I am 7 days post op and the first few days i was not getting anywhere near enough water because it hurt so bad to swallow. However the last three days i have been better getting at least 40oz and today doing well but i have no been peeing! I realized this morning i only peed twice yesterday last time 8pm..then not again untol today at 1pm. And i didnt even pay attention until ny grabdma pointed it out. Im a little worried because i feel hydrated i have been producing a little sweat but i do keep drinking water and have been all day! I know this cant be right

That happened to me... When I realized it I was only peeing once a day. Is it really dark yellow/Orange or yellow or pretty clear. The darker it is the more likely its dehydration.

Yeah its pretty dark. But omg how much more can i drink. I literally am drinking all day long.

Talk with your doctor about it. UTI are common after rny. My doc has been on special meds after I got two UTI in one month.

Yeah its pretty dark. But omg how much more can i drink. I literally am drinking all day long.

That was my thouht too.... How can I be dehydrated? But the drinks aren't enough to flow through your body. Call the doctor.

please call the doc this doesn't sound right for any time especially after surgery

I agree make te call and make sure you tell em about your urine output. They may have you come in and have your bun and creatinine checked.

Ok folks. I called this morning and they said come in asap. So i did. They gave me THREE bags of iv fluid and while i was there i drank likr 40 ounces of water. And still it took me.forver to produce any urine. They said i was so badly dehydrated that my body was trying to play catch up and holding on to all the fluid. I know this is because the first few days i could barely swallow anything because it hurt so bad. But i should be better now and a.word to the wise they mean it when they say 60 ounces. I never drank that much before surgery but i.ssure as hell will be.drinking.at least that much!!!

That same thing happened to me... I got the same explanation too. I felt better after my ivs. Glad you went in!
