Great! I'm 2 weeks post op and this morning I feel like I'm starting a urinary tract infection. I am uncomfortable so I took some pyridine to try to ease the symptoms. Hoping this wasn't something I'm not supposed to take. Ughhh!!

at two weeks out (im now 6) my pee turn to very very red which was a bit scarey, i think it scared the nurse more than me as she made me pee a few times to check. i call my surgeon to see if this was normal, and he said that due to the amount of gall stones i had (he removed my gall bladder in my revision from lapband to rny) that it was likely one or so stones escape and making the bleeding. he told me it was normal.. and told me to take antibiotics (which was the size of a horse pill - had to break them into 8 pieces and take them...distgusting!!!) and it cleared up after a few days.

i still get sometimes a small amount of blood in my urine but without any pain or discomfort. im not sure it this is still classed as normal ... hmmm maybe i should check it out anyway.

maybe you can find some sugar free cranberry juice to drink to help... feel good

I'm drinking no sugar added cranberry juice mixed with equal parts Water. My doctor allows us to have natural sugars. Just waiting on the doctors office to open so that I can call and maybe get something to help clear this up.

I have had 3 UTI since surgery. My obgyn said it is normal because of our decreased Water intake and we are getting rid of keytones. She gave me pills to take three times a week to help things out.

Oh you poor thing.... I would contact your surgeon and make them aware of your reoccuring UTI's. I would have extra meds on hand as well. Feel better !!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
