Thank you, you look gorgeous. Awesome job.

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 .

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.

Down almost 80lbs! I didn't buy this ridiculous jump suit but I laughed my ass off with my skinny friends while we tried on clothes in the same store! We are having actives all week long at work so I've been seeing a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. I had 3 people tell me that they didn't recognize me yesterday. One of them was my coworker who I work out with every morning when I walked up to her from a distance. It's so weird.

Well in July 29th I will get certified to be a sub. Teacher so I went today and started looking for new clothes to wear to work. I was in a 36 and today I bought a 28 woohoo!!

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 !

I really don't know. It's a good thing you're going to see your surgeon. Let us know what they say!

You are a lifesaver! Thank you!

I take Claritin my doctor said it was fine !

Most people don't have time to make their own sauces. I often do crock pot chicken Cooked with salsa, I shred it up and eat it on salads all week. I feel it's important to eat a balanced diet. Sugar and carbs included (complex) in moderation of course. Congrats on you for your loss. Different strokes for different folks. because I still consume a smidge of sugar doesn't mean I am not worthy of the surgery or that my surgery is a "waste". I eat anything I want in moderation. This isn't a diet and I refuse to obsess over and be consumed by what I am eating. I just am overwhelmed by your audacity to criticize someone using taco seasoning. I literally LOL'd. Cheers!

Taco seasoning as no sugar and 3 carbs per serving. You wouldn't even eat a whole service with this recipe, or you could leave the taco seasoning out. Salsa has 2 sugars and 2 carbs. As I said my husband eats his with a tortilla or chips. What do you eat? Plained boiled chicken 24/7?
It's almost impossible to avoid all sugars and wouldn't be healthy or even doable to avoid all carbs. You do what you want to do, but this isn't a chocolate chip cookie recipe, it's a healthy, easy, almost pure Protein.

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.

I am so sorry your experience hasn't been the best! I have had 2 strictures as well and possibly a 3rd but I am fighting that. My weightloss is much slower 39 and holding!!!!!! but I know it will come off and I am not worried-I am on track just not exercising like I should be. I am working on that-setting a goal to run a 5 k and that takes practice and training!!!! Hang in there, some of us are on a smooth track and some have the rough one-we are on the rough one but we will get on the smooth one soon! This is worth it!

*A non-scale victory shout out* I was walking through my house yesterday in front of my family, with my hands full and my pants fell to my ankles!!!!!! I was so happy/excited I couldn't be embarrassed lmao. My 5 year old said mommy I don't think them pants fits you anymore! Heheh just thought I'd share!

Down 46 pounds since 3/12/14

I'm losing slow and steady, averaging a pound a day, no complaints here. Energy level still up and down but no worries still getting my walks in. Water seems to be a struggle with all of us but I'm sure it will get better. Most days I get my Protein in but hitting purée food next week so I'm sure my amount will drop. Keep up the good work my fellow Marchies

Milk of magnesia!

Blue I can relate , I've lost 33 lbs so far after surgery and it looks like it all is coming from my legs I'm afraid I'm gonna start looking like a watermelon on toothpicks! Haha!
