Losing in NWAR

Is it bright yellow (like a neon marker) or amber (like maple syrup)

Neon is almost certainly the vitamins

It's darker. If you look in the toilet, the dark is at the bottom of the toilet.

Out of curiosity are you on the bariatric vitamins/b12 ?

Many peoples urine turns like neon yellow from excessive b vitamins

Ohhhhh..... yeah, I'm taking Thiamin/B1. Maybe that's what it is? 🤞🏻🤞🏻

So, since I've been home I've had rather dark looking urine. I drink Water throughout the day. I'm not sure how I can drink more. Am I dehydrated or is something else going on? Just asking to make sure I'm not needing to move faster to see my dr. Have an appt Tuesday.

Congrats on the surgery! You know I haven't had any cravings yet. At 4 weeks i'm starting to get hungry at dinner time only. I've never had chicken and waffles before. Resist that damn chicken!

Gosh, I haven't had any except that. It's difficult because it's literally the best chicken I've ever had! If you ever make it to Northwest Arkansas it's a stop you should make!

My surgery was a week ago and today is the first time I've craved anything. One of my friends opened up a chicken & waffles food truck. He has the most amazing chicken I've ever had. I visited him. I want some of that damn chicken. I can't wait until I can eat solids! But, thankfully, I haven't been hungry or craving anything otherwise!

Oh my good lord. You have had a run of things! Good luck on your transition tomorrow!

I'm the 9th also!!

Bypass buddies!!!

you're pretty.

Thank you! [emoji4]

Wishing you all the best on your journey!!

Thank you so much!!

Good for you. I am 11 days post op and am feeling great. Crazy amounts of energy and NO HUNGER!!!

Congrats on a successful surgery!!

I can't WAIT to feel that!!

My surgery is Aug 9!

I'm August 9th, too!!

I have Anthem. 6 months of appts with the first included. The only extra thing they required after my last appt was a letter of support from my PCP. I got approved last Friday and am scheduled for the 9th.

I'm scheduled for the 9th!

This morning I got the call for scheduling! I go in for pre-op tomorrow morning and my surgery is scheduled for August 7th! I'm finally starting to get nervous and freak out a bit!

I know this is so late, but I just saw. I'm not in Little Rock, but I'm in Fayetteville! I used to live in LR and drive through here to head back home. I'd be happy to be a buddy if you still would like one!

Day 2 done. Drank 2 and half Protein Shakes. 40 oz Water and a cup of beef broth. Also walked for 30 mins. Didn't take any pain medicine today. Throat still hurts and tummy is sore but manageable. As of now I feel like I'll be ok going to work on Monday. We'll see how I do tomorrow though.

You made it through! Congrats! One day at a time!

Good for you. You're doing the right thing. Good Luck

Thank you! I definitely hope so!

Hi!! I'm new on the app, but have had my last appt and been submitted to insurance. I have a tentative RNY surgery date for August 7th. Being able to see everyone's experiences is very helpful! Any buddies for August 7th?

Well, I've started it.....I've scheduled my appointments at Highland Hospital in Rochester, NY for bariatric surgery! Nutrition Seminar on 7/20, History & Physical on 7/25, and 1st Nutritionist 1 on 1 on 8/21.
Can anyone share what I can expect at these appointments?

I can't say for sure, but I can tell what happened at mine. I had to do 6 months of diet & nutrition appts to be approved by insurance. At my first appt, I had to do blood work, a stress test, ekg, and ultrasounds of my legs. My next appt I had to do a trans-nasal endoscope. I also had to do a sleep study to check for sleep apnea. The rest of my appts have been talking to nutritionists and dietitians discussing changes I've made and ways to make changes ongoing. Hope that helps! And good luck!
