April 4 - 8 weeks post-op
No visible signs of blood since March 31
Urine flow sprays if my bladder is not full and streams when very full.
Stopped, Cell Salts, April 1st. They increased the time to start a stream to around 30 seconds on my night time bathroom trips.
The cell salts contained antihistamines and pain relievers.
I believe the pain reliever helped reduce the trips to the bathroom and the antihistamine caused the delay in starting a stream.
Taking ibuprofen before bed is a common practice to reduce your bathroom trips, but it’s hard on your liver.

I take 400 mg Ibuprofen at night. Gets me 5-6 hours sleep before first pee.

Incorporating more red meat, instead of chicken, for the taurine and B vitamins.
Results:
- 4 hamburgers in one day, up 2 times that night
- 1 hamburger the next day, up 3 times on that night.
Short bouts of depression, around the 7 week post-op time frame, thru April 3.
I can definitely tell that my body is going thru some chemistry changes.
The depression may be my body reverting from a sympathetic (3 yrs of fight or flight) mode to a parasympathetic (rest and digest) mode.
