Dub, I do hope you are being safe! That can be a bad addiction if you're not careful!

Yes lemon juice helps with certain types of kidney stones.
And tea has been found to cause certain types of stones.
I'm not sure what my 8mm stone was made of, but will find out more in 4 weeks. Just hate I have to have this stent in for that long.

No it's not a direct result from WLS because I had kidney stones 6 times before I had WLS in November.

I also LOVE gardening!!!

Most of us are (or have been) addicted to food, but what other addictions/ obsessions do you have?
I'll go first....
I'm addicted to/ obsessed with:
•constantly checking my phone throughout the night
•over-exercising
•buying new socks
•gardening
•cruising/vacationing
I'll try to think of more and add them later.

Thank you all so much. I'm still in a TON of pain even though I'm taking a pain pill every 4 hours.
I actually just passed another separate stone about an hour ago.
This is NO fun!!!!

Thank you all. It means a lot to have your care and support.

Thanks everyone. Out of surgery and in recovery. Being admitted to the hospital for monitoring.

Yum!!! That sounds delicious!!! Thanks for that bit of info.

Also finger nail polish! I have over 50 bottles and still have trouble finding the perfect color for my mood.

@@melyssafaye, thanks for taking my obsession to a new level. Just kidding.
I did know about baking Quest but keep forgetting to try it. Thanks for the reminder.

Take care...

Oh man I'm so sorry! That really sux. Hang in there.

I know I don't drink enough Water. That is something I've struggled with even before WLS. I think I need to start focusing more on it.
I appreciate everyone that has offered advice and concern. This is my 7th time with kidney stones and each time hurt like hell, but this time has been the worst due to the size, surgery, and stent.
I'm also still urinating a lot of blood and passing broken stones. I know it will get better in time, but anyone that has had kidney stones knows how awful they are and you want to feel better NOW!! LOL.

You may already know this, but if you slice up Qwest chocolate chip bars and bake on cookie sheet, they come out just like Cookies.
That might not have been helpful

food obsessions
-Perky Jerky (sweet and spicy) have to have it everyday.
-skinnypop popcorn, I usually have two cups a day
-Quest Protein bars, chocolate chip only.
Other obsessions
-online shopping, I challenged myself not to buy anything for the month of February. I failed, it only lasted about two weeks. I justify it by saying I'm paying cash instead of credit.
-interior decorating-a serious passion and lastly,
-flower gardening. I live in the Midwest so I only have a few months to enjoy this passion, May can't get here fast enough!

Mmmmmm, I love buying pretty new dresses and the accessories that go with them. Must. Stop.

coffee..... very dark with coffee mate and sugar ..... now splenda

No one has suggested it is WLS related. My urologist is curious about it and actually wants to do more tests on me. Anyway, it is known that drinking at least 2 liters of Water daily helps prevent them.
Ann is right, I gained 7#I think. It took 4 days after stent was removed to see weight drop.
OP probably will have a not so great month weight loss, but it's just temporary.
It does seem like an epidemic on these forums. I have been reading for 5 years and don't recall it coming up before the last month, so I think coincidental.
