I noticed recently that my pee is a little stinky. Could this be another sign of not enough Water? Peeuuu. Sorry if its TMI. Anyone else have this?

Vitamins! If I have a day where I forget to take them, I have noticed that smell goes away!! Also if you eat low carbs, and are in ketosis, that's another reason for the odd smell.

Vitamin B will give it a neon yellow color initially and also an odor...but the more Water you drink throughout the day, the less smelly and yellow it becomes. If your urine is stinky all day, that is a sign of not enough fluids and really does not have much to do with the Vitamins. My urine is normally VERY neon the 1st pee of the day after I have taken my vitamins, but then I go about once an hour due to how much water I drink and by lunchtime, it is nearly clear and odorless ;) Working in the lab at my office, I see many urine samples come through...and I can tell who drinks fluids and who doesn't...ICK!

      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.
