Heather,
You've done so well, and you look awesome, as you can see there is now window of opportunity to get back on track with the band, you can always "reboot it" with a fill or just modify your eating and exercise plan. If you put your mind to and stay focused I am sure you will reach your goal size 6 by summer. You CAN do this!
Original Lap Band * 9/30/2005 * 4cc 10cm band*, lost 130 pounds. 7 Great years!
Revision surgery to AP small lap band *11/13/2012*, due to large hiatal hernia. I am hopeful about continuing my band journey uneventful and successful. I loved what my old band did for me and I am looking forward for my new band to Keep my weight down
I am 5'5 and 1/2 and when I am completely honest with myself, I loved being a size 5. I actually can hold weight and be that size though I may be a bit confused because I see pics and I am like wow, you were tiny. It was awesome to fit into anything I picked up anywhere. I did feel more vulnerable too without the weight - I don't like attention, people being attracted to me. I clean up real nice and I like to clean up for myself but I wish people would not notice . This confession may help me to move forward.
So a size 5 and as tight and toned as I could be. When I am that size, my thoughts are more on plastic surgery too like a spiral thigh lift for sure and maybe a boob lift.
My goal is to lose the 25lbs that I've allowed to hang around for one reason or the other.
All Best

Zee,
You mentioned that you don't like the attention you get when you are smaller, I think a lot of obese women have this same fear. I had that fear, and sometimes we use food to help protect us.
You can achieve your goal of a size 5, it's doable, stay focused and work your tool and most importantly - love yourself, you deserve the best.

I would love to be 145 , my scale in the morning at home has me at 150 ! Scale at doctors office in the afternoon has me at 158 !?????
I just want to get back into my size 10 Levi's and my size 8 Macy's jeans!!!! I think 5 more pounds should do it.
So much harder when you only have a few more to lose!!!!!

The more someone tells me "impossible" or " you can't do that", the more determined I become! Heck we just finished celebrating our 30 wedding anniversary this week, we dated 8 weeks, married 3 months later! And people actually were taking bets against us?!
They are all divorced!
