Reply to "5 weeks post takedown... Odd peeing question. Plz help"

I am 8 years out, it took my body 2 years plus to adjust to standing up and peeing and then not having a BM afterwards or at the time. It isn't something that is immediate, it takes time, and I am betting everyone is different on recoup times as well. Hydration levels are key here, being consistent, watching your intake and when you drink are now PARAMOUNT to your recovery, and maintaining the ability to be stable. I had to create a regimen where I take in at least at a minimum of 60 oz of electrolyte fluids, not just water. Ice tea doesn't count. If you drink just water, it will flush out your needed salts and you will feel tired all of the time. Why is all of the relevant? It helps with recouperating and keeps you out of the ER for dehydration. I hope the best for you, and please be patient with your body, but keep trying. Go standing up, even if you know it might fail, one day you will see, it won't matter so much Good luck!!
