Trying to find a place to land

Thanks Linda!  I had no idea either---but I knew something wasn't right.  From what I have been reading (since my repair / revision) is that it's not real common.  I did find information- but when you think about the number of people who have had WLS now, I would hope I could find information on just about any complication.  I always say I'm never the simple case / problem / issue- sometimes I just want to be the person that has the classic problem or concern.  Hopefully, I am good for a long time and there will be no need to whine again soon. LOL

I would be whining too if I were you.  You can always come here and whine.  I really hope the rest of your journey will be textbook!!

I use the protein drinks and love the Lemon Tea.  I do put it in a shaker cup or mix it up and put it in a cup with a lid and straw.  I don't like the smell so with a lid I can't smell it while I'm drinking it.
I also use the Fuzzy Navel and Cappuccino.

Great weight loss so far!!

Welcome Jenn!  Like Gina said - we have a couple of revision folks that come on here. 

Glad you found us - I'm sure you may have lots of good advice for those of us that are fighting maintenance (me mainly)...

Good to hear you've lost 12 lbs!  Thats great! 

Please stay here with us - you'll find a great bunch of people that are nothing but supportive!!

I remember maintenance---and I was so happy with myself that my weight wasn't an issue.  I remember being so happy that I could just do whatever I wanted without sticking out, or having medical problems.  I could see a Dr and they never dreamed of lecturing me to drop a few pounds or no speeches about how often I HAD to see them.  I remember feeling so free- and how much I had built my ties to other things and not to food.  Not that I hated food- but I can remember purposely doing the things that had been suggested. I withdrew (didn't go or focused on other things at the event- played with kids etc) from events that focused on food.  Food was not a reward for a good or bad day, it wasn't a prize, it wasn't a pat on the shoulder.  It was an amazing feeling- I can't wait to feel that way again.  I journaled my food when I went through hard times- it helped me feel accountable and to distinguish between I want this snack or my body needs to have this snack. I plan on chiming in when I can on the board.  Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome and glad you are doing well after your last surgery.  I love my RNY and hopefully your new one will be good for you too.

Thanks!  I already feel a lot better. 

Welcome to our forum.  You have been through a lot in the past few years and I'm glad that you have been able to get it corrected.  What amazing blessings, two new babies!  I have found that the syntrax nectar lemon tea with lemonade crystal lite is pretty good.  I'm not a big fan of chocolate or vanilla.  I think the fruit flavored drinks are less protein tasting.

Anyway, welcome, looking forward to hearing about your new experiences.

I keep trying to remind myself that I have actually had a lot of issues- I didnt even write the ones I had after my first RNY. LOL  Thanks for the suggestions.

 Welcome to the best  board on the block.  I never heard of the pouch and stomach reattaching either but I'm glad to hear you kept pursuing help until you found your answers.  That's the kind of self-empowerment we can all use.

Crazy- that is how I was starting to feel...when everyone kept assuming I had reflux or my bowels where 'angry' from my hernia surgery in November.  I KNEW something wasn't good in there.  Thanks.
