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.

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

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!

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...

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
