Urination question

Hey guys! Lovely topic I know but I have a question. From the first time I went after surgery yesterday and continuing into today I don't have a steady stream til done. I go a bit then stop, go again and stop. Is this normal for after surgery?

    Thanks guys...finally peeing in a normal stream now...didn't have a catheter unless they did it after I was out. That was really strange for a bit.

Same here, Until the anesthetic and heavy pain meds wore off, peeing was definitely different.

Ditto, it was like my old people patients at work who start and stop the entire time they go and I never understood. Its jsut because we don't have a ton of fluid rushing out so it comes in spurts more slowly. As long as we are going we are good:) I will say that I'm on day 6 and mine as regulated somewhat.

Did you have a catheter? I'm pre-op so I don't know if catheters are the norm with this surgery or not. But I had them with my c-sections and that's what peeing is like for awhile after they're removed.
