Woke up at 6:00 am and tried to ride it out but the pain increased to being intolerable. I was vomiting due to the pain at least eight times prior and at the hospital and I never get sick that way. There was nothing in my stomach so that wasn't as bad as it could've been. I haven't had a kidney stone episode in 6 or 7 years.

When the CAT scan confirmed the stone and urine results indicated how dehydrated I was, the nurse said I had been that way for awhile due to not getting enough fluids. I'm two months post op. Let this be a lesson to me. :(

Spent my Thanksgiving in bed sleeping on prescriptions. And my thank you for this holiday is toradol taking me out of such pain, and a huge reminder to increase my fluids.

BLESS YOUR HEART!!!! Been there, a couple times this year. My experience was similar, minus the vomiting. But, I was miserable with pain. The ER doc gave me a shot of demerol every 30 minutes, and phentermine too. I came home on Percocets, ad slept for 3 days. A couple months later, while we were on vacation, I got sick with the stones again, on top of that, I was impacted! TERRIBLE day! We had to leave Animal Kingdom early, so I could go home and go to bed. Make sure you get your daily intake of water...it is so important! Try your best to pass those stones,and take it easy! Sending prayers!!

Thank you both!!!

I was impacted two weeks post op and can't imagine the pain you must have gone through with the combination of both kidney stones and that!!! You must have been miserable!

I never vomit and to be honest, before going to the hospital, the only relief my body got, if it could be said, was attempting to pee or when I got sick. I think it was because of my body using pressure in other areas which somewhat relieved the pain. If that makes sense.

I don't have a UTI very often and don't typically have the symptoms so I feel for you having that!!

Sad as its been to be in bed today, Ive caught up on rest (I work two jobs) and am sooo relieved to be out of pain and will be drinking more!

Im so sorry you had to go thru kidney stone pain. I had my first kidney stone 11/8 and it was the worst pain Ive ever experienced in my life. Im preop (surgery date Dec 5) so Im going to be obsessive about getting my Water in to try to minimize getting another one. Ive never felt pain like that in my whole life.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
