Using the restroom



Recommended Posts

I have been reading on here since I got approved , and I never read how hard it is to go to restroom , I am post op one day far , and I feel like I pee like a old man , stop and go , is there a reason for it or am I the only one who is having that problem

If you have been taking opiate based pain medications, they can interfere with all bodily functions...I really dislike taking them for that reason. It makes everything in me seem to "shut down".

I'm pleased to read that you are doing better now...

Do they put Catheters in women?

I didn't have one. They had me go to the restroom before I could leave the hospital on surgery day.

Im guessing you are or should be on an all liquid diet.

I must have read it wrong, I thought you where going to much.

I had a catheter and my nurse joked with me, she told me if I gave her any s%^t she'd pull it out while still inflated!

Had the same issue. I finally toward the end of the day after surgery I was able to give them enough it made the nurses happy. The night after surgery I had an ulta sound and the nurse said she might have to use a cath. As a guy tht is not something you want done without anesthesia. Never had one put in while awake, but have been told it is not pleasant. Removing when one is awake is an eye crosser for sure.

My grand children are convinced that I have an alien in my stomach because of the Crazy and weird voices.

Not much of a burper either.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
