Hello fellow members:

Anyone have trouble with kidney stones post op? I produce Calcium oxalate stones. At one point I was passing one a month. Ive since gone down to one every 6-8 weeks. Anyone else the same problem? Ive seen numerous specialist, tried a bunch of treatments with no help. The common theme was drink more Water... as most of us know is very difficult at 3-4 months post-op. Some of my treatments include Potassium Citrate, diruetics, mass doses of calcium and of course lots of Water.

The majority are small stones... 5-8 mm but they still hurt like a b****. Ive had larger ones.

I passes 4-5 stones in the years prior to surgery, immediately after surgery i started passing every month. I was warned that that may be the case but chose GBP anyway and would still chose it if given the choice today.

Anyone in the same boat as me??

I have a YouTube vid of my journey if anyones interested. Look thru my profile.

I work for a urologist, google calcium OX. Diet. And yes most of the stones your are getting are due to dehydration. I get uric acid stones from to much Protein... Stones suck, didn't very one till last year and thought I was dying. Id have more kids before I ever pass another stone.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
