Most likely because you need to drink more water ..how many ounces are you
getting in?

Are you downing 100 oz of water per day. I take six bottles of water an
set them out each day and by the end of the day they have to be empty. It
is hard, but you have to live with that water bottle all day and night.
Your urine will be lighter with the right amount of water.

I agree with the others my urine was dark when I was inthe hospital and
once and for a few days after surgury, I had the rny gastric bypass also.
But once I was home and drinking my water alot of water my urine did get
lighter in color considerablely. I would call your doctor to just be on the
safe side and have yourself check, but you are the one who knows what you
are putting into your body. Good luck and drink the water it is so
important to your body.

I agree with the other but also vitamins make your urine dark. Just a
thought.

I was also going to mention vitamins/meds can make your urine dark. I know
they say the more hydrated you are the lighter it is, so it can be one or
the otehr or a combination of both. Good luck!

No its not normal for your urine to be dark. You need to go see your
Doctor. You may have something going on with your Kidney.

are you drinking alot of liquid with caffine in it? Caffine does not count
as having "water" Do you still have your gall bladder? It's so
hard sometimes to figure out what our body is doing. I would contact your
Dr. from the surgery. Hope everything works out for you...Best of Luck

I was having the same problem until I figured out that the Hair, Skin and
Nail vitamin I was taking was the source of the dark colored urine. Bright
yellow is probably ok, but if you are having a muddy color urine, you
should probably consult your doctor. It may be something as easily
addressed as a kidney or bladder infection. Other posters I think have hit
the nail on the head in mentioning water intake. If you're not getting
enough, this may also be the source of the problem. Good Luck!
