Were you able to urinate before you left the hospital? How was your output?

Are you home or still in the hospital?

You could be having bladder spasms. It is important that you are able to urinate. Try to relax and give yourself a little longer on the toilet and see if you can, if you start to feel like you need to urinate and it becomes painful with a full bladder, go to the ER

Hopefully this is just temporary.

Your in my thoughts, I hope you get some relief.

One other question, are you getting in enough Fluid?

I stayed one night in the hospital and I spent most of it in the bathroom trying to pee. Every trip I literally spent 30-45 minutes, sometimes an hour because I fell asleep, on the toilet. No pain or pressure either. I've had UTIs before and I knew it wasn't that. The nurses didn't seem too concerned. It lasted like that for probably 48-60 hours post-op.

Guess that wasn't much help but at least you know you're not alone! LOL

I had the same problem for several days after surgery. I had a lot of trouble going to the bathroom. It was a scary feeling. Thank goodness it eventually got better around day 4-5.

Strong smelling urine (and dark yellow in colour) is usually caused by dehydration. However, see a Dr and have it tested! You are far better off not leaving it until other symptoms appear.

Dehydration and it doesn't take but a day or two after this surgery to get that way and dangerously so... if you have a strong smell, that could also be a result of the Vitamins you are taking since your surgery.. It could also be a sign of dehydration. You need to contact your doctor...

Needing to go but unable too is a very significant sign of dehydration.

Smelly urine is also a sign of infection. Did you have a catheter? Is your urine cloudy? It can also be a sign if pregnancy or diabetes. Get it checked out!

To OP, urinary retention is a common side effect if the anaesthetic in surgery. Hopefully it has resolved itself by now :)

Another reason urine smells is because of a lot of Protein, that is why we have to drink lots of Water....ketones makes it do that!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
