Thanks Coach!! I did not get filled again til end Sept due to some mix ups and family issues...but I lost 5 ibs since early July, so all is not totally lost...I was feeling kinda low at fill, but surgeon was REALLY supportive - I needed that and reading your blog - so I can refocus on ME, which I kinda lost over summer, exercise - which I am SLOWLY kicking up -walking dog, and with students at PE at school - and only having 1 day of more relaxed eating...I have lost a total of about 58lbs since my March 20th surgery, so I really need to feel some success- but be realistic that I have a long way (at least another 100 -120 to go...in 2 years - goal..) So thanks for reminding us all how the race has to be done in a smart and focused on long term way.. G:thumbup:

I too am thinking about getting a bike this summer. Banded March 20th - I did not get first fill yet due to doing well and May my surgeon was overbooked, so first fill will be tomorrow.. Question, what is a good bike for a heavier gal like me, that won't cost an arm and a leg???

I just got banded March 20th, and my Doctor did not want to fill me last week, since I had lost 24 lbs...but she said I know you aren't letting the band work for you, so next time around, eat more protein, less soups...(I liked the soup phase..easier for me) and exercise. Coach, thanks for the blog, I needed to hear so I can focus on letting the band work for me, not try sheer willpower as my Doc says I am rignt now..
