KIDNEY STONE WARNING

Well after an excruciating last Friday, I no longer have the stone. It was 7mm x 5 mm which I guess was pretty big from what doc said. Also believes it is from mixing so much caffeine in the crystal light tea and increased milk drinking the combination is not good. Just a little insight. It was more painful than having children or even recovering from WLS surgery!!! Take care all and have a good Thursday!

Gotta drink lots of water too. My surgeon said NOT drinking 64 oz of water a day and eating large quantities of protien would cause kidney stones too. Glad you are feeling better. ~L~

Leslea, So glad that it has passed. Sorry that you had so much pain. Thanks for the warning! God bless, Andrea

Hi Leslea, I am glad to hear you past the stone. I have heard they are extremely painful. What were your other symtoms so that we know what to watch or feel for. Thanks have a good day!

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Dad had a kidney stone years ago, thought he was going to die on us, it was just that painful. Nothing to mess with. Thanks for posting a warning, these are things we just don't think about. Carolyn 4/20/04 265/193/150

I wonder why milk would contribute to kidney stones???? Sounds weird....right after surgery for a good 6-8 months milk made me sick....Now I drink it a lot, actually kind of crave it really!!! I don't want kidney stones......did you have to have it taken out or did you pass it out? Did they break it up with laser stuff?? I am glad you are feeling better, is there anything we can do to prevent them? Did you want to paly 20 questions....lol!!! Sorry~Take Care Jesi
