Oh Fudge!

I just got back from Mackinac Island. I didn't have a bite of the famous Mackinaw fudge.  I DID have cashew brittle, sal****er taffee, and so much ice cream that I should be driving a truck and ringing a bell.  Damn this lap band, I needed some dumping to save me from myself.  I could have used this couple of days of walking for miles to break the 200 pound mark, but........... I am back from Up North and back on the band wagon. And I have known people who asked to be unfilled to go on vacation so they could eat whatever they wanted and who came back pounds heavier.  Thanks to the band, I didn't gain a pound, so I guess life is good.

I didn't realize you live in Canton Judy. We're neighbors. Well consider it a victory to go on vacation and not gain a pound. I went on vacation last month for about 3 weeks and gained 3.  So congrats on your victory.

ROFLOL Judy,

RNY wouldn't guarentee a dump!  I could have had a bite of all of the above and not dumped.  Thank goodness a bite is all I generally want now instead of a whole slab of the fudge or lots of cashew brittle (oh yum) but you can have the sal****er taffee.

I take my sugar any way I can get it, Carolyn!  And yes, Tyra, we have a whole little Canton group going.  Carolyn and Tyra and I need to hook up and start walking together.

As soon as Babs is taken care of getting together to walk sounds like a great idea.  I am having the hernia repair/TT Sept 23.  And it seems like I have app't 3x a wee****il then plus regular things like garage sale, family camp out, babysitting.

Bu****ch out world, when Babs is gone and I am healed.....here I come!

Where do you all live? I am in Wayne.  We could be neighbors.

I am at Ford Road and Canton Center.  Are you going to the new support group at Lifetime in Novi on Saturday mornings at 9:30?

Dumping is a good thing. It keeps RNY folks in check. But some have figured out how to beat it.
I still dump if I make a mistake and I can still get stuck even after 4 years.
Sugar over time is what give s you a dump threshold. I can take about 7 grams of sugar per hour. After that I will go over. And when it happens it's usually a full on major dump.
I would imagine the people who unfill are like RNYs who figured out how to beat the dump...

Keep up the good work.
