has anyone experienced smelly pee?

I was sleeved a month ago and since then my urine has a very strong smell which has gotten worse with time.

      Ketosis is known to make urine (and breath) smell bad. Ketones are passed in your urine. You may want to have tests to check that you are simply in ketosis and not experiencing ketoacidosis.

      Also make sure you're not dehydrated, that can make your urine smell much stronger.

    Protein can do that but so can a systemic infection. Any pain or burning? - get checked for your own peace of mind :)

    Hubby has APkD so smelly pee is a specialty for us due to risk of infection. If your on Protein drinks it could be that as its common here but any ouchies then get checked.

    Congrats on sleeve, I meet surgeon tomorrow and hopeful of March surgery date.

    My pee has progressively gotten stronger, but I am not in pain and am in ketosis. It's almost as strong as asparagus pee
