My Bladder Signal Seems Gone



Recommended Posts

For the past two days I have been drinking at least 64 ounces and I don't have to pee. If I sit on the toilet I will go but I only go to the toilet because I realize I haven't all day .......what's the problem? 14days post op

That's so weird! I've been noticing the same thing. I have always had, I guess, a large bladder but now I'm drinking 5 times as much Fluid as I used to. I don't know why I never get the urge to go. I plan on asking my doc at my next appt.

That is SO what I was thinking 1 hour ago after I had to remind myself lol. I have been sipping from hour 1 of waking until now and it's not adding up. Follow up appointment is on Wednesday, I will ask the doc and try to remember to post back here! :)

Just my experience, but for a couple months post-op I either felt like I couldn't pee unless I sat there a long time and pushed, or I didn't have to go all day. Part of it was due to the anesthesia, which took quite a while to work it's way out of my body, and part was my body holding on to Water to facilitate fat metabolism. Weird.

I noticed this yesterday at work. I would usually go quite a few times but since this surgery, I went to the bathroom 2 times to pee in 10 hours. Lol. I go if I go in there but I don't have the urge to go anymore....glad I am not alone! Lol

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
