Thanks @anonmike .

Yes, two liters was a surprise, but it was overnight about 8 hours when my urethra finally opened up and the fact that I was retaining so much water from I guess inflammation. My weight had gone up 6 pounds that I realized when I was on two extra holes of my watch strap. Then a couple of days later after that huge voiding night I lost about 3 pounds.

Before the procedure I would often have a hard abdomen even after voiding. That was the main reason I knew it was time to do something. My uncle who did nothing had infected ureters that they couldn’t fix for years. He eventually died of a kidney issue. That’s why not emptying your bladder can be dangerous if too much is left in there. Now I empty well and no hard abdomen.
