Topic: RE: surgery yesterday
Came home today... been sticking to the same things that got me through while in the hospital. I walked home from the local pharm, about 4 blocks. Came back home and continue to sip. After dinner was finished for the rest of the family and i continued to sip we went for another short walk, aprox 4 more blocks... now its a little after 6 pm and im ready for a nap/bed!
Its still very tender to take the deep breathes but even thats geting slowly but surley better. Repositioning once im some what reclined in bed isnt pleasent either. I took tylenol earlier today, saving the stronger pain meds for bedtime (i dont want to be loopy during the day if pain is tollerable).

Topic: Announcing Forum Upgrades!

Its been over six years since we've launched our forums. During this time it has seen thousands of fresh faces, greetings, meetings, partings, arguments, kind words, life transformations, cathartic rants, and simply happy time pass. It has been with us throughout this time, silently observing and facilitating. But like any wise old man, its bones were getting old. Its joints were aching, and it has been needing a new jolt of energy.

A Mobile World
Did you know that over 30% of you visit our website using a mobile device? For those who do visit us via mobile, we owe you a sincere apology, because our forums have been horrendous on a mobile browser. But the big news is that things are about to change! Our new forums are completely mobile friendly and compatible with iPhone, Android, and pretty much any other modern smart phone.

Each post, topic, and forum shows up beautifully, with the full set of features, and in nice large font. See the screenshots for yourself.

You dont have do anything different, just browse to the forums like you normally would. This means that you can finally put these away:



Not Just for Mobile
The interface on your desktop browser has also been cleaned up a great deal. There is now less clutter on the page, and the overall experience is a lot cleaner. Check out some more screenshots here!



You will notice that each post no longer has 400 buttons below it. Only the buttons that are relevant to each post show up, making your screen space a lot less cluttered. Also, when you reply to another person's post, the entire post is indented inside, making it a lot easier to figure out who has replied to whom.

Launching soon! Maybe as early as next week! Maybe.
And do remember that this is not in any way a be-all-end-all when it comes to the forums. We are in the process of constantly learning and improving upon what we have, and this is just one step along the way.

Stay tuned for the changes! We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

Good to hear!!  I'm glad everything (save the recovery situation!) went well!!  You're doing an AWESOME job on the walking!  I was lucky to make it down the hall once before dry heaving.  Not good times.  but you...you've got it down pat! 

Keep up the awesome work and keep us posted!! 

Sarah :)

I understand, as I am two weeks from my surgery date.  I felt time going by slowly at first, but now it is speeding by.  Good luck to you and be sure to let us know how you are doing.

Topic: surgery yesterday
I had my lap gastric bypass yesterday morning. It has actually gone a lot smoother than i thought i was going to. I got stuck in recovery till 9pm last night waiting for a room but as of yet (knock on wood) i havent had any issues. I was npo till this morning when i was started on clear liquids 2oz an hr. I was up walking through the night and made it up to 5 laps earlier today. Ive spent all my time resting walking and sipping. Everything tires me out but i wasnt expecting it not to. And im laying on my left side now. Pain has been bearable, hanging around a 4/10. Im still hooked up to the iv painmeds but should becswitching to lortab this evening.
