I produce kidney stones. Alot lately. I am scheduled for July 3rd and would like to know how you guys handle drinking 6-8 glasses of Water per day. Do I understand correctly that you need to wait one hour after eating? I want to be successful!! Any advise is appreciated.

Also, I wonder if anyone has had lithotripsy and had a lapband in place?

I am lucky, I guess, because I love water, and don't have a problem drinking that much water. But yes, you do have to wait at least an hour after eating to drink anything. That was really hard for me, because I was so used to drinking a big glass of tea or water with my meals. The thing is, if you drink during a meal, or too soon after, it will wash the food through your pouch, and not allow it to sit there and digest slowly, keeping you full, like it should. Good luck.
