Hi everyone,

I had my surgery on June 25th. I will be seeing my surgeon again next wednesday and I will know exactly what I have lost, cause I didn't weigh myself in my scale before the surgery and I have no idea where I started on that scale, but the fact of the matter is that I have not lost anything at all in the last 10 days almost. It is very frustrating. I know I'm in recovery and that should be my main concern, but I am eating as I should and drinking as I should (that one is the hardest) and nothing. It is very, very frustrating. Any advice or reassurance?

Also, when I was in the hospital, I got a UTI from the foley. I was on antibiotics until a couple of days ago and even though i am drinking almost 75 oz a day i am not peeing very much, which has me a bit worried. I was on hardcore antibiotics at the hospital and on pill ones for 10 days so I shouldn't still have the infection, so I was wondering if anyone might have had this problem as well....

Thanks in advance, I'm quite worried....

I bet you lost a few pounds but you just can't see it yet. Especially since you haven't weighed yourself.

Just to be on the safe side, call the doctor's office about your problem urinating.

I also got a UTI from the catheter at the hospital and it took 2 months and 3 rounds of antibiotics to knock it out. Now I have chronic kidney stones. My doctor (the kidney stone specialist) told me to drink at least 100 oz of water a day. Are you getting plenty of protein and low carb? that will help you pee more too and will help you lose some of the water weight. Hang in there.
