Water & Cathater: Please ask your doctor about getting a bigger bag. Water is good for us and you do not want to become dehydrated. Peace and healing.

Food for thought: Your body tends to average your fluid intake over days at a time and create urine at an consistent rate every hour. Your effort to decrease intake to slow output might work for beer drinking party goers but should have little effect on your output. It is best you remain properly hydrated 24/7 and work out the details with your doc.
