just broke the 100 mark
I am official down over 100 lbs today. Now the bad part, I have a few kidney stones that are still in me, and on Saturday I passed one, went to the hospital and they gave me a liquid morphine ( yah) and pain went away, and gave my a pill for pain and one for flomax to shrink the prostate and help me pass the stone. Told Dr. about my surgery and since I started taking flomax my stomach has felt sick and blah. Just read online that should be taken 30 minutes after meals. Dr and pharmacist both said take daily nothing about empty or full stomachs. This is the first time taken medicine since surgery in October
Congrats on your achievement!

Congratulations! Sorry you've got the kidney stone problem. Ouch. I imagine that going forward it may make sense to check with your centre when prescribed any new meds. A hassle, but the safest?
