I love my band because it helps me to work on my goals. I did a years worth of research before getting banded. Now, 18 months post surgery I'm completely happy with my choice. I work hard and the results show. I have two friends that were banded around the same time as me. Neither of them exercises. Both lost some weight but neither has had the dramatic results I have. The band is a tool to help us become healthy. We still have to do the work. We have to eat right and exercise.

I modified Hal Higgdons 12 week half marathon training program. There are many out there. Before the half I had done about 6 5K races.

Thank you!!

Everyone is different. In my support group most folks don't go below 1200. I am between 1400 and 1600. Keep in mind I am training for a half marathon.

Thank you!!

I completed my first half marathon this weekend! I ran it in 2hrs 42mins and if you experienced that wind and saw those hills you'd be impressed. I impressed myself. It's been one amazing victory after another. I love getting fitter and healthier. Wouldn't change my band for anything.

I'm so sick of getting stuck on anything I attempt in the morning. The rest of the day is fine but mornings are impossible.

I only ever have a shake for Breakfast. Unfortunately I've also been getting stuck on those in the morning lately. Not fun. I'm not thinking I'm too tight only because the rest of the day I'm great. I had a hot cup of mint tea this morning and that seemed to help make it less tight.
