Im still trying to work in my protein. I get my daily liquids in but I only urinate maybe 2 times a day. Is this normal. I hope this is not too much information or an inappropriate question.

Not knowing what is normal for you, my suggestion is that you contact your surgeon's office and let them know so they can decide if it is something that should be checked out.  Best of luck!

Good am MerMer,

I'm in agreement with Cindy. Its best to contact your surgeon's office to discuss with them what's normal for you. I would be prepared to let them know how much fluid wise you are taking in. That can be of some help.

NO question is TMI or inappropriate. Please do not hesitate to ask!


ALL BEST!

I did discuss this with my surgeon at my last visit. He didn't think anything was wrong with it. But for me it just doesn't seem right. If I drink all this liquid 60-80 oz a day, I would think I would use the bathroom more.

I'm comparing it to before surgery, when I was on meds for Diabetes and Hypertension and it was like I was contantly going to the bathroom. Now I don't take the meds anymore.

I dont know, just seems odd. I'm just being a worry wart.

MerMer I agree w/ all the rest w/ talking to the surgeon, I also have issues w/ going potty somedays, if your surgeon hasnt given you satisfaction maybe  discuss it w/ your PCP at the next visit or call to be seen by them.

It does seem off to me also unless you are dehydrated and your body is absorbing everything.  Track it on paper, how much you drink & how many times you go for a day or two and if it still seems off then call the surgeon again.

Hi, Being a diabetic will make you urinate more frequently, and high blood pressure meds contain diuretics as well, so prior to your stopping these meds for these illnesses you probably were use to using the bathroom alot more. If your doctor said it was fine, I wouldn't worry. I take in the same amount of fluids as you, and only urinate about 2 times a day as well so I quess our bodies need the fluids to function and absorb them. Good luck in your journey. Pam
