May I ask why everyone is so scared of a catheter?? Is there something I'm missing?

Just curious...

I did not have a catheter but sure wanted one! The first night was awful! I had my surgery at 1:00 p.m. and up until 4:00 a.m. the next morning I was dry heaving so much I would wet the bed! Plus I had to use the bathroom so badly that I couldn't wait for the nurse to come unhook me! If offered, I would gladly accept one!

I have had several over the years for various surgeries/procedures and none of them have ever hurt. Good luck!

Well I could say don't worry... That will be the least of your pain! But I'm feeling nice today!!

Hehe..

I had one.. but the thing is they put it in after I was out and they removed it before I woke up

Easy! No big deal...

I wasnt as concerned about pain because I knew Id have a 'magic button', I was more concerned with urinary tract infections.

My word your young!! Well then you get the extra extra nice me!

It will be fine if you doctors use one its going to be a very minor and quickly removed thing.

Actually I didn't even know I had one until the nurse told me if you don't pee soon then we are putting it back in!

I did. I'm the biggest baby ever. It didn't bother me at all. Except I could feel it when I walked. It didn't hurt though.

      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.
