New to forum, banded for 2+ years



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, just found this forum on the net. Hope you can understand my posting as English is not my native language. I was banded in October 2004 and have finally reached my goal. I'm used to metrics, so I'll use my BMI. I went from 47 to 25 in just 2 years. I'm a member of a forum in my own country, but now I have a question no one on that forum can answer. For over a week now I'm suffering a dropfoot, and it was mentioned to me that one of the reasons can be a lack of Vitamins. Is someone on this forum familiar with this? Please help as I'm really frightened at the moment. I have been to the hospital and was seen by a neuro specialist who told me the dropfoot wasn't the result of a stroke, but I have to wait 3 weeks for a follow up appointment and would like to have some answers sooner. Thanks!

Hi there and :welcome2: to the forum. Dropfoot doesn't only come from a stroke -- there may be other forces at play. I couldn't find anything that specifically mentioned Vitamins as a trigger, but this link explains some of the neuro-muscular things that might be going on.

Click here: Drop Foot (Foot Drop) and Steppage Gait (Footdrop Gait)

I'll share also that earlier this year I was tripping a lot and once fell out flat on my face while walking around the neighborhood. :faint: Since I had broken my ankle several years prior, I thought this was the result -- dropfoot. I went to my orthopedist and he took X-rays, watched my walk and pronounced that I did not have dropfoot, I was just a lazy walker and did not fully pick up my feet! Duh! I can report, no tripping since then.

Hope your story turns out well for you. Hang in there!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
