A quite funny thing happened a few moments ago...I was sitting at the Breakfast table taking my meds and Vitamins and put my overnight pee bag on the floor. Then one of my (smaller) dogs comes out from his sleeping place and uses it as a sleeping pillow. Uh oh...no no no no.

I had this issue after childbirth. What worked for me is trying while standing up in the shower. Sorry for TMI 😬

I hope that I don't have that issue when I have my RNY revision surgery.

I think it's rather unusual to have this problem actually. At least from how the nurses looked at me about the issue. Also that and it takes me 5-7 minutes in the morning to pee even when Im normal.

Not so much a question about peeing but...I had my sleeve done on May 30th and I have already had some loose stools? Is this normal? I always hear about everyone having Constipation.

I have gone back and forth and back and forth the whole time between being loose and constipation. I think it really differs from individual to individual. (Mine is totally black at the moment btw. Hehe.) On the pre-op diet I was also back and forth as well but mostly on the loose side. So I wouldnt get too worried just yet. Just make sure to keep drinking LOTS of liquids. If Ive learned anything from from having that catheter was that I was under-drinking lots even when I thought that I was drinking constantly. (Since the pee was in a bag, you really get a chance to see how the color changes during the day.) And since you are loose, you will be losing Water a bit faster.

Since you like- he ha- prune juice, apricot juice is in the same general area, had a relative that swears by it, even eats reconstituted apricots like other people do prunes, she believes it keeps her a "Regular" woman! And who am I to argue? Now that I have lost 116 piunds, she may be able to Deck Me, used to be able to wrestle her to the floor and sit on her, have,not tried it recently! Hey smile and giggle, it drives other people Bonkers!

I had the same issue...I’m now a week postop. They did a straight catheter on me to relieve me, but then after that I was able to pee on my own. Anesthesia does some weird things...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
