Kinda yuck- smelly urine?



Recommended Posts

Not that urine ever smelled great before surgery, but since my surgery on Tuesday my urine smells disgusting!!! Is this because I am not getting enough liquid? I am terrified of being dehydrated. Any insight would be appreciated!!

in other good news I have lost 10 pounds!!!

From what I've heard, it's a combination of dehydration and the calorie reduction. If you've been focusing on Protein, your body is going in a carb-starved state called "ketosis" which results in halitosis and smelly urine...lol!

Possibly, is the urine dark? It can also be medication, or something in the Protein Shakes you are drinking. I have an allergy medication that makes my urine smell, Anything with Guaifenesin makes my urine smell. Asparagus makes my urine smell, I am very sensitive to urine smell apparently he he. Shoot for your 64oz the best you can, watch your urine color and plug your nose for now :-)

dehydration+ketosis+bvitamins= super smelly pee....

BUT, on the plus side if you are taking a LOT of b-Vitamins, your pee will be a fun neon yellow!

Just wait until you start eating Protein all the time. Only then will you find the true meaning of smelly from gas filled rooms. Lol! Hope you have a of to blame it on. :)

Eeek I feel guilty.... I haven't had a Protein shake yet and nowhere near 64oz of anything.

But tomorrow I will shoot for both.

And today was my first day taking B12.< /p>

It's because you are in ketosis... Burning fat... It's a good thing. Google it.

I had to hold my breath in the bathroom for 2 weeks following surgery! Once I was home, it reminded me of being in the hospital (which I did NOT like, lol)!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
