Three weeks and still barely peeing

[bwohlgemuth 2]

Three weeks post surgery on my revision to a distal gastric bypass and my urine output keeps dropping. I drink 80-100oz of Water a day, but am barely peeing like I did before. scale hasn’t moved since the first week of surgery either. I’ve called the doc and they said since I’m not having problems breathing or swelling in my extremities, it’s just a stall. My pee is getting darker and it’s starting to get me worried.

I would go to the ER or another physician to have it checked out. It may not even be connected to your surgery. You are retaining Water so I am not surprised there is no weight change right now. A common cause of low urine output is dehydration, and you said your urine is dark, perhaps up your water intake in the meantime. But if you are going less than 500 ml in a day, that can potentially be a medical emergency and it may be a urinary obstruction, for example.

I would definitely go get checked out. I ended up back in the hospital with dehydration and one of things that i noticed was decreased urine output.

I was having dehydration issues the week after surgery and I’ve now switched to straight water/ice instead of my flavored water I was using earlier. Seems to have helped a bit.

I’m also having issues with my Protein (separate issue) and slowed that while I get dehydrated. Thanks for the help everyone.

I drank 1-2 Protein Drinks a day.

I figured out that it looks like I'm going to be perpetually dehydrated. I was able to get myself rehydrated, but yesterday hit it hard on the elliptical for 30 min and this morning I'm back to being dehydrated.

I’m struggling to get enough fluids honestly. I used to drink 64+ oz of Water a day, barely getting 32 most days. It’s the small sips, I used to chug water.
