It's quite common for the locally stored items to be wiped before updating as they don't get synced to a server. At least on mobile messages with lives can be stored for a short while, on FB any unopened messages disappear when the game is closed.If you're not getting messages since the update it might be worth disconnecting your Facebook from the game and reconnect it from fresh.
