Urine Output

[landensmommy10 77]

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.

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.

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

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!
