I'm drinking water but not urinating??



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done on June 15, 2017 and even though the first 2 weeks were ruff, I'm slowly doing much better. I find myself drinking over 64oz a Water each day and only using the bathroom maybe once or twice. Is the common? Should I call the doctor? Is this serious?

Kidney problems can crop up suddenly. I'd go ahead to an ER and get checked out. If you're dehydrated they can give you some fluids, but they can do a quick blood test to check your kidneys while they're at it.

What color is your urine?

I 2nd going directly to the ER, please don't wait, it's better to find out, kidney function is nothing to take chances on. Good luck and keep us posted.

Well it is 100 degrees here and I am retaining Water. My urine is light in color as always.

The more weight I lost the less I urinate because my bladder has so much more room, it holds a lot more. I urinate for what seems like forever now. Also not diabetic anymore either, far fewer bathroom trips period.

At least 4 bathroom trips a day is a good rule of thumb.. that's really not many! Once when you wake up, once at bedtime, and just twice all day.

Once a day means she wakes up and pees, but doesn't go again until the next morning. That is VERY concerning, no matter how big her bladder is.

      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.
