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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
