Dark Urine

[apositivelife4me 189]

My urine has been dark and I know it is because I am not drinking enough Water. I am starting to put a little bit of Gatorade in my water in order to be able to drink more water. Has anybody else dealt with this issue? I certainly do not want my kidneys to fail.

Low water/fluid intake is likely the culprit, try increasing your water/fluid intake and see if the color changes (should change quickly, couple hours couple servings) if not contact your physician.

I just dislike the taste of regular Water after my surgery.

Ditto on the Water taste! I’ve been drinking Powerade zeros and iced teas (decaf homemade)

Have you tried the mio with Water? G2? Gotta drink. If not you’ll have some issues. Headache, lethargy, etc...to begin with

Try hint Water. There is no sugar or sweet taste but it has just enough of a hint of fruit flavor afterwards. Its amazing. So far ive had the watermelon, blackberry, strawberry kiwi and pineapple. The pineapple was my least favorite but none were bad. Good luck!

I do Mio and Water. Also coworker who had rny turned me onto peach tea crystal light mixed with Syntrax lemon tea Protein Powder. Yum!! Also even if you do Soups etc that still counts towards your liquids

what i am doing is mixing Water with regular Gatorade. I bought a lot of Gatorade so I will use it for my water. Thank you everyone for your responses.

Dark urine is never a good sign.

Please keep in mind that there is no substitution for pure Water.

Are vitiamins contributing to the dark colour?

No I am not taking Vitamins right now. I ordered some from Amazon and they will arrive at the end of the week. There are days when I dont drink hardly any liquids.

Drink more. You’re putting yourself at risk by dehydration. Buy some sugar free juice to mix in if it gets your liquids in.

Since you are struggling with weight loss, you really shouldn't be having liquid calories. There are so many no calorie options out there ....
