Bladder infection post op anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone: I'm about 7 weeks post op and the last 2 days I feel like I'm getting a bladder infection - stinging when I urinate and almost light spasms in the bladder. (Have never had a bladder infection so I'm only guessing).

Anyway: has anyone had anything like this after surgery?'

I'm trying to drink alot and I bought some cranberry tablets today. Thanks everyone.

Not since I have been sleeved but oddly enough when I had my lap band it seemed I would get a bladder infection a lot!

The cranberry tablets is what I use to do along with the azo standard and lots of Water.< /p>

If it last over a day or so you should go in to the doc.

Hope you feel better soon.

I have a bladder infection right now. I get them frequently. If you truly have one, the cranberry pills won't get rid of it and neither will cranberry juice. You need anitbiotics or it can go into your kidneys.

Oregondaisy: do you have any idea why the bladder infection? Is it related at all to having the surgery? I can't imagine it would be but I've never had a bladder infection before. Thanks.

Hydration would be my best guess. I have gone from drinking 200 oz of Fluid daily preop to struggling to hit my 64oz. I have to pay close attention to the color of my urine, it should be very diluted almost looking like Water and I have days where it is dark yellow and I have to really up my fluids those days. Good luck!

Wannalise: thanks. Yes and pre-op we were probably eating/drinking so much that we forget how much Fluid we were taking in. I too am very much struggling with getting the fluid in right now (post op). I'm off to the Dr. today to see if this really is a bladder infection - as I said, I've never had one before. BTW: I was sleeved by Dr. Aceves one day before you (March 24, 2010)...

Trish,

I see you live in Phoenix. I am coming to Mesa in June. My dad died and I still have his house there that I have to take care of.

Would you be interested in getting together?

Trish!

That means we had to have been there at the same time. How funny! I hope your doctor finds a way to help you feel better. Good luck.

I also have struggled with bladder infections my whole life. Listen to Oregondaisy... go to the doctor and get antibiotics. Most stuff just masks the symptoms allowing things to get really bad. There are different kind of bacteria that cause infections. Some can be squelched with the antisceptic qualities of cranberry and some are actually fueld by cranberry. You need to pee in cup girl!!!!!

Didn't take any chances - went to doctor today and I'm on antibiotics - just keep wondering how in the heck did I get a bladder infection when I've never had one in my life - and only 7 weeks after surgery. Whatever..... - OregonDaisy - as your date to come to Phoenix area gets closer let me know - Summer I'm in and out - feel for you coming to this area in June - HOT as I'm sure you are aware. Doctor told me to drink "lots of cranberry juice" - I told her that I'm not too crazy about the sugar content in C.Juice so I'm using about 25% c.juice and 75% Water. Thanks everyone for your posts ---

EEK!!! Poor thing!!!

Can you make it like a slurpee/slushie? Pour some juice in the blender with ice and maybe a squeeze of lemon and a splenda?? Then maybe you would like it better? Oh and are you using the 100% pure Cranberry juice and not the juice cocktail?

I made the mistake once and bought the juice cocktail and it tasted better but didnt really help the issue that I was having.

Shouldnt be long now though, before you are feeling better now that you are on antibiotics!

Hang in there!!

Post menopausal women get them because the skin around the area of the urinary tract thins out.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
