Actually' date=' all the Water they tell you to drink dilutes your urine. Those "cleanse" things just try to mask the fact that you drank all the water.[/quote']

By adding B Vitamins to keep your urine yellow and electrolytes to mask that your urine is diluted.

Usually also creatine because that's a good indicator if your urine is diluted. Many of those "detox" pills have creatine.

they did it like a week before my surgery. no one told me what they were testing for but i asked and she confirmed it was to make sure i was not on any drugs and to catch the carbon in my blood if i was a closet cigarette smoker.

Just make sure you tell the surgeon and anesthesiologist when they ask- be honest. You can NOT get in trouble for drug use with your doctor- it is confidential. I highly doubt it will interfere with your surgery since you have stopped, but they need to know, especially anesthesia, because of possible drug interactions.

I didnt get tested but the anesthesiologist did ask me (a few mins before surgery) if i did any recreational drugs in the past month. I lied and said no, I didnt want to risk them calling off the surgery. I was sure I was gonna die right there on the operating room table!!!! But, I survived! I would NOT reccommend it though! I was so freaked out!!! Im stupid, I know :(

Nope... You will be good. Trust me I should know
