Well, as you know I had a really tough ride with my new kidney. That's why I'm paying more attention to everything connected wit my new kidney. I drink a lot but then I'm very nervous if I do not pee immediately. Also my weight varies from one day to another.
I'm afraid I'll become slave of my kidney.
So, my question is this, is it possible if you constantly worry about not peeing enough that then you actually do not pee so much?

Just being post tx I understand the paranoya. I myself don't always pea right away, but as long as my numbers are good I'm not going to worry. I have an issue where I weigh about 2 pounds more in the evening then when I get up in the morning, the nurse told me that was normal so I will leave it at that, also do you still have  your iv fluid on? I had about 10 pounds of weight on when I left the hospital but that was do to iv fluids which about a week or so I was back down to my "dry weight"
