Who else can't see any new posts when you click on View New Content? If View New Content doesn't work for you, how are you browsing this site?

Is anyone else having issues with 'New Content'? Today, when I click on View New Content I get a message that says "No new content to display". And usually, there are only 4-5 new posts for the WHOLE DAY (when actually there are 100s of new posts...I get so tired of reading the same 5 posts for an ENTIRE DAY!)

Onederland finally!! So happy and grateful to finally be here!

well they arent blood siblings (the white and orange one was found all by himself :-( He was dirty and covered in burrs...how anyone couldve thrown him out, i dont know...hes the most affectionate loving kitty) but we adopted them together and so they are like siblings. They do really love each other. Were so lucky we have them in our lives

Hi Dune! Thanks for your message:) yes some people on here are snippy and judgmental. I left this site for 3/4s of year because I was gaining weight at lbt always reminded me of the fact that I wasn't doing what I should be so I avoided it. Now that I'm back, the snippiness seems to have gotten worse. Oh well. Please feel free to send me a private message! I'd love to support you anyway I can and thanks for the compliments on the kitties. They are like our children - can't imagine life without those little babies

Aw hey thanks! That made me happy I noticed also that there are a lot of grumpy ladies on here! I feel like there are more of them than there used to be. But your comment made me happy, so thanks!!

Hi Wren Glad to be friends on here!

Hi! We were banded a few months apart. We seem to be on a similar track. We've been posting in the same threads, so just wanted to say hi

Great to talk to you tonite! Keep coming back to LBT Congrats on your amazing weight loss!

Hi I don't know if you log on here anymore but I was wondering what you thought of your doctor? I'm already banded but I just moved to MI and am looking for someone for follow up care. Thanks!

Hey how are you doing? Long time no talk! I hope you are great

Hi! I got your message! I am sending you a private message in answer to your questions!

Hey I'm glad you got my friend request! We should chat/message more so we can support one another...especially since we are going through similar things! Hope to talk to you soon

Hey, I saw a post you made, and saw your weight loss and I'm in awe!! WOW! You seriously look amazing. I hope to be as successful as you. Your before and after pictures almost made me cry - you look so happy and beautiful!!

I started at 286 and my goal is 130. I'm at 208 now - I was banded in June. I feel good about my weightloss (75 pounds in about 5 months). I'm really hoping that next 75 pounds comes off just as fast. How tall are you (I'm 5'3)? Do you have issues with excess skin?

Thanks and congrats! Hope to be where you are sometime in the future.

Hi! I friended you. We were banded around the same time. You have lost so much weight! Is that all from being banded or did you do a 6 month diet beforehand? Anyways, congrats on your awesome progress! I'm hoping to make into onederland by thanksgiving!

Hi! I sent you a friend request. I was banded this past June. I have lost around 67 pounds since my pre-op diet at the beginning of June. I really like seeing people who have been so incredibly successful with the band. Its very encouraging. I'm hoping to be where you are, this time next year. Congrats on all of your success!

Hi! We are about the same height and started at the same weight also! I was just banded in June and I will be so excited when I get below 200! Anyways, just wanted to send you a friend request and tell you congrats on your weight loss!

Hi Cherri! We were banded around the same time (1 day apart)! Your loss has been awesome! I've been stuck (and actually gained 2 pounds) for over 2 weeks now (almost 3!). Trying not to get frustrated. Going for my 3rd fill next week - I hope something isn't wrong (band slip or pouch stretched or something). Good luck with your journey!

Hi - I friended you after reading your post that you wrote after seeing the doctor for the first time. I see you're almost down 100 pounds and it looks like you just had your surgery. I'm glad that you decided to do this and I am sure, with your great attitude, that you will do so well!! Did everything go okay with your surgery? Hoping very good things for you!

Hey thanks for the encouraging words! I've been flip flopping between 224 and 228 for the past 5 days now and I'm getting so frustrated. Frustrated because I just came off of a 5 day liquid diet (my doc does 3 days clear liquids, 2 days full liquids, following a fill) and lost a lot, but have put at least 3 back on now that I'm back on solid foods (this morning I was at about 228 even). And I still don't feel like I have such great restriction. Anyways, any advice that you have, I'd love to hear!! I really want to be a fast loser lol.

hey willow! how are things going for you??

Hi! I sent you a friend request. We were banded by the surgeon. Hope everything is going well for you!

Hey Corliss! thanks for the message! I am doing okay. My grandfather is very ill and I haven't been online much. Just trying to spend time with him. I'm going for my second fill on Aug 25th which is good because I really don't have much restriction at all. I'm almost at the 50 pounds marker! That will be 1/3 of my excess weight lost! Can't wait for the next 50. How are you doing??

Hi. I wanted to friend you. I saw your before and after pics on the 'before and after' thread and you look great! Also, we have really similar body types and Im also 5'2. Started around 280 as well (lost 20 preop and 10 postop...Im 12 days since surgery). I hope I can look as good as you soon!

I friended you. I like the posts that you write. I think you are very insightful. Also you look amazing! Can you put some before and after pictures up? I was just banded 12 days ago. Ive lost 9-10 pounds since surgery (plus 20 preop) but for the past 4-5 days I haven't lost anything and its getting me down. Anyways, I think you're awesome! I hope I can wear a bikini someday!
