearts and stuff, but I’m not for certain.

I'm trying to figure out how things are filtered up to trending, why I see the same types of post even though I don't search for them or participate in them and mostly if its just bad manners to neglect to acknowledge the OPs efforts.

I think it’s the number of responses/recent responses that sends a post to trending, not the number of likes. I’m not for certain though. I’ve never thought about it. :blink:

I wondered about this, too.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
