gain goal regain How was your 5:2 day today?

[clk 3,519]

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.

[coops 1,790]

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!

[Ms skinniness 3,003]

Happy Sunday everybody.......It's good to read the rerplies and the frustration with the changes.......

Everyone is making great stives too.....

Today I weighed and my bounce is up.......the 137 on the scale was just a teaser......LOL

So back to the drawing board.......planning on doing a fast day on tuesday.

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...

[No game 14,437]

About anyone posting? As of two days ago yes.

As was the case on janes "off topic" thread.

But I PMed Alex about it and he said he would fix it.. Is it fixed? I don't know...

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

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,.

[feedyoureye 3,087]

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.

[CowgirlJane 14,259]

Globe this is for you. I am SO glad I had arms done. The idea that I can now go sleeveless..wow.

[feedyoureye 3,087]

They look fantastic Jane! I want mine done now.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

Thanks! I am so glad to that lap band designation under my name gone!

 

Can somebody help me with my online profile?

 

Who is good at writing here that can  be clever and up beat?
