Things are going well. But I am wondering how long the blue dye remains in system? I am still urinating blue - I feel like a smurf! :thumbup1:

While I can't answer the question, I had to laugh at you being a smurf. Thanks for the heads up that this doesn't go away on the first day. I won't worry when it happens to me! :thumbup1:

I noticed because they pulled my catheter early due to spasms. It started off royal blue and gradually changed over several days to shamrock green.

LOL ... I am at a pale green now. I guess it's true what I learned in first grade - yellow and blue make green. So, now instead of Smurfett, I am the Green Hornet. :thumbup:

Most people talk about the blue diarrhea. It's so strange, but really common.

Mini-Me ~ you are so funny!

It is strange how some people have blue dye in their urine like you, some don't have hardly any at all (like me), and others have blue stools.

...especially for you and I...same surgeon...same procedure...same day...TOTALLY different smurfett response!

Wow, smurfy pee. I don't remember experiencing this, but I had so many problems with nausea immediately following my surgery, I was probably concentrating more on not passing out than anything else.

      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.
