Perkiest I've felt since surgery today....1 am!
wow I neede a lot of sleep! Possibly since I've been awake in the middle of the night a bunch this last week. Was getting in some sipping but only managed to start the walking just now. And why didn't anyone tell me I wouldn't be able to pee 😉. Managed 100 ml just now and feel like the queen of the world! 😃😃. Thanks to all of you for your helpful posts on what it would be like. I felt very prepared (except for the pee thing - so watch out for that future sleevers).
if you had surgery this week call your surgeon this minute it is not uncommon for your kidneys to shut down during surgery
and you are probably very dehydrated you need to drink 2000 ml a day
call your surgeon now they have someone on call 24/7
Agree about the pee thing -- that totally surprised me. The nurse had to turn the shower on and leave me alone for 45 min. I was afraid of the catheter! I think I slept about 18 hours a day the first few days at home. Things are pretty much back to normal for me now -- and i don't have NEARLY the same trouble sipping or drinking. It's not as much of a fight anymore to get everything down (or get the pee out!)

I was in the hospital at this time where they were monitoring my output and said that it was very common - after this point it ramped quickly back up to normal. Now it is a part of my sipping and walking routine - I sip for 20 minutes, then walk, then on every third walk or so, I stop for quick pee - gives me something different to do :-)
