Kidney stones
I drink crystal light daily and am still getting them! I still haven't passed them and I'm miserable. It's my weekend to work and I'm barely making it through. 12 hours on your feet with kidney stone pain is the worst! Thanks all!

Kidney stones
Dr said she has seen this happen to pt that have had WLS. I have to have another CT scan done to see how many stones are left. She may have to go in and get them. She advised me to drink more water. She said it could be the extra protein in my diet causing them. I just want this to be over!!

Kidney stones
I don't drink any Gatorade or soda. Only water and crystal light. Maybe it is just the rapid weight loss. I read that a high protein can cause kidney stones.

Kidney stones
Anyone suffer with kidney stones after the sleeve? I'm 7 months out and I'm having my second bout with kidney stones in 2 weeks. Have never had them before. The pain is horrible. I'm seeing a urologist tomorrow. My fellow nurse co workers think it's all the protein I consume.

Scale obsession
I go back and forth. I try to do twice a week but sometimes it's more. I stay off completely around my period. I've become obsessed with the scale at different parts of this. It's not a good thing! Ideally, I would like to weigh once a week until I hit my goal but I get too curious during the week.

How many of you continue the shakes in your diet after many months after surgery?
I still have 1 every day. Usually in the morning when I get to work or if I'm off I have one right after I exercise.

Drivers License picture
I had to make a copy of mine yesterday and was amazed at how fat I looked! My license expires in June and I'll definitely be taking a new pic. I have to give my license when I go to my kids school and there was a lady at the desk who is not the regular secretary. She kept looking at the license and looking at me. I could tell she wanted to ask me but she didn't.
