Peeing too much



Recommended Posts

12 weeks out and lately I've been noticing no matter how little I drink I feel like I need to pee I remembered in the beginning I wouldn't pee for hours. I try to hold it in for as long as I can because it's usually just the sip I just took that makes me want to GO.

I see my surgeon next week but I just was wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

Protein and low carb makes your body release Water... If you had edema, peeing is a good sign.

If you find you are drinking way more than you used to, that can be a problem... If it hurts or burns when you pee, or you feel like you can't completely empty your bladder.. Those can be signs of a uti.

On the other hand, based on what you are describing... You got used to being dehydrated, now you are able to drink more... So based on info given, probably not a problem. Be interesting to know what your doc says

Yeah I've never had a uti before so Idk how that would feel but I'm in zero pain it's just an inconvenience because I sip and it's like oh gotta pee! But I usually just hold it in until it builds up to the point that yeah its time to go haha.

I would definitely check about a UTI. If you only pee a few drops when you do go, it's highly likely a UTI. Real cranberry juice (you can Water it down) is effective to clean out the pipes if the infection isn't too far along.

You also probably shouldn't hold it. Holding it can cause problems as well.

      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.
