I just had surgery yesterday. Already at home but i am having a really hard time peeing! Has anyone else experienced this? I feel like I need to go get a catheter if it doesn't improve :(

They had to straight cath me the day of surgery because I didn't have the urge to pee after that I would go to the bathroom and sit and was able to pee but still didn't feel an urge until the following day

I was concerned about this and the nurse told me it wasn't that uncommon for this to happen

I was the same way on May 3rd. Yes it does get better. I had to stay in the hospital two nights. I felt horrible the first day. I was getting sick too but my doc gave me something to help the nausea. In am almost at week 4 and 40 lbs down since surgery. I was sad at first because I was in pain. However, by the second day, the tech had a hard time keeping up with me down the hallways because my doc wanted me to walk. I ride a bicycle for the first time in 15 years on yesterday. Just to do that again it was well worth the pain.

I'm nearly 4 weeks post op and on soft food. I have been having a lot of trouble with nausea. I spoke to my surgeon about it and he said it was due to acid in my stomach. I'm on nexium for this but I'm allowed to use gaviscon before each meal to help with this. And I'm happy to say it has!! Finally! Sorry I'm a little excited!

I just are some tuna and crackers and felt fine! And, the best part about it was there was 15g of Protein in it!

It was hurting before I even started drinking.. my nurses and p.a. said that is where they fixed a hernia.. but I think that I am drinking too fast.. its hard to get use to.. so when weighing in the day of surgery I weighed 241 and now I am 230.. I like seeing that.

      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.
