Urine

I'm drinking water all day and when I use the bathroom my urine is really dark in color. It seems as if its showing signs of dehydration. Has anyone had problems with this.

Same here

It can be dehydration or your blood sugar. Are you a diabetic ? Do you take any types of meds? High blood sugar causes dark urine, also if you're just post op, all the fluids in the IVs they give you can be clearing thru ur system.

I had my surgery march 26th. I'm not a diabetic or take meds. Could it possibly be the type of vitamins I take.

I notice that my urine is dark right after I take my vitaimins.

The rest of the day, if it's dark, I know it's because I am not drinking enough.

Yep, ask the doc, while it is certainly possible that your vitamins are doing it, get checked to make sure. Also TEST to see how much water you really ARE getting. Set a goal, like 40 or 60 ozs and fill a jug up to that amount and pop it in the fridge. Make sure you drink it ALL over the course of the day, that way you are not guessing how much water you are taking in.
