I felt like all I did was pee the first week (of course that's cause I was drinking as much Water as an elephant!)

I've found that anytime I've been under anesthesia and/or on pain meds, my bladder is slow to respond. I've had 2 c-sections and lap band and have had the same problem every time.

If you are unable to pee you need to speak to your Dr urgently. It is important that your kidneys are working properly. After my hysterectomy I was fine whilst on the drip but once they took it out I obviously wasn't drinking enough , therefore not peeing enough and the nurses were very concerned. I had to consciously make myself drink. You may not be drinking enough so make sure you drink the recommended amounts even if you are not thirsty. If you are drinking and still not peeing then get back to your Dr - fast.

Were you catheterized during your surgery? That can cause some residual problems a couple days after,

If you're having problems urinating I would contact your doctor immediately. It may be nothing, but it could be a urinary tract infection or even kidney issues too,

Whatever the case, it's much better safe than sorry.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
