Question about pee color (sorry)



Recommended Posts

color of urine has nothing to do with whether or not fat is being burned. You can test that with Ketone strips.

Clear pee means you are well hydrated. Dark pee means you are not drinking enough,

This ususally means that you are either getting more Vitamins then you need or your vitimans aren't being absored well. I would still take them but maybe consider a liquid gel or liquid Vitamin.

The bright yellow is mostly just the excess and doesn't hurt you but as some Vitamin companies (that claim to be more absorbed say) you're peeing down your money.

Urine should look like Water and poop should float, believe it or not. ;)

LMBO :pound:At least I can say my pee is clear most of the time (except after my vitamins), but my poop has never floated. I believe what you say b/c you seem to be very intelligent, but this struck me as funny.

Huh I always thought it was the opposite Wheetsin, that your poop was supposed to sink, if it floated you were sick. But I heard that many years ago, lol, either way I love this thread. Hehe ;)

Opera had a doctor "forgot his name" but he authored the book called "You - the owners manual" and he advociated the "poop" float... the sinking kind is bad but the floating kind is good.

He also brought on the show real live (I mean dead) intenstines and showed healthy vs unhealthy... wow that was gross but interesting. Made me want to get my Fiber in for life.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
