One thing about having a catheter is that it does seem to dehydrate you quite easily. Also, one of the causes of Urinary Tract Infections can be dehydration, so while I am on the catheter I am drinking and drinking. 

Each day I am having 2 pots (about 700ml each) of low or no caffeine tea, plus a couple of litres of very weak squash (enough to give the water some flavour). Add to that soup, and a bedtime drink (which I have been able to reinstate now that I don't have to get up multiple times in the night) and I am doing my best not to get dehydrated!
