What Causes Yellow Urine Post Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Question: postop gastric by pass I am on 6th week but urinals is yellowish is it loe water intake I am present ly taking around 1lt of water
Brief Answer:
Increase your water intake
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Yes dear one litre is very less amount of water for any adult and post gastric bypass you need to increase water intake even more because there is increased water loss due to smaller transit time in initial months.
Eventually your body will adapt to it but still at least 2 litres of water a day is must and right now it should be between 2-3 litres.
Also take some fruit juices daily especially cranberry juice which will have very good effect on urinary system health.
Take care
