Protein and Pee!!

I've been using either 2 protein shakes a day or a shake and a bar (about 30 grams each of whey). I also usually eat a Greek yogurt and a balanced meal. But I'm up 3+ times a night to pee. My water intake isn't excessive. I've read whey or protein can be a diuretic. I don't notice the excessive peeing during the day so much but I need sleep! Help me;)

I had a problem with frequent urination prior to my gastric bypass surgery. But that problem became much better after the operation.

What type of surgery did you have and how long ago was it? I am over 4 years post op and I did notice that drinking coffee can definitely affect this condition.

I noticed that protein shakes do make me pee a lot. Tea also sends me running back and forth to the bathroom. If i drink either before bedtime i have to give myself atleast 2 hours to rid it from my system before i try to sleep. Which is why i have to be choosy with how i drink when I'm out.
