Am I dehydrated ?

[PEGGO 107]

Hi. I don’t know if I’m dehydrated . I usually have bladder control problems

but at the moment not passing much urine , and have stomach ache and not feeling very well . Its not such a nuisance ! but I’m not sure it’s good either . Does anyone else have this ?

Try to drink more Water and electrolyte beverages then check your urine color (the lighter the better)

Good Luck 💜

I agree with the post above..try liquid with electrolytes and sip, sip, sip. I would also call my Dr office if it concerned me just to make sure it’s not something else.

Thank you Greentea. My urine is dark greeny brown ! 😳I THINK it could be one of my tablets , which is also that colour . Does milk count as a liquid to help with dehydration ?

No if your urine is that dark... Light & clear fluids for a while like:

But please reach out to your team immediately

Normal for some people maybe

BUT

This may all be related to dehydration... but no one on here can diagnose you. Please email call your surgeons office immediately (if you can) and tell them everything

Vitamin Water zero, Gatorade zero, some types of regular bottled water, Propel Fitness water. Be sure to check the labels for sugar content as some are lower than others.

Thank you MeepMeep. Have just ordered some. I think we have different names for things here, I’m in the U.K. Are you in the U.S. ?

I drink a large low sugar Gatorade a day or pedialyte. That helps.
