day two post opp the nurse kept asking me to try and pee. i'd go to the bathroom and stand there for 10 minutes with that plastic thing ready to pee in it.. but no go. although the weird thing was it felt like i was peeing. lol. the nurse was a little concerned and brought out some kinds of machine and turned it on and took another piece and kept moving it around my bladder. she was calling out numbers that were a reference to how much liquid was in my bladder.

i'd look in the plastic thing and there would be a couple of drops in it.

then night of of day 1 post opp, i got up and went in there and was able to get out about 400cc of pee. felt like a million bucks. then morning of day 2 i got up and dropped 700cc's, then a few hours later 800cc's. man. i didn't notice the bloating feeling i had. but after a while the flow was on.

thank god.

night 5 post opp - i had a feeling that i hadn't pee'd all day. then, i got up and stood above the toilet and finally went.

now, i'd say, i'm back to normal.

what have your experiences been?

I found I went on my own like normal, only the urine was very dark and thick. It was like that for about 5 days. I was told it's due to lack of fluids. I wasn't drinking enough Water. I'm fine now.

Naah, just kidding. A little dehydrated with small urine volumes in the early days...

      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.
