Me Enjoying Life at 7 years on vacation (pic) of me yesterday

Enjoying Life at 7 years! At a wine Festival on vacation in California pic taken yesterday............Loving my band band at 7 years...hey I may not be in size 4...but I sure I am extremely happy I am no longer in a size 24 at 7  years post op..I will settle for a size12....but I would like to get back into my size 8/10's...I got too many clothes in my closet screeming my name.....

Good for you!

Thank you sweetie! ...we are in this struggle together!

 Nana I realize now that I am so fortunate that I have the Band, that it's a tool that I can start using again, now that I'm ready to work w the band

Nina I feel very fortunate too, my band was "turned off" for about 6 months and I feel very lucky to have a tool inside my body that I can turn off...meaning eat more and turn on and eat less and I am REALLY GRATEFUL that it still works at 7 years..

 Chowwww looking good. Ihope to some day conquer my weight loss goals. I've been lagging lately but made it my goal as of today to start working at it again. I have not lost for the past 3 months but that is my fault due to going back to old eating habits and being lazy. I always enjoy your post Nana.

Thanks! I am just happy to be healthy and have had an uneventful journey.....Scarlett you know there is NO SET TIME to get back on track with the lap band...even if I gain weight and eat stuff that I should not eat and don't exercise for awhile...my band is waiting for me even at 7 years to get a fill and get back on track.....

So don't get discouraged....dust off and keep it moving forward! You can do this

HAVE MERCY!!! 

Grrr. I don't want to hear about your WINE FESTIVAL when I CAN"T HAVE ANY!!!
