Holy crap you look amazing !!! congrats!

Iam also anemic . I'm cold all the time to lol I've made beautiful progress with the weight lost I had my surgery 3/12/14 and I've lost 111 pounds . Very pleased with that just wish all my other issues would disappear and I wish i could eat solid food .

I can so relate with the tingling and vitamin situation. I wasn't the best at taking my vitamins and gradually day by day my legs and feet and toes were very tingly and even got crazy numb like a going to sleep feeling and it has stayed liked that going on 3 months. Little did I know I developed a vitamin deficiency to b1. So now I set alarms to remind to take my vitamins lol bc let me tell ya I wouldn't wish this feeling on my worst enemy. You never realize how much something means until you don't have it and let me tell ya it's hard to cope with the fact that I'm only 28 and at one point was having to walk with a walker for support. So needless to say I will try my best to NEVER forget my vitamins again lol .

Awww you look great

I can so relate , I had my rny on March 12th and I've had complication after complication ive lost 110 pounds and i wish i could say its from excercise and eating right but its not ,I can't eat food i live off Protein drinks.My hair is falling out horribly and I take 20,000 mg of Biotin a day. I should be at the prime of my life losing 110 pounds i should be happy but I'm not I'm drowning inside i just want to feel normal again . I wanna be able to eat FOOD not bad Food but be able to eat without puking EVERYTHING UP! Sorry to be the negative nancy but nobody around me understands.

You look awesome!

I've lost 91 pounds so far , even with complications I couldn't be more blessed [ATTACH]46279[/ATTACH]

My surgery was 3/12/14 I started my journey at 331 iam now 249 that's 82 flipping pounds! I've been miserable I won't lie but it's so worth it to be ! [ATTACH]45893[/ATTACH]

Ok guys I have a question. I had my surgery 3/12/14 and since then I've lost 80 pounds. Well for the past month or more my stomach and legs constantly feel sore to touch and they have a tingling sensation almost as if on the verge of going to sleep. It's weird feeling! I'm wondering if maybe it's bc of my extra skin pulling down to make it sore ?? I don't know anyone else have this feeling?? I go to my doctor this Thursday to see what he has to say.

I take Claritin my doctor said it was fine !

South carolina!

Can't really say I did bc I still haven't been able to eat :/

I've already had a dilation done and I'm about to have to get another bc I still can't eat solid food . My surgery was 3/12/14 . I still throw up everything I eat now it's to the point the smell of food makes me sick I live off yogurt and breakfast essentials. I've had a not so good experience with surgery but great weightloss but don't worry it won't be much different.

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I'm definitely gonna try those smoothies and the bars I have to try something.

Thanks for the encouraging words! It is worth it ! Just sucks being so sick.

Not sure I go back next week so we can talk about what's going on.

Hey all ! I've been gone a while , hate to be the Debbie downer but I haven't had the best of experience. I'm very pleased with my weight loss I had rny on 3/12/14 and since then I've lost 70 pounds. But it's bc I can't eat anything ! I've already had a stricture and had to have my gallbladder removed since surgery and still to this day I can't eat or drink much at all and no solid food still! I'm so discouraged I just wanna feel Simi normal again . I still puke multiple times a day, and it's a constant battle with nausea. But I try to stay positive and look at the bright side down 70 pounds & I'm happy with that.

Down 46 pounds since 3/12/14 [ATTACH]43993[/ATTACH]

I think I just might have to! I can do the soups and yogurt and jello. But all solids make me sick!

I had my surgery March 12th and I'm having the same issues . Everything I eat it either comes up or I'm so nauseaed that I'm miserable. My doc thinks it may be my gallbladder. I find out Monday.

It will get better hang in there!

The first time I tried eggs I couldn't tolerate them but tried a few weeks later and could. I'm just scared to try again lol

I'm gonna stay accountable , I've had a few sips of diet Pepsi and I promise I won't do it again. I burped so much that I was puking and felt funny after so I won't have anymore. I don't think we are suppose to have it because the carbonation can stretch our pouch. But I did, lol I'm staying accountable so don't judge me haha
