Oh, my, I've been going crazy without this board!



Recommended Posts

Yup; I can get crazy with out my 'hit' of LBT. I'm back into doing my 'check in'...and it feels good to have it.

Without it; I panic. :help:

yep- me too; I was having major head hunger last night and I use this board as a crutch to talk me off the potential binge that might occur otherwise.

yea for LBT!

HOORAY!!!!

I don't know what I'd do without this board. It has been my lifeline through this journey.

It appears one of the servers at the company that hosts the site crashed over the weekend. I was so worried something had happened and I lost lapbandtalk for good.

I am so happy it is back. My surgery is scheduled for 11/20 and reading posts on here really calms me down. I kept checking it every 15 minutes. I admit that some not very nice words came out of my mouth.

I was so worried that it was gone for good. I'm so glad that it's back. I may not get the chance to come on here everyday, but when I do get the chance and it's not available...I freak out. I'm so glad that it's back...now I can sigh a sigh of relief.:clap2:

And there doesn't seem to be another board out there like this one! Not one that is as active and devoted to lap band surgery, at least not that I could find. Being somewhat housebound after having my surgery on Thursday, I really wanted to get on this site!!!

Dang, I never realize how addicted I am to this site until it's UNAVAILABLE!!! I've been going through withdrawals!

Same here! I've been trying to get on since last night and I've been checking it about every 30 minutes. Glad to be back!

:clap2:

I still take the cake here. I went so far as to track down the company that hosts the site this morning and called them just to make sure there really was "just" a technical difficulty and that someone was working on it. I apologized right and left for calling them telling them I knew it wasn't really my place to call, but they were very friendly and said they knew there was a problem and would have it back up shortly.

I just couldn't stand not knowing if Lapbandtalk was permanently MIA due to funding problems or who knows what reason as opposed to just some computer glitch which thankfully is what it was. If it had been down for the count I was already trying to work out ways to start a drive to bring it back. I think (strike that I KNOW!!!) I'd even be willing to pay a membership fee to keep this site going if it ever came to that. I am ever gratefull to the person/people that started this site and those that help to monitor and keep it going.

Wow! Me too. I was trying every 15 min. or so, thought it was a problem with my computer. I am a lap band talk junkie I guess!:(

I know! It was down for 2 days and I had to go to obesity help. :( It's ok but seems more geared toward RNY.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
