Hi all I fall yesturday when I park my car and was about to enter my job , I did not see the black ice at all , thanks God one of my coworkers was leaving and warming his car and came out to help me if not maybe I will be there to until someone else arrive to work it was 6:50 am , I strain my knee very bad and I have a contusion in my ribs I went down and hit my back with ice , I got really scare because I was unable to breath, when the ambulance came my blood presure was very high and I was cold like ice , doctor said that my breathing problem was due to the ribs were hit very hard, xray do not show a fracture but doctor said sometimes it not show until days after, my knee is killing me the pain is steady the worst part is that I have a surgery in that knee a few years back, I am home and resting for now ,

Thanks a lot gowalking!

Thank you all for your kind words , all of those dealing with ice and snow please becarefull , I am in a lot of pain heading to my regular doctor office right now , thanks again!

My first NSV I have been reading a lot of nsv in this tread and most of them are happening to me too, the one that really surprise me was this one, I was shopping yesturday and I always wants to buy color bracelets with matching earrings when I shop for my vacation stufs but the bracelets were always to small for me and I always tell my friend that those bracelets are made for skinny people only but yesturday I tried one that it look nice knowing that will not fit like always but IT DID and I start trying all of them and all fit, I was so happy and surprise that i called my husband to check how they look in my hand, It was my first time in years that I was able to purchase one of those bracelets!!!!!

Hi ms. Vickie I use to drink unjury but recently I changed to EAS lean 15 so far is good but yesturday I went to my doctor and he said very soon I have to stop drinking those shakes because it defeit the purpose of the band that I need to eat food three times at day small portions, I have 4cc that was place during surgery and no other fills yet lost 50 pounds from pre op and post op 11/06/13 , I am like you I like shakes but banana is not good to much calories for me I mixed with papaya in the morning , and eat one small food and one salad at day. Congratulations in your lost!

Hi Ahanna I also was banded at the beggining of november (6) I really do not understand you concern yo lost almost 40 pounds , I believe more than me because the day of my surgery my weight was 253 and now I am at 222 and I am happy with my results better than I expected, just remember is a proccess if you doctor explained how the band works you should remember the lost will be slow but concistent 1 to 2 pounds at week , good luck .

Hi Kassy I am going to be 3 months post op this coming february (6) and I do not eat breasfast at all , I drink a cup of coffee and then around 12.30 to 1.00 pm I drink a Protein shake with fruit before I head to work , after that I eat a yogurt or a snack and then dinner usually a salad or tuna fish, grill chicken or a chilli from wendys , sometimes i drink another Protein Shake when I got home at night and my weight lost is 2 or 3 pounds for week, I got 4 cc in my band at time of surgery and after that no fills yet , I do not get hungry and I do not think my doctor will do any fill soon due to I have the restriction and I am loosing weight , I start at size 22 and now using size 16 good luck and remember we control our body, when you get hungry drink Water it helps!!!

That sound great , unfortunatly I work every weekend maybe next time if I know in advance I request the day off to join the group! Have fun and enjoy!!
