Fluid intake post-op (1 week)

Guys, I am 9 days post-op and it seems like everyday it is getting easier to drink.  I can sip until content but have yet to pu**** where it came back up or I felt sick,  It just feels like I drink more and more.  Almost like it going right through me.  Is this a common experience?  Is this the result of swelling going down?  Just wondering On a side note I am starting to get my urine to pre-op colors which was almost clear.  Immediatly post-op I was peeing the darkest yellow possible.  Also I am getting so stir crazy, I see the doctor next Monday afternoon which he said he would probably clear me for work then, but I think I am going to go in Monday.

Your second paragraph is a little confusing.  Which Monday are you going to go where?  After reading it over, I think you are saying that you plan to go to work a week earlier than your doctor has told you.  I strongly advise against that unless you get clearance from your doctor.  He may give you that clearnce through a phone call, but I really think you should see him again before going back to work.  Walk around some more.  I know it's cold, so you may just want to walk around in a mall if you are getting too antsy.  Has your doctor restricted body movements such as bending or twisting your torso?  I assume you have limits on what weights you can lift.  Don't exceed them.  Staying home another week will give you more time to heal and gain strength throughout your whole body.   One more thing, if you didn't have a flu shot this year, be careful in public because you are more vulnerable following you WLS just because your body is weaker.

I'd like to give you the benefit of my experience and offer you up a straight answer filled with useful information and reassurance, but I'm pretty sure the newly re-instated and rigidly enforced man rules limit me to the following: Be a man. Grab your nutsack. Don't be a ***** And, take that **** to another board.

I ment I have a doc appointment this Monday in the late afternoon.  It is at this meeting that the Doc will release me to work.  I am thinking about just going to work  Monday morning (not physical job) and just see the doctor after work.  By then I will be 13 days post-op

 

Secondly, didn't think this was a female type post (which i can't stand) just a question.

It's not a female type post. Whatever that is. I'm just firing shots at random, cause I'm not clear on where the dividing line is between legitimate topics and vaginal excretions. Since my screen isn't one of those scratch and sniff models.

Liquids do tend to "go right on through." You’ve guessed it dead on the money. As the swelling from surgery goes down, The pouch is handles more volume much easier. So yep, typical experience. Your urine going back to more clear is the result of less "Waste" in the system. Kepp getting in your vitamons and plenty of water> Urine will be bright from the vitamins but not ‘dark’ from waste and dead cell tissue being processed. Yes? Hang in there with the "stir crazies." It gets easier when you fold your life back into the mix. Congratulations on a smooth "take off." Keep it Up! Best Wishes- Dx
