It's been a while...

It has been so long since I've been here, most of you probably have no clue who I am. But I have a story to tell. For those of you just starting out or for those veterens out there. It doesn't matter how long you've been banded you can always start fresh and make your band work for you. I lost 75lbs my first year and then tragedy struck, my mom died way too young of cancer, and well I learned how to eat around my band and even had it unfilled in 2007. Last November (2009) I was finally ready to work at it again, I got my first fill in what seemed like forever but I had gained back 45lbs. Today I am 5lbs away from the 100lbs lost mark! Don't give up out there, you can do it too! Don't let anyone tell you that you're a failure because you are a winner! So go WIN!!!

So sorry to hear about your loss. On a brighter note, congrats on making the choice to get back on track! Way to go on being at the 100 lbs mark!
