Wow, has it really been that long? I loved reading my response and reflecting back. Btw, I found my ankles. I totally rediscovered my intamicy with the hubby. I was the driver of my body, but being pregnant, I can't claim that any more. I never did get my boots. I did need a repair and it was costly... For me anyway. I had to have my port re-tacked down not even a year out of surgery. That certainly stalled any weight loss effort for a hot minute.
What else? So much as changed! I am not done with my journey. I have had my share of setbacks, but thank god having the band is like a reset button. You buckle down and go again. this is my life journey and everyday I struggle with my food choices. I know what I need to do, but doing it is really tough.

Well yes and no! Remember the Great Protein Shakes Wars of the 2006/2007 era? They got vicious! OH had to ban people for their personal attacks! Then there were the RNY versus Band fights which were nasty. They passed and the DS versus the Band wars started. Boy were they unpleasant!
You have always had to dodge bullets!
