So kind of a personal question



Recommended Posts

How often do u typical urinate through the day? since surgery and going back to work I maybe urinate twice a day. I drink (Maybe not as much as I should). I have a hard time having to time food and drinking. I usually always feel thirsty and will most always pick drinking over wanting to eat. Just debating if this is something I should make my doc aware of.

Not positive but I'd say you really needs to be drinking more. I pee about 4-6 times a day and that's with me struggling to get my Water in on Day 8 post op. Signs of dehydration are dry mouth, dark color urine, and prolly more. Just try to overdo for now. Good luck!

I pee up to 8 times if I manage a full 64 ounces

If I don't maybe 4 times

I think you should be looking for signs such as dark and smelly pee - means not enough Water. Mine was dark before surgery because I never drank enough. Now it's like a lite lemonade and no smell.

Talk to doc

I wouldn't go purely based on the number of times, but as already mentioned the color/odor.

I have never had issues getting in my fluids, as I usually have had at least 64oz by noon, however there are days I'll visit the restroom 2 or 3 times and others 10+ times.

But as already mentioned, it is crucial that you get the fluids and the Protein. Without either, you'll be losing slower and potentially causing other issues (especially the dehydration).

I am the same way 2-4 times. I do get close to my 80 oz but never over. I alway check color to make sure it's light.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
