So I'm about a little over a month post and I'm feeling and doing great with about 52lb drop so far. I'm getting my protien and my Water in everyday but I find that my urine is DAAAAARK, I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen or if I'm living in a constant state of severe dehydration.

I'm getting about 70-90g of protien as per my Dr and 64-96oz of water... So what gives?

Check with your Dr....I had this happen and it ended up being a kidney stone....came on all of a sudden one morning and I was in the worst pain of my life for 3-4 days (after spending hrs at Dr office and getting ct scan)....worse than childbirth....worse than RNY.

Dark urine usually means its concentrated but, if you're getting in 64-90 oz per day doesn't sound like that's it. Are you drinking things with lots of color like grape koolaid? I know purple coloring can urine darker. Always best to check with your doc though.

I was on antibiotics and those caused my urine to be dark as well.

Check with your doctor. I am dealing with my 2 bladder infection this week. It is common after the surgery.

      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.
