UTI 7 months post op

I am having recurring UTI's, any suggestions, I am a coffee drinker, and do not think I can give it up. But I drink water all day after my morning coffee. I have lots of skin in my lower belly and am wondering if my bladder has dropped or something like that. I have a 7 day cruise coming up and do not want these problems then! Any help would be appreciated! Lisa V

Hi Lisa, I am 4 weeks post-op and I ended up back in the hospital for 4 more days after I was home 2 days from my surgery. I had a UTI, the infection went into my kidneys and then spilled out into my blood stream, so needless to say I got to the ER just in time or I wouldn't be here posting this. Drink cranberry juice everyday. If you can't stand it put some in your water, but try to get in at least 8 ounces a day. This will neutralize your urine, so it's not so acidic. Hope this helps. Kathy
