Hi! RNY on July 15th... Now, I'm having brown (NOT dark yellow) urine and tingling hands... should I call my surgeon or regular md???

What is it?

I'm July 15 too!!

best news today!!!

I think that's the stall I've read about. I'm stalled too. Instead of losing pounds we will lose inches. I hope. Thank you! I'm hoping! If to have any links to info on "the stall" please send them.

I'm almost three weeks out. Just started solids which is difficult. And now three days with no weight loss and I'm terrified!

I don't know!! I'm in the same situation. Will I ever be okay to do a social thing again? We have a spirits and jazz fundraiser this Thursday and I'm still on liquids!! I'm terrified.

Add me on Facebook too! ( Brandy Keippala )

I'll send you a fb request!! And way to go!! Are you home yet?

Jay, my favorite is the Nectar. I have about six flavors, lol!! I also drink Proti, but it's not my favorite.

You must have a great Panera Bread! I'm sitting at the one in Renton Landing (WA) and they made a huge deal about me even asking. How dare I suggest they blend some soup in the smoothie blenders.

I'm about ten days out now and have lost about 13 lbs from my pre surgery weight. But, remember all those fluids that they pumped into you? Yeah, I gained 20lbs from that. My suggestion is keep your head up, do your best, and remember that a minus is always good! Also, yesterday I was only able to get a few shakes in (2 oz each) to the tube of about 128 calories. That worries me that my body might think I'm starving and start to hold on to everything. I'm also barely clearing 30 oz water. It's hard, but I will keep trying. Because I have hope!!! I hope you find your comfort!

How is everyone doing? I feel great! But, I was super weak this morning. I checked my food journal and realized that I only had 128 calories yesterday. Gulp. I've already gotten 90 (2, two-ounce shakes) today, so I'm hoping for a better day. It was shocking to see such a low number.

I agree!

I didn't think I could have it until I saw someone on here taking is, so I verified with md and started yesterday. thanks for the suggestion!!!

I'm feeling so much better today! Kicker? No narcotics!! I feel like they were making me sick so I just stopped last night. I'm still in pain, but I can take it. The dizziness, nausea, and headache are gone!

You ran!!!! That is admirable!!!!! Way to go

My family is really, really enjoying the dinners everyone is bringing! Too bad I get to sit back, smile, and sip my lemon water. Lol

I had two super nauseous moments today. I also have no clue why... And my shoulder hurts, for the first time, and both forearms? Hmm

Can't wait to try these!!!

This has to be my favorite thread to read! Brings happy tears to my eyes. I'm six days post op, and I can't wait to post my own "NSV" :-)

That so awesome!!! I'm waiting for that day!!

I had insurance hell too!!! We switched to one during our open enrollment that covered it, only to be told later that it wasn't covered. Fought to get to a new insurance, only to be out oh hold. It took HOURS and hours of phone calls, emails, letters, and crying. I'm now six days post op. Please don't give up!!!

I don't have an event yet, but I would love to do a Pineapple Classic!! Also, I miss playing ice hockey!!!
