I'm drinking Water all day and when I use the bathroom my urine is really dark in color. It seems as if its showing signs of dehydration. Has anyone had problems with this.

It can be dehydration or your blood sugar. Are you a diabetic ? Do you take any types of meds? High blood sugar causes dark urine, also if you're just post op, all the fluids in the IVs they give you can be clearing thru ur system.

I had my surgery march 26th. I'm not a diabetic or take meds. Could it possibly be the type of Vitamins I take.

I notice that my urine is dark right after I take my vitaimins.

The rest of the day, if it's dark, I know it's because I am not drinking enough.

Yep, ask the doc, while it is certainly possible that your Vitamins are doing it, get checked to make sure. Also TEST to see how much Water you really ARE getting. Set a goal, like 40 or 60 ozs and fill a jug up to that amount and pop it in the fridge. Make sure you drink it ALL over the course of the day, that way you are not guessing how much water you are taking in.

      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.
