I hope you feel better soon. I've had 2 uti's since surgery, after a lifetime of zero uti's. I'm sure it's a dehydration problem for me, so I'm going to tell you to drink your Water. ;)

I know it's unusual for guys to have a UTI but lucky me managed to have it twice when I was younger. Definitely call the doc. UTIs can get stupid nasty in a hurry. Hope you feel better soon.

Hi,

I'm 14 weeks post op and a couple of weeks ago I had been dealing with dizziness and severe fatigue for several days. My doctor's office told me to go to urgent care, and urgent care sent me to the ER.

After lots of tests, they found out I was dehydrated and had a UTI. I was at the ER all day on IV fluids. Most likely, the UTI was brought on by the dehydration. I thought I was getting in plenty of liquids.... not the case.

It is so important to get those fluids!

Sorry to hear about your UTI... hope you feel better soon, and remember to drink, drink, drink!

      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.
