I just had my follow up call with my nutritionist yesterday and one of the first questions she asked was "is your urine the color of lemonade or apple juice?" If if is apple juice, it is time to be worried and drink, drink, drink. She said you should have a Water bottle glued to your hand and sip, sip, sip all the ding-dong day. Well, she didn't really say that but that is what I feel like I'm doing!

Good luck!

Yes that should be your main job right now fluids. And it will seem like a full time job too. But I've seen so many people end up in the ER just to get rehydrated.. I would hate for that to happen to you! It's hard but just keep drinking

Oh and measure out your liquids and make little goals like 2 oz every 10 to 15 minutes if you need to good luck to you

My Urine has been the same. I thought it was part of the catheter they removed from down there because the nurse told me my pee might be discolored for a few days
