I had my surgery on 1/29/19 and was told just to take the capsule. I didn't have any issues or side effects from it. I hope whatever you decide to do, that you feel and heal well.

I used to crave things like bread or chips. After about 6 months post op I started really craving sweets. I'm a dumper, so I have to be really careful. It's almost 1 year post-op and I'm craving cake, ice cream and candy. It's sooo weird for me. I wish u luck in trying to fight the struggle for sweets cravings.

Congratulations!😁

Congrats on surgery.

My highest all time was 325lbs.

My most recent high when I started this journey in May of 2017 I weighed 287lbs and was 256lbs the first visit and weigh in with the surgeon.

I weighed 222lbs on surgery day at 6 months into the program.

I reached 1st goal at 7 months I think? That was 150lbs.

This morning post poopy I weighed 131.4lbs.

It will happen quicker than you think.

In general expect 2-4lbs of loss per week as average. The first two months people usually lose their most weight cuz that's when they are eating the least.

Congratulations. I haven't weighed 131 since 7th grade. I can't even fathom losing so much. I've totally slowed down I bet you look great. Take care

Thank you. I love your online name awesome!

Looking great!! Love the Breakfast club shirt!

I was 330lbs. I lost about 70lbs the first 6 months., I had my surgery 1/29/2019. Today 11/30/19, I was at ths doctor and I weighed in at 217.2lbs. The past month its really slowed down. If you can get in 80-100g of Protein and lots of Fluid you can lose more weight and not be so hungry. I wish you the best of luck. You got this! I shouldve taken more before pics so I could compare. Don't have very many. But this is 1p3lbs gone I think...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU LOOK AMAZING!!! I love your boots too. You dress very cute

Thank you but I don't have discharge. "Female ejaculation refers to about a teaspoon (3–5 cc) of Fluid expelled through the urethra that looks like watered‐down fat‐free milk, tastes sweet, and does not smell like urine. ... Female ejaculation refers to the expulsion of fluid from the urethra that is different from urine." (Came up on Google when I typed in a search for female ejaculation fluid.)

I'm a very detailed person. Maybe you should block my posts. I tend to just write the first thing that pops in my head. Maybe I'm the kind of person you should block. I tend to overshare and am a very detail oriented. Apologies in advance. God bless

I find that if I don’t get all my Water in, my pee gets darker and more unpleasantly odiferous! It can happen overnight if I haven’t invested enough Water before bedtime, and I’m asleep, not hydrating for 7-8 hrs. That first morning pee can be strong and darker yellow than I used to pee pre-GBS. I’ve added one small bottle of blue G-2, Gatorade, to my water routine and that has helped loads. Also 2 Probiotics.

Thanks a million. I'll add a G2 and I just ordered Probiotics. God bless

Thank you for the link. Thank God its not an infection. No pain or discomfort. Just stinky colored pee.

Yes! I did a separate post on this. My voice has been generally weaker since surgery (almost 7 months ago), and it gets very raspy by the end of the day. In addition, I was a pretty serious amateur singer, and I can no longer sing anywhere near the way I used to. I'm afraid I don't have any answers for you, but I can definitely relate to you concerns!

If it's a metallic of some kind, very likely Vitamins. Have gone through it many times off and on over the years, particularly if taking them before eating or without food at all.

Well that mak3s me strangely HAPPY- means the Fat- Burning Engine is still chugging along delivering the goods! Thanks @ dukegal1213!

Ketosis can cause your urine to smell differently, so that may be a reason.

Yes and Yes- my son the TOMKITTEN says " Good Golly Mom- Please Flush!" Told him I already did, spray some Glade and I'll buy some Poopourri at Wal-Mart the next time We are out, believe it's due to the Bariatric Vitamins and Minerals, recently added extra Iron and Vitamin A into my grouping of "goodies" now I have a fishy metallic overtone to it ALL, doesn't smell like any of my previous dischargings. Keep telling myself to be 1/2 my Original Size is Worth It All!

Or from an infection or from ketosis. When breaking down fat, pee reportedly smells like popcorn.< br>

My mind is boggling at this one. I can’t honestly say that I spend much time sniffing my bodily secretions.

Are you drinking a bunch of Water? It could smell because you are dehydrated.

Oh dear god. This should come with a warning. Do I really have to read "Female Ejaculate" in the Frequent Posts Column until this post gets buried into submission?

Does anyone else's pee and female ejaculate smell disgusting? Does it smell yucky forever or does it go back to normal?

Hi y'all. I hope you all are having a good day.

Has anyone else had a problem with a raspy voice after surgery? It's been 7 months and it starts getting raspy a lot. I can't even sing like Cher in the shower anymore. My voice cuts out. I wonder if this is permanent?
