This is NOT FAIR! I was unable to log in for two days and ya'll have been writing novellas, apparently (channeling your inner Cheri, perhaps?) and now I have PAGES to read.

Boo.

Now I need to catch up. Before that, just wanted to do a happy dance and say I weighed in at 141 (and change) two days in a row.

That's the window. :) From here on out, it's gravy. I'm going for six more to start and we'll reassess from there.

Never mind, that wasn't bad at all!

Congrats, Laura! Making it do a new "decade" is awesome. :)

So glad most everyone made it back to the group. I swear we were on the 90s before...I guess less posts show in a page now? I was like, holy smokes, they all wrote a dozen pages each!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend,

~Cheri

It is sorta funny how the "glitches" to this conversion has been kinda... disorienting. I found myself very annoyed that my ticker disappeared, and that so many people were having trouble posting so I wasn't hearing from any of "my peeps", I didn't like being labeled as lapband - since I HATED the lapband and still hold a little grudge...lol, I find that navigating this site is fine from my laptop but a nightmare from my kindle and phone. ugg... I guess i am pretty addicted to reading updates from my friends!

So, I am feeling a little better. I have been getting out and doing social things which makes me feel better. I am still dressing to hide that last drain, but it made me feel good when I saw my good friend tonight and she could see that my waist is narrower even though i had all these layers on hiding the drain. I showed her my arm scars and she was wowed - they aren't even red and it hasn't even been a month yet. Sometimes it is good to hear these things from someone else. Maybe this has been worth it... jury is still out, :)

Good Grief! Thank you to whoever made that bookmark link. I have not been able to get in for days! I've been going through withdrawl! I know Alex will get everything straightened out, but in the mean time, it's going to be frustrating.

The good news is I am 3 lbs away from goal. 138. I still can't believe I've lost my regain. I look and feel so much better.

Laura! A new low for you too! I am so excited for all of us that 5:2 is working for.

I've gone on 2 online dates, both duds. I think I am going on a hike with one of them tomorrow. It's just because I don't like to go alone. I haven't been able to go out on my favorite trail all summer bc I had nobody to go with me.

I'm so glad you're feeling good Jane and your scars sound like they aren't going to be bad at all. It must feel really good to get out.

I am going to try to catch up on all I've missed bc I could not get in here. Alex finally fixed it.

Well I have no idea what the eff anybody may have said in the last 3 days, because with this new format, my government computer thinks this site should be blocked half the time and I get the big no-no "BLOCKED BY CENTCOM EAST" message. Oh yeah and all of my active PM threads are blank .... so OD if you wrote me, Coops, I got nothin'. Why the HELL did they have to go and do this?!!! Also with that effing enormous BARIATRIC PALS banner on the home page, it is NSFW, I don't feel like having everybody effing know that I had BARIATRIC SURGERY. geez. this sux.

this is going to take a while to get used to for sure!

I haven't been able to log on either ... nightmare. I agree with you all when you said that there was a feeling of panic thinking that I had lost contact with you!

Okay FYE...where is my blankie and protien hot chocolate? THANK GOD YOU POSTED A LINK in the Vet's forum or I would have never found this place again. Couldn't log in for several days and I *see* that I have missed a BUNCH! Aaargh! Will try to go back and read as time allows.

I find it interesting that I used to have like 2,000 posts when it was the old VST and now I have like over 6,000? Everyone else seems to have bumped up by the thousands! Has anyone seen or heard that being addressed? Not that I care I just wonder if somone went around adding posts by the thousands to everyone. Gah! Plus I see that I'm still listed as LAP-BAND...really? Never had one never will!

it's going to take time before I'm happy here again (girl doesn't like change...grrrrr!)

OKAY, taking a DEEP BREATH here, sooooo, the OLD vst had us at like 89 or 90 pages, I came on here after not being able to log on for several days to find that there was 125 pages and I was like WHAT? The translators must have goofed up the page numbering along with all of our post numbering etc.

Going to go see if I can figure out how to change the lap-band to sleeve under my profile...

Oh also wondering...can ANYONE post here now? I'm thinking so...

They combinded everything from lap band talk. so if yu had a lap band talk acccount first, your posts will be higher.

 

 

I am able to get here by going through community, and then social groups are listed and 5:2 at right at the top,.

OK, to get the lapband designation changed, go to myprofile, edit my profile, then to patient data, then check surgery type from the pull down menu, then save changes. That should do it.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
