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?

could be... also ketosis can make your pee stink... oh and vitamins.. Vitamins can make pee stink... and some vitamins make it neon yellow.. that's fun too.

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!

      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.
