Sleeved yesterday! (15 March)



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I am not sure if this has been answered anywhere already, but I thought I would ask if anyone has any pointers about the urination frequency. I have been going about every hour for the past several Hours. Is that normal? I feel like I always have to pee!

Also, did anyone have crazy, what feels like pressure, on their bladder the day of surgery and into the next morning?

I'm thinking it's gas, and am trying to walk around as much as I can.

Thank you

It could just be all the excess IVF coming off from surgery. If you had a urinary catheter during surgery, you could have some irritation from that as well. A long as there is no pain with urination you should be ok. When in double check with your physician.

Best Wishes on your journey! Walk and stay hydrated. :)

edited to say IVF= Intravenous Fluid

My nurses were very pleased with the frequency for me. I didn't have any issues. As doingit4me2017 said, it's because you're fluids through your IV. Do you get to go home today? I had my surgery last Wednesday, when I went home, it slowed some but if you're drinking the 64 fl oz of Water, not much until you get used to it.

Had my surgery yesterday as well! I did get up a few times throughout the night to pee. Currently just have a lot of pressure on my upper stomach I think just from gas. Got to start my Clear Liquids today! Hope you're recovery goes smoothly!!

      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.
