SHOULD I DO IT?
GreenTealael replied to Nfan49@frankie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are scheduled, you must want to do it. My experience will not be your's however it was a simple uncomplicated surgery and uneventful recovery, although I had more pain than many write about. Smooth sailing when it comes to the VSG portion of health journey, But other medical issues haven't completely resolved themselves and there's no promise all will. quality of physical life/limitations have been improved. I'm grateful I took the risk. -
The Case for More Water
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

The Case for More Water
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

The Case for More Water

Nice, Does tea loading count? Lol I can never drink just one cup at a time But honestly intermittent fasting has really helped me to be super mindful of water/fluid intake again, I was getting the minimum always but I knew I could do better -

The Case for More Water

No but I didn't read all of the primary sources this study was built around, the ones involving humans surely have that data -
I could have written this same rant about anything that doesn't live up to my expectations,lol I think being specific/selective is a part of self care especially if you know it will derail you to be around bad habits ... I'm just happy this post wasn't as shallow as I thought it was going to be.

Low water/fluid intake is likely the culprit, try increasing your water/fluid intake and see if the color changes (should change quickly, couple hours couple servings) if not contact your physician.
