@ The color of our urine should be a very light honey. There are urine color charts on the net. Dehydration is one of the most serious things, we as WLS patients should be aware of, so it's good you are worried about it.

Here is a list of common symptoms to look for: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dehydration/basics/symptoms/con-20030056

How much are you drinking? Sometimes meds can change the color of urine too - so take that into consideration.

I been hospitalized because I dehydrated. I had dry mouth bad and my urine was real dark. I would check with ur dr

I was told I had to get at least 32oz of liquid each day or I could be hospitalized. I am 6 days post op and I've been getting at max 34 oz in since day 3.

@ Oh that's not nearly enough. I was required that much every 15 mins. Be careful- you don't want to end up in hospital!

The easiest way to get Water while you are that early out of surgery is by taking ice chips. Just make sure you don't swallow it accidentally.

Your dehydrated. I have been too the dry tongue is the first sign I had to force my self to get 3 bottles of water in today it's hard never was before surgery. Love the ice chip idea

sounds like you are dehydrated. if Water is an issue-try sugar free popscicles and sugar free additives for water. i am 4 months post of and i still struggle with getting enough water. :/
