mezanne1401 190 Posted December 7, 2012 Ended up spending 4 hours in the ER this morning because of a kidney stone because of my lack of hydration. I really thought j was doing pretty good with my fluids. Obviously not. My urine looked like weak coffee. Very aggravated with myself. So, back to bed for me. Feeling like doodoo right now and so pukey!!! Keep the fluids going people!!! This is miserable!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mom2IrishTwins 63 Posted December 7, 2012 So sorry to hear that! I had a heck of a time getting my Water in during the first month too, had lots of near-fainting experiences, the shakes, etc. It gets MUCH Easier to get in your water after the first month or two. Now I can take normal drinks/gulps even and am easily able to get in 64 ounces. Hope you get well soon!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KK66 61 Posted December 7, 2012 Very cognizant of this...I keep an eye on my urine each void. If it's even slightly dark yellow, I push the fluids. Urine should be clear to light light golden color, not yellow or amber colored. I try to keep the fluids changing...from Snapple Diet Green tea to iced herbal, to Fuze to fruit 20...along with my full liquids, hopefully it will be enough. Having a salty Fluid once in a while is also good, it retains some of the fluid that you are diuresing during this critical phase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
