Hi!  I orginally had the lap-band in May of 2008.  I had many medical difficulties with it. Severe acid reflux being the main one.  It was recommended that I have it removed, so I had a revision to a RNY, my insurance would not pay for a Sleeve at that time, (which was my first choice from the beginning).
So far not one day with acid reflux and heartburn issues!!!!  So very happy about that.  In the three years since I began this journey I have lost a total of 115#.  I have some more weight to go and have been struggling with the "head hunger" and the sweet junk.   Yet, I do not regret my journey, any of it.  It's been worth it.  I feel so much better physically. 

well yesterday was awful!! my biopsy came back and it was POSITIVE for cancer. I  need some special radation ( IMRT) so they gave me 4 out odf state choices or U of M .we chose U of M. They want us to stay there a straight 6 weeks  :( we'll see they better have some good ideas to make that happen.
I KNEW I had to do radation but NOT the damn C word!!
so there's the scoop..

Have been away from the boards for a very long time.  I have not been tracking my food., not doing what needs to be done.  I lost my focus , but now I am getting back on track!   

Good morning.

How are we all doing thus far?  I got the ok to try Ensure's high protein shakes (25g) since they don't taste like chocolate whey, or vanilla whey, or watery whey, or milky whey....

That means I can introduce new food when I go home.  PEAS!

I admit I haven't been doing much in the rehlm of excercise.  I've lost almost 40 pounds since my surgery date on May 17th.  I'm thinking about going back to the gym, but I get lazy and really wish I had a gym pal.

OMG....I am soooooo whining!  I'm sorry!

Diet is "okay".  I've had a couple of bumps (one due to sleep walking, the other due to my pouch not liking it's contents), but nothing that would cause me to to flee to the emergency room or my doctors office (unless you count the virus I picked up...that was fun).
