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.

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 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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
