I'm guessing there was a corrupt database issue and we lost a couple day's worth of data. Not doing those transaction log backup, eh?

I saw there were several SQL Database errors leading up to the site's demise. That is too bad.

Read that twice and all I got was...wa wa wa wa site didnt work right...wa wa wa wa ...I'll help:)

You are sweet to offer help and I think it is great to have smarty pants around when things like this happen!

LOL! That is pretty much exactly what it said, too!

im just glad we are back up and running!! :Banane57:

Bummer..... I really was lookiing forward to hearing a response to my question, concerning guilt over the cost of being sleeved. I will have to concentrate and rewrite. The topic was $60 a lb. lol

I was wondering about that because I had 2 pm's that are gone from my inbox now, and I didn't even get a chance to respond to them. Rats!

I just couldn't believe it went down the day after my surgery! lol Bad timing! :pout:

YEA I LOST MY NEW TOPIC AND MY PICS!! SMH!!! GOTTA TRY TO GET THEM BACK UP NOW!!! SO SAD :blush2:

Yes, I was looking for lilmissdiva's basic diet and it's gone. Thankful I had printed it out 2 days ago.....LOL :Banane57:

DORRIE, if you could repost that i would be grateful!! :Angel_anim:

I'm hoping we hear from Alex. If they try a restore, then we will lose everything we posted today. There will come a point of diminishing returns on that, though.

From what I can tell thus far we had maybe 2 hours worth of data loss. Are any of you seeing more than that ? We have very good backups but restoring them is painfully slow. We have a new backup system in place as well as all new server cluster hardware, which caused the issue in the first place (we had a raid card and three drives go bad all at once.)

yes. i lost topics older than 2 hours an i lost the pics you posted for me alex. but now i am able to add pics on my own. so thats something i wasn't able to do before the crash!

We crashed about 3-4AM almost two days ago. Do you remember when or what time you posted ?

I'm hoping there will never be a next time!!! Thanks for the offer, it's greatly appreciated.

Here is lilmissdiva's basic boot camp:

I get lots of questions regarding how to get back on track. This journey is tough, and one thing I've learned is that I'm not perfect - but if I'm going to move past that I have to figure out how to forgive myself. For me, the main factor in my obesity was my inability to overcome this. So I would give up and gain all my weight back, and even more. I cannot do this to myself!!! I have to pick myself back up and keep it moving. I didn't go through 2 torturous painful weight loss surgeries to just keep giving up. Heck no!!!

So, along my Sleeve Journey, when I noticed I wasn't doing well and needed to get back on track this is what I did:

The BASICS BOOTCAMP:

For 5 STRICT DAYS I will eat only...

Proteins: Seafoods, Poultry and eggs, Dairies, nuts/seeds including Peanut Butter.

Veggies: Green only.

Fruits: None.

Breads/Cereals/Other Carbs: None.

Fluids: One gallon of Water (128 oz.) or Protein drinks.

Avoid: Sugar and Sodium

Once the 5 days are over, I am pretty much over the Sugar Carb Demon. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate carbs! I do need them to live a healthy life and since I workout a lot it is important I have them. However, I need GOOD carbs. Whole grains, fruits, veggies... But I don't need processed sugars. White carbs, in cereals, breads, rice... etc.

Lots will do the 5 day pouch test. http://www.5daypouchtest.com/ Great! To each their own. I personally do not do this. My first reason is because I don't have a pouch. I have a sleeve. The second reason is because for me, this has proven nothing but torture for me. I don't feel like I should have to do that. My personal program works just as good without that side effect. The only reasons I've ever done liquids only is simply from being threatened with my life (post op) or if I'm just feeling sick and to let my Sleevie rest. That's it.

Good luck everyone! This journey is tough, but nothing worth doing is ever easy. Xoxo
