Sounds like you need more water, how much are you getting? Including like sf jello, skim milk broth etc? Bowel movements could slow done because of course your not eating much, 7 weeks out I only go every 2 or 3 days but you should be peeing more and that can be an issue so if your getting plenty of fluids you might want to check with your doc

Definitely check with your doctor..are you getting in 64 oz a day?

You are dehydrated and that is very damaging to your body. You could wind up spending Christmas in the hospital unless you greatly increase your hydration and quickly. Go to a medical website like Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic and read up on dehydration and/or call your doctor's staff and tell them what is going on..

Fluids!! It's vitally important to make sure your fluid intake is adequate. Get it however u can even if u have to use sugar free Popsicles, crystal light in water, broth etc. It Is a part of healing and recovery. If u are feeling unwell please call your dr. Sometimes it's easy to forget soon after surg as the feelings to eat and drink aren't As strong. Setting a alarm can be helpful. Healing, recovery, and adequate weight loss all depends of a well hydrated body. Good luck!!

That's the thing I feel great I'm consuming more than 64 oz a day. I drink plenty of water plus my protein plus I love Popsicles

It's unusual then that you would only be urinating once a day. Do you have heart problems that might cause Fluid retention? You might run this by the doctor's staff, just to check. A laxative or stool softeners plus walking as much as you can will help everything get moving. Take good care of yourself.
