The color of urine

[BubblesOhSoSleeved 129]

So I started my Preop diet yesterday, (still waiting on an actual date) I drink about 40 Oz Water yesterday and started to notice my urine was pale yellow by the end of the day...today I drink 48 Oz before having to "go" and noticed my urine was damn near translucent...I just drink my last 20 Oz for the day...my question is, is that healthy??? Especially for the second day of preop? I'm not really a big drinker of Water so it's a big shock to me.

Very healthy. We should all want our urine to be next to clear.

You are fine. Anytime you drink at least 40 Oz or more in water, your pee is clearer. I had mine to a point where it was clear. Just know it's a good thing.

I'm 7 weeks out and can't get fluids down enough. Urine is always amber colored

Ok, because I looked it up and it said that urine should have a tinge of yellow...but if others are experiencing this I won't worry about it ????

Clearer is better. I'm about six months post and I usually gauge how hydrated I am by the color.

People with healthy kidneys who don't have to drink like fish to stay hydrated should always have a bit of yellow. Under normal circumstances, dilute urine would indicate that your kidneys aren't working right. But for your increased Water intake you should be seeing clearer urine. Until you start taking Multivitamins with B Vitamins in it- then expect very yellow pee!

Ok thank thank you! Before I started increasing my Water intake, by actually drinking Water. It was a light yellow with settlement...now there's no yellow and no settlement lol

My urine looks pale almost every time, every day. It means your hydrated! It's completely healthy and normal. I've been drinking mostly Water for like 16 years. Pre-op diet only has made me go more often.
