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.

However, if you're concerned after a couple of days - see your quack.

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

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
