I'm not peeing much!!!

O.K. This may sound weird, but I am 2 weeks out and still on the full liquid diet. I don't think I'm urinating enough. I sip G2 and Crystal Lite all...day...long, but I have noticed that I am only urinating twice a day and when I do, it looks more like "apple juice" than "lemonade". I am a little worried. I don't feel sick or "dehydrated" so I wonder what could be wrong???

Usually if you have dehydration you are feeling thirsty. The color of the urine is affected by what you drink. Try getting more plain Water and less G2 and crystal lite then you should see the color thin out.. I neither urinate nor have many stools. Of course, should consult your primary doctor, not necessarily the surgeon.

Remember that the liquids are taking the place of the foods you used to eat. Even solid foods have lots of liquid in them. If you are not retaining the Water in your tissues, then you should be fine. I would still call my doctor though and check with them if it is normal.
