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.

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
