grannypearl 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Hi, My name is Cathy. I have had a band for three years. I lost real good at first and then it stopped. I even tried using slim fast for Breakfast and dinner and had no loss. I had very bad knees and was unable to walk much or exercise. I also have fibromyalgia, so I pretty much stay in pain. I just had total knee replacements and am recovering from them. I am able to walk more and exercise more and I hope to start losing again. I am disabled. I have been married for almost 40 years. I have 5 children and 18 grandchildren. I want to be able to do more with my grand children. I hope I get to know some of you very well. Thanks.

I am sorry you have had so many struggles, hopefully with your knee replacements that will help. With the support and advice you find here, hopefully we can all help each other stay on track and get the thinner, healthier bodies we all want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
