How many times a day do you pee?



Recommended Posts

Pre surgery--I went to the bathroom alot. My motto was "pee before you go".

Now--- I only feel like I have to go 3 or 4 times a day. Yesterday, it was 1pm before I needed to take a walk.

Is this normal? I am drinking all day long ( except with meals)

I used to drink 7 liters of Water a day, now I drink 2-3 liters a day. Yes, I still "drink all day long", but more sipping now, where I used to guzzle/gulp/consume alot more at a time. :thumbup:

I'm experiencing the same thing and I hope it is normal. I attribute it to no longer drinking caffeine. I was drinking at least a 2ltr a day of diet coke and lord only knows how much coffee.< /p>

Are you getting in at least 64 oz. of Water? You may be retaining Fluid and need to drink more Water to overcome this.

My doctor prescribed Lasix for me. I take it everyday with potassium. I do tend to retain Fluid around time for my period which I then take double the dose as instructed by my doctor.

Losing even a few pounds can change pressure on the bladder and therefore change urinary frequency. (Bladder capacity is increased.) As long as you're getting enough Fluid, this is one of the POSITIVE effects of surgery.

Oh my ... me too.

I thought I was the only one. I only have to go about 3 times a day and I do drink Water all day as well. I'm also not doing #2 as much. :w00t:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
