Urgent care. Does the urine have a foul odor or dark in color. The fact you have to urinate all the time and it burns is a sign. You can purchase azo over the counter for the pain until you get abx, but it will turn your urine red or orange and note the will be unable to dip the urine in office for a quick result if you have a uti. We always asked pt to call us before taking anything like that. Call your surgeon I'm sure he will call you in something.also note along with abx some cause yeast infection so have them call you in diflucan too. Hope this helps. Make sure you don't start a fever....

Your not weird..at least it was protein...I'm trying to eat protein and every time it get nauseous and my stomach hurts even though I pureed it I think it may still be to thick.. Iggy. See I'm the weird one..lol

It seems like as long as it's on my list of approved foods I can tolerate it in small amounts. I've eaten everything from eggs to tacos. I just can't eat a lot at one time. Don't even wanna eat, I just know I have to.

I thought it was just me...my pouch hurts when I eat or drink. I drink slow and eat slow I am on puréed food but it still hurts. I am trying to get my 89 grams of protein by drinking and eating. Plus 100oz of liquids. I'm 4 days out.
