Another Island Bandit

6 October 2006

I have discovered another Island Bandit, who also is a Theatre patron. He's been banded four about four months and has lost 50 pounds with no problems at all, which is encouraging since I believe he has had a number of health challenges prior to surgery.

I've also begun to participate in the Lap Band Talk forums, with replies on several threads, particularly to questions about nutrition -- getting the word out about non-soy/whey protein options, liquid nutritionals, stevia, etc.

My sister has offered to join me and Ginny in P.V. post-surgery to help entertain me during my recovery. I know Mom and Dad will feel better about that, and I certainly will, too.

I began browsing around some of the P.V. travel sites today to see what we might do with ourselves besides sit in a vegetative state by the pool or the beach, and I just roared laughing when I found Master Baiters Sportfishing & Tackle...Guaranteed Catch. Well, I would think so.:heh:
