Pee Volumes

day two post opp the nurse kept asking me to try and pee. i'd go to the bathroom and stand there for 10 minutes with that plastic thing ready to pee in it.. but no go. although the weird thing was it felt like i was peeing. lol. the nurse was a little concerned and brought out some kinds of machine and turned it on and took another piece and kept moving it around my bladder. she was calling out numbers that were a reference to how much liquid was in my bladder.

i'd look in the plastic thing and there would be a couple of drops in it.

then night of of day 1 post opp, i got up and went in there and was able to get out about 400cc of pee. felt like a million bucks. then morning of day 2 i got up and dropped 700cc's, then a few hours later 800cc's. man. i didn't notice the bloating feeling i had. but after a while the flow was on.

thank god.

night 5 post opp - i had a feeling that i hadn't pee'd all day. then, i got up and stood above the toilet and finally went.

now, i'd say, i'm back to normal.

what have your experiences been?

I found I went on my own like normal, only the urine was very dark and thick. It was like that for about 5 days. I was told it's due to lack of fluids. I wasn't drinking enough water. I'm fine now.
