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.
