Just wondering if anyone has experienced this after surgery? should I be concerned?

Big sign you are not getting sufficient fluids.

OK. thank you very much.

How much water are you getting in? Are you having any pain or discomfort in your lower back or do you feel like you have to go all the time and then it is just a trickle?

I drank a bottle of Lifewater (20 oz), an 8 oz bottle of water, chicken broth (cup) and then a large bottle of Isopure, I have good urine flow.

How many oz is an Isopure?

20

Any smell with the urine? It is usually a sign of dehydration ( need more fluid). An infection is an outside possibility, but needing more Fluid is the likely culprit. Sip, sip, sip

I am post op 10 days today, went to the er last night for bad dehydration so keeeeep Hydrated they said have some pedialite pops for the electrolytes sound like you need more fluids

That sounds like about 56oz. You should shoot for at least 64 a day. A lot of us don't make that every day, but if you don't get at least that much most days it will cause you problems eventually. If you start having pain or you see any evidence of blood or you have trouble going, make sure you let your doctor know. Congratulations on being sleeved!

Thanks y'all. Im going to get more fluids today and see if that helps.

I am also 5 days post op am dealing with the same issue! However, your Fluid intake is WAY better than mine. I'm struggling to get in any. My goal today is to mentally focus in this and get it done.

Is watered down Gatorade okay? I've heard if the pedi pops from someone else the other day, but haven't been able to find them anywhere...

You can Find pedi pops at drugstores better then a super market, also LADIES try popsicles and sorbert .

Good to know! I'll have to get over to CVS or Rite Aid... Sf Popsicles are my everything right now. It's funny because I actually had two the other day, and when I was opening my second one I couldn't help but to feel like a "little piggy"! Ha! Then I had to remind myself that they are pretty much calorie free and I need them at this point... I didn't think about eating sorbet! That's a great idea...
