Are there any men since being sleeved use the bathroom less than before. I swear I could possibly go all day and not even take a piss. Before the fact I was using the bathroom at least once an hour. I drink Water all day and still don't have the urge to pee. Are there any men experience this.

I'm sorry, but I'm a female too and I have the same thing going on. I have been struggling to get my output up because my Dr. says that this whole process is really dependent on being hydrated...

Same here....not a man....hardly go at all. My blood work showed my BUN was elevated and my doc says I have to drink more Water (which is hard but I'm trying) but literally if I saved it up all day, I bet I go less than 8 oz.

Remember peeing like a normal person? I'm amazed every time I'm in a public bathroom and here other woman going (gross I know)..but I notice this now.

Just had my sleeve done on Monday (30), had trouble going the first day or two but it wasn't because i didn't have any, I ended up needing a cath. which relieved 1400cc at one time, since then been going every couple hours and a fair amount each time, I don't what to suggest to you but I know that if your eating things like Soup that have alot of salt you will retain fluids like crazy. becareful of your salt intake.

I know that this is the men's room but I just wanted to chime in because I've noticed a difference too. Pre-op I would regularly go four or five times a day. Now eight weeks out I rarely go more than twice. I'm drinking the recommended amount of fluids and I don't eat much of anything with salt in it. I just think it's one of those weird side effects of surgery.

I'm not having any problem going to room. I don't go as often since I can't drink a whole bottle of Water in one swoop. I'd say I go 4 or 5 times a day. That's about the only way I know if I'm hydrated or not.

Keep in mind that a lot of fluids come from food, not just liquids. Eating less with cause less urine.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
