I'm nearly 6 weeks post op and I have always been a Water drinker. 6 to 8 glasses per day and it's always been water in - water out. Since surgery, I still drink 60-80oz per day but I've noticed that I don't urinate nearly as much as I used to and when I do, it's darker than you would expect from drinking so much. It used to be pretty much clear and now it's a darker yellow. Has this happened to anyone else?

I've had this issue too... been wondering what's up. If I remember correctly, I think we may have had the same date. (6/25?) When I was in the hospital I had problems peeing and sat in the bathroom for an hour at times and couldn't produce anything but still felt the urge. The doctor wasn't too concerned. It's not as bad now but I'm only going 2-3 times a day now instead of my normal 4-5 and yes, it's much darker. I feel like I've been doing pretty well on my Water intake also. Maybe not 64oz, but getting close to it. And I wasn't a water drinker before, maybe had 30-40oz a day and drank lots of soda. Water is about the only think I drink now and I usually don't even flavor it with anything anymore.

I've been wondering this myself! I'm drinking a lot more Water than I used to, but yet it still comes out darker than when I was drinking soda all the time! Hope someone has an explanation for it.

I guess then this must be the new "normal" for us? I was sleeved the same day as you were and I suppose there are a lot of changes we'll go through as a result of this procedure. Thanks a bunch for replying!

I've been telling myself that the darker color is associated with the amount of fat and toxins my body is burning and excreting?

More Protein you take in can make your urine darker you have protein markers in it normally so we intake a lot more protein and a lot less other stuff so we have more protein in our urine which makes it darker.

That’s what I was told anyway lol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
