the links in emails are still not working. Also everytime I use quick reply, it gives me an error message, sometimes it posts, other times it doesn't.

I'm still getting the 500 error when I click on some posts. Also, I'm not getting any notifications via email--either no one is posting on any of the 10 or so threads or the notification isn't working.

I agree that it would have been nice if there was an announcement made that changes were going to happen. It also would be nice to have an announcement in larger letters across the top of the home page that changes have been made and to PM Alex (I couldn't figure out who to email about this earlier today because there isn't anywhere here that says who the webmaster or admin is, so if you don't know-and I didn't-who to contact, you are in a pickle) about problems.

The teal is harder on my eyes that the blue was, but perhaps it will get easier as I get used to it.

I completely understand the cost of running websites, especially those that allow photo posting, DH owns a few. It gets quite pricey, bandwidth is not free. So I realize the need to place ads on the site now. That having been said, I'd be happy to pay something to be a "premium" or "gold" or "diamond" or "platinum" or "enhanced" (whatever name you'd like to call it) member to not have the ads show on my page and perhaps to be able to chose what color my forums show up in.

I am still unable to access through my email either. And to post, it says page is unavailable, then a few minutes later, I see my post actually did make it.

Is everyone fixed but me???? Surely it can't be ME----it has to be something else!!!!!!LOL

Also the little blue arrows don't work for me either---it says I am not connected to the internet....and I know I am!!! I have to actually click the thread title, and cruise through all the pages---I cannot go to first unread. Glitches not corrected yet in my little corner---sorry!

I would be interested in a "paid" membership as Faith mentioned before as well, especially if it simplified it for EVERYONE---meaning Alex as well as us!

I'm not able to access thru my email either, and I am not able to find the journals? Luckily, I have saved my link to my journal under my signature, however, many are asking about the journals and I can't seem to find it? There used to be a quick button to click on to it at the top of the page, but now it is gone.

I know the gliches are still be worked out, so I'm just trying to inform the moderators of whats going on, not complaining, just passing on what I see.

Thanks for your hard work in keeping this forum running smooth! We just love our LBT!

Nope, you're not alone. Earlier the only way I could view a thread was by clicking on it in my email box, now that isn't working.

And when I post this, I get a page not found error, too.

I'm still having troubles--when I click a link in my email (just my old ones--not getting any new ones since yesterday), I do get to LBT but not to the message or even the thread.

Is anyone else finding the new coloring difficult to read? Not enough contrast between the background and the text.

When I posted a message on this thread earlier I got an error message so I tried again, got another error message, so I used the back button and got a message that I was posting duplicate messages. I do see the message was posted and only posted once, though. But with the error message appearing, who's to know?

Changes are always hard to accomplish and adjust to! Good luck technicians and go luck LBT'ers!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
