I was banded on 10/10/07. Yesterday, I went shopping for about an hour and a half. I drank SOME water while we were shopping but not as much as I should have. Once I returned home though I made sure I stepped up the liquids. Since then, my urine has been dark yellow/almost orange at times. Should I be concerned? My doctor recommends three sips every 15 minutes.:help:

3 sips every 15 minutes ! WOW. I am no Dr. but the darker the urine usually means you need more fluids. Can you drink more Water? If You can I would. I myself have never had a problem with water drinking. I have never heard of 3 sips in 15 minutes. You would never get enough water in a day that way.

( This is just my opinion)

Dark yellow/orange urine is a sure sign that you're not drinking enough Water. My doc told me to sip slowly at first, and then take bigger sips until it became uncomfortable, to know quickly I can drink. Heck, now, I can just about chug-a-lug water as much as I want. Just take it easy, don't take too big of swallows, but you need to be trying to get in at least 64 ozs of water every day.
