I was the same way. I think we are just absorbing everything we drink. I know I was one step ahead all the time of dehydration even though I tried to drink all day long.

some days are more than others, when i notice it isn't very often I up the fluids, I know if I am peeing that I am hydrated. I think my number one goal from the beginning was not to get dehydrated. Still is. That scares me. SO drink drink drink

I know they say you don't have enough Fluid if your pee s darkish yellow. Mine is either a clear or pale. Hope dr oz is right lol

This has been my problem too, only going about 4 times a day. I went to the doctor last week because of it and also, my pee has been almost dark brown and smelly. Come to find out, I have a bad bladder infection and the dark color is from blood. He's doing a culture to make sure everything is ok.

so glad you went to the doc and got checked out. Hopefully you will be in good shape soon.

      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.
