@cabernetqueen Hi Sally, I am still down in Florida, so I am going to have to wait until I get back home. I am pretty sure I will be having revision surgery sometime next fall when I get back from doing my research down in Honduras. I had my consultation just before leaving for the holidays. I am pretty scared about it, but I have still be getting sick a lot. If this can improve the situation, it would be good. He want to revise to RNY.

so good to see you...you look fabulous..hopefully you can get things sorted out so that the surgery won't interfere too much with your master's studies... keep us up to date...miss you ... still think often about the fun we had in Vegas!

@neecyd63 Thanks Neecy! When I had my consult, he asked when I wanted to do the revision, and I said in fall after I get back from doing my research. I wish I could go to Vegas again this year, we had so much fun last year, but I will probably be down in Honduras in May, so I don't think I will be able to make it this year. :(

GREAT! so glad you realized that following the RULE to not drink while you eat and for at least 30 to 60 minutes after eating is a KEY to the firm protein working for you and not become slider food. Ah HA! also good to hear that you have a surgery date. I know that "heavy" / "stuck" feeling very well living with a lapband. keep us posted on your surgery and hopefully you'll get more answers and be able to plan for next semester.

@bandedwendy Hey Wendy, I actually don't have a surgery date, just an appointment with the surgeon. I have been trying to figure out how to handle next semesters projects as I won't have a date until later, kind of tricky. It has definitely been a re-learning curve getting back the MGB rules after all this time. Just a few days and I am back down from 150 to 143. But, it feels good to be eating less and eating healthier. :)

Congrats on your surgery appointment, hope it leads to you feeling better! You look fab and you have such a cute little fur baby :) Damn that sliding food! Glad you are eating healthier!

YES THAT WAS SOMETHING IM SURE NO ONE THOUGHT OF. U HAD TO GET RID OF WHAT U WERE PUTTING IN UR BODY.

@OkieGirl7 Umm, I think I need to clear this up for you. I had my MGB in the states, it's the only place they do it, they don't do it in Canada. I was loosing too much weight which is why I had to start eating a lot. It was to mitigate becoming underweight. I was eating a lot of high calorie foods, not so much healthy. Because I am having the surgery "fixed" (in Canada) I needed to start eating normally again. Also, it was not heavenly, it was really bad, and I was sick most of the time. :(

But with you eating about every hour like you were would seemingly pack on the weight again; but you didn't. Seems you should have gained a lot of your weight back. Guess your nibbling all day was with really healthy stuff. Your mbp sounds really interesting to me but I'm not interested in leaving the states to have anything done. Wonder why its not performed in America? I know theres pro and cons to everything but eating a lot & not ever gaining sounds heavenly to me.
