Water Water Water!!!! Dark urine is often a sign of dehydration. Yes, it could be from certain medications or you might be spotting a little. Either way, more fluids can't hurt.

Ur urine should may be dark in the AM but it needs to be clear or close to it by the afternoon. If its not then ur probably not getting enough Fluid. Thats what my Dr told me...

try not to get behind on the fluids...i had the flu 2 weeks after my surgery and became dehydrated. I ended up going back to the hospital just to get an IV. The Dr. told me that w/the sleeve, we cannot afford to get behind because we cannot ingest the quantity of liquids we need to get back on track. If I get a little behind, I mix G2 gatorade with Water and put down a glass or two so at least my body will retain some fluids. Just keep sippin!

Vitamins can change the color too. The time I go after taking my B12 is always darker.

My dark urine was dehydration and it led me to a UTI. Be careful!

Urine should be clear or light yellow if you are fully hydrated. It gets darker as you dehyrate, which will give you nausea, headaches and maybe even the poops. Vitamins usually turn mine this funky bright yellow with a tinge of green, like flourescenty? It's weird. But for others its more of a darker yellow. I would say try to drink more Water.< /p>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
