I've had a bypass, but I think you should be drinking more than that. I'd aim for at least 1.5 litres of fluid a day

Took me ages to get my fluids. I would try sipping constantly except for 30 mins post meals or whatever you've been told. It gets easier.

The more you can get in the better. I had terrible cystitis symptoms at the beginning from dehydration.

Victoria, you genius! You've solved my mystery! I'm suffering from cystitis type symptoms, and that's probably why, I'm really struggling with drinking plenty. Mission 'drink-a-lot' begins tomorrow!

Go me!! I promise you'll feel better if you get the fluids up. It's because the urine is so concentrated apparently x
