I recently found this site and it has helped so much in the last couple of days? I am currently on day 4 of the Pre-op diet and have been having a couple of issues.

1. My urine has been really smelly and bright yellow (like neon) it?s kind of a weird color. I have been drinking about a half of gallon to a full gallon for the past week. So I know I?m not dehydrated. I haven?t even had my urine smell or look this way. If anyone has any suggestions or anything it would be helpful.
2. The smell of the protein shakes are making me really nauseous. The goal is to get three down, and I am really, really struggling. I was only able to get 2 down today, and that was really rough. I have tried watering down the protein shakes so the smell and taste isn?t as strong. It helps so I can get it down. Any suggestions would be helpful? I?m not sure why it?s making me feel so nauseous and sick.
3. Any suggestions going into this for skin retention and tightening?

Thanks in advance!

Good Morning!

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I also had similar stuff happen about 4 or 5 years after my sleeve. I had my gallbladder removed and had gallstones. Are you feeling better?

@hollykim: I like the way you made it straightforward in your reply. It's super simple to eat clean, but not necessarily easy.
