worried...
I had rny yesterday. After gi test this morning, was given clearence to drink 2 oz per hour. Catheter was removed at that time as well. Problem is havent really urinated yet. With IV's and fluids for almost 11 hours, would think id be going like crazy. Nurse doesn't feel its an issue, but really bloated. Worried something is really wrong. Has this happened to any of you?
Sometimes it just takes time after surgery. When it comes, the floodgates will probably open...LOL. Not with this surgery, but a different one I had, it took a little time. I am sure it will happen. Good Luck.

It is fairly common post-op to take a while. Probably most of the fluids from the IV already exited when you still had the catheter in (and sometimes they aren't running the IV at a very fast rate after surgery is over, so you aren't getting as much fluid as you think you are), and if you are only drinking 2 ounces if water per hour, there isn't much extra fluid.
Trust the nurse and relax. It will take your body a while to get back to normal functioning (on all fronts).

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
That's great. So happy didn't involve any extra measures. As for the gas and bloat, I found most of mine came out in one day.... it was a little crazy :) Keep walking, keep drinking.
