Decrease in urination?

Do our bodies absorb more of the Water now??? I have been trying my best to get the recommended 64 oz of water a day in, and typically get 48-64oz. In the past, when I drank this much water I would urinate constantly- multiple, multiple times a day. Now, not so much- maybe three times and then once in the night.

I have been wondering about this too. I have been getting all of my fluids in and never feel like I have to go to the bathroom. I do go a couple of times a day just because I know I should try but not much comes out? I am 5 days post op now. I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow and this is one of my questions.

Did you know that your body uses Water and needs it to lubricate our entire system? We are mostly made up of Water. And if we drink enough our bodies will use it. you will notice your skin and hair and even nails look and feel better...64 oz is a great amount as it is not too much because the body can actually be harmed from that as well..

I have been a true believer in water intake and can really notice it if I miss some in a day!

You need water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to your organs and tissues. Water also helps transport oxygen to your cells, removes waste and protects your joints and organs.

Cool eh!

Happened to me as well - I'm 5 months post-op and I still don't have to urinate like I used to. My doc said this is normal.

I figured since we are not getting much Water through food consumption that our bodies much be using it far more efficiently. All my pre-surgery blood work was really good so I don't think it kidney failure , but it seems quite weird to not have to go throughout the day or at least shortly after finishing a 16 oz bottle of water.
