Hey guys! Lovely topic I know but I have a question. From the first time I went after surgery yesterday and continuing into today I don't have a steady stream til done. I go a bit then stop, go again and stop. Is this normal for after surgery?

I'm 10 days post op. As for me, this happened to me as well. I would say give it time. Mine went away within a week post op. Hope it helps.

Same here, Until the anesthetic and heavy pain meds wore off, peeing was definitely different.

Ditto, it was like my old people patients at work who start and stop the entire time they go and I never understood. Its jsut because we don't have a ton of Fluid rushing out so it comes in spurts more slowly. As long as we are going we are good:) I will say that I'm on day 6 and mine as regulated somewhat.

Did you have a catheter? I'm pre-op so I don't know if catheters are the norm with this surgery or not. But I had them with my c-sections and that's what peeing is like for awhile after they're removed.

Thanks guys...finally peeing in a normal stream now...didn't have a catheter unless they did it after I was out. That was really strange for a bit.

      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.
