Does this deserve a call to my dr?
Or can it wait until next week at my appointment? Just a few minutes ago (8:15 pm) was the first time today that I went to the bathroom. I drink all day long-water, water with crystal light, my smoothies with protein, unsweet decaf tea with splenda. I have gained 3 pounds of the 40 I have lost-(that's not dr calling info I know....just ticks me off) the bathroom thing has been going on since about a week after I came home from the hospital on 11/14/07). I'm going to start eating sugarfree popcicles again to see if that helps. Got any other suggestions? Should I call the dr or wait? Is it really that big a deal or am I worrying for nothing?

I would call the doc to be ont he saf side. They would prefer that you call and it be nothing then not call and it be something.

I think your doctor deserves a call on this - you should be able to tell him approximately how many ounces of liquid you drank and how much came out and when and that will indicate to him if there is a problem or not. Also have you noticed any swollen fingers or ankles etc- you could be retaining water and there are many causes of that. It is not a silly thing to call him for - he needs to know these things...

Good am Lori - definitely call your doc with concerns you might have. Everyone's situation is different. It could be a wide variety of issues. Hope that you get things resolved. Keep us posted! All best...
