Sometimes it takes the anesthesia a little longer to wear off sounds like your bladder hasn't gotten the memo. Run some Water and sit there you'll be able to go.

Yeah, the catheter can cause your urethra and bladder muscles to become lazy, so its pretty common. That's why they want it out of you as soon as possible.

You might also find when you go home that you have a weak pee stream for a few weeks. This is totally normal too and fairly common. Just wanted to let you know so you're not surprised by it. :)

I had the same problem. I never felt like I had to pee during my hospital stay.. I never really ever even thought about it, so I would have to make it a point to remember to go. When I did, it would take forever for anything to happen.. and then when it finally did, it was soo slow! Oh my god, it literally felt like it took forever.. I'd say at least 10 minutes. By day 2, it was a little better and then day 3 it was back to normal again.

Yes I had this. They had to give me catheter of some kind. Basically just released the urine. Next morning I was fine but hated that feeling. Not the catheter part but not being able to pee by yourself.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
