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.

Jeez! I was peeing like a FOUNTAIN after surgery!

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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
