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.

      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.
