Decreased urination?



Recommended Posts

Today is post op day 4, and I've noticed over the past couple days, my urine output has dropped off dramatically. It honestly has since I had my surgery on Tuesday. Prior to my surgery, I was peeing continuously on the liquid diet. I know I haven't been drinking as much Fluid as I was pre op, but I swear I only peed twice all day yesterday and maybe 3 times today, and I've drank over a liter of Water today, plus other stuff!

Anybody else notice this issue too??

Minimal intake for women should be 2.2 liters. A decrease in urine output is the result of negative intake. I know it's hard..but drink more :) Try sipping throughout the day continously. Drink Protein Shakes for added Fluid intake etc.

A good rule of thumb is if your urine isnt almost clear to barely pale yellow, you're not drinking enough.

My doctor said I had to drink 1 ounce of Water every 15 minutes.. I had the same problem just one day and after that I really kept my eye on my intake. As long as your output is light in color you know you are getting enough fluids.

      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.
