Either I'm really dehydrated or there's a lot of blood in my urine. It was dark brown. I'm going to drink more today.

Dark brown urine generally means dehydration. But since you had blood in your urine preop, this is an additional issue worthy of concern. GET IT CHECKED OUT NOW.
Get a LOT more fluids in, or you are going to belong in the ER for IV fluids within the day.

It seems to be back to a closer to normal color now...still a little bit dehydrated, but just finished a 12oz bottle of G2. And I had a chocolate sugar-free pudding cup.

How many ounces of fluids did you consume in total today? (I'd count the pudding as fluids, too, if I were doing it.)

Including the pudding cup, I guess it was about 73oz.
how is it this morning? urine is usually darker first thing...
all I can say about fluids is sip constantly.
hey, you need to change your sig line from "upcoming DS" !!:038:

Hehe. Fixed it. I'm getting my fluids in, though. Just fighting a little nausea...
