Is anyone experiencing more frequent urinary tract infections following their surgery. I was wondering if it is because I am not drinking enough fluids. My doctor calls it Urethritis.

I had a UTI about 3 months in -- and I'm sure it was because I had slacked off on Water prior to that. My bad.

But that got my attention, and I'm better now. And I'm REALLY better lately, since I'm eating more food (am on maintenance).

Not enough water causes ALL kinds of problems -- to start with, dehydration is the most common cause of fatigue. It also leads to head hunger, UTIs, kidney problems, liver malfunctions, constipation (and colon blockage), dry unresilient skin, brittle hair, blurry vision, etc.

Thanks for the info. I had it last January but I haven't been drinking Water. More coffee with creamers. I gave that up this week.

Are you drinking decaf or regular coffee? My plan requires me to eliminate caffeine all together because it is a diuretic and is detrimental to hydration status.

I have been drinking regular coffee with tons of sugar free fat free cream. I have now switched to black coffee. I can buy decaf. That's not a problem. Thanks for the tip

I had Sam one week out. No reassurance since.

* had same

I had one in September about 5 weeks after my sleeve and I have another one now. My dr. says she doesn't think it is related, but I maybe have had only 5 or 6 in my life before these two. I almost always getl of my Water in, so I don't know why I keep getting them now.

Sleeved on 9/5/15, prior to surgery I NEVER had a uti and now I'm working on my second one. I'm getting my fluids in without any problems. There has to be something...
