How Often Do You Pee?!



Recommended Posts

hi guys! its been almost 3 months out, and I am doing great! however, I have a hard time drinking my 68 oz of Water. I have noticed I pee like 3 x a day..... and am worried its too little! is everybody out there the same? or is it only me? Should I drink more water?

Ya...direct correlation. Drink lots. Pee lots. If you're not going a lot, that means your body is clinging to what it's getting and needs more. Generally speaking. You should be "overflowing."

Blugirl, I'm about the same as you. I don't go as often as I used to. Now I know part of it was the Water pill I was taking, but it still seems like I don't go that often. I usually get 50oz of pure water, not counting any shakes, popsicles, Soup, etc. I said I don't feel sick, dehydrated, etc and I'm still losing, so I guess it's ok.

My suggestion is to always carry Water wih you. I always have my bottle water with me any where I go even if it's for a 10min trip to the store. You would be suprise how much more water you consume that way.

Blugirl same thing here for me too! Even if I drink 64 oz of Water I am going 3 times per day!

I don't pee as much as I did in the past but I think it's also because I'm not as heavy as I was and there isn't the fat pressing down on my bladder. I'm drinking about 60oz of Water - then my shakes and tea. I use to wake up in the middle of the night several times to go and now I can sleep through the night but go a ton when I wake up.

I pee alot but I drink a lot. I am almost six weeks out and I drink 2 thirty two oz Water bottles, Protein drink, Decaf coffee, popsicles, etc.

I carry my Water bottles with me in my sachi, a ventilated lunch bag. I also have an ice pack in it so it keeps them cool.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
