Someone wrote about taking in tons of fluids pretty close to post-op and how they aren't peeing a ton. Got me thinking. I'm about 3.5 weeks out and also not "going" that often, whereas before I had to go all the time. I've been hitting all my Fluid and Protein goals within the first week no problem, and when I do go it's a normal color, not dark or brownish.

Just curious if there is a "normal" range people remembered when you start having to go again? (As I sip my 24 oz Water here, about to head out for a walk and wondering if I'll have to "go" mid trip!)

I'll be very interested in these replies bc I have same issues.

I still go pee before I head out for my walk ...but I never seem to have that urge. It's like my bladder grew in capacity! My hubby loves not having to stop as often as we used to on road trips!!

I noticed the same thing happening with me. My nutritionist said that it might be that I am strictly drinking Water now where in the past I had carbinated drinks and artificially flavored drinks which cause irritation in the bladder and more frequent urination.

I had mentioned it in my post, but it resolved the 2 bad day after surgery. Like others mentioned I think it was all the pain medicine in me. Today is my 3rd day out and I'm just very sore and slow going.

I've been good about hitting my Water goals, and I'm drinking about the same or a little bit less than I did pre surgery. I do think I'm going less frequently than I did before but also my urine is darker than pre surgery. I can't figure out why! I'm definitely getting my water in, I shouldn't be dehydrated.
