If it is a dark color you need more fluids. When you are detoxing all the fat and crap we have stored inour bodies all these years, woman are tend to get a lot of UTI. I would either go check your k-tones or go to the doctor and see if you have an UTI and just to make sure evreything is ok.

I noticed that my urine and my breath smelled really bad and my Surgeon told me it was the Anastigia, they have to pump all that gas in you to make you fall asleep, it takes a while to come out. That was my experince with that.

Is it stronger shortly after you take your vitamins? The B-family of vites is what has "that vitamin smell" more than any others. If you think it is dangerous or it changes, of course see your doc.

Hello , I am 10 months out as of Jan. 2 nd. For the first 3 months I had the smelly discolored urine. My Dr. said it was normal and would pass. I was about 5 - 6 months before it finally and totally went away. If you still feel uncomfortable about please speak with your surgeon he / she will tell it is normal after the surgury .

the keotones your body is giving off by having so much protein drinks will cause your urine and breath to smell bad. I haven't had surgery yet, but was trying protein drinks and when I had drank them for 2 days, my urine started smelling and then I remembered my nutrition teacher telling me that a lot of protein would cause keotosis, which causes this. When you stop having to depend on the drinks for most all your needs, the smell will stop.

Yes I have and sometimes I still do if I do not have enough liquids in me and am peeing out protein. If it is dark yellow etc..then you have not got enough liquids :) That's my experience anyways :)
