Do you take an iron supplement?

Its the food and the Iron.. headache is probably due to insufficient Fluid. Unless you're vomiting a lot or have pain/swelling in and around your wound sites/stomach coupled with a bit of a fever- I wouldn't worry.

Glad to hear this about poop color change. I've noticed mine have settled on orangey yellow, since my Oct 3rd sleeve date.

Mine went from dark green / black to orange and now back to green/ black, I'm still on liquids , my date was 10/9... Only full liquid I can take in is protein 1- 2 oz every 15 , interested to see what color I get in a month with I start the blender foods lol
