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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
