Decreased urination?

[SarahRN482 66]

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.

m dr said to sip and sip and then sip some more...its a must to do this....its vital to get Fluid into your body..as the days pass, it will get easier.....if its on your list, sf popsicles helped me during this time..(still do).......congrats on surgery......
