Kidney Stone Removal Surgery- donations!

I wonder if drinking only water can prevent the stones.

No but they say lemonade will do the trick. Any kind of lemonade including from the machine. It was the first thing I drank when I got out of the hospital.

I just woke up from a deep sleep throwing up though so lemonade is out of the question right now. Ugh!

Most water has some mineral salts in it, so that doesn't work 100%. Honestly, some physical body makeup deals with different salt and minerals differently and as my Dr told me at about twenty-five, your kidneys are stone makers.

I only drink just filtered water and that can help you if you are constantly hydrated. I don't know whats going on with me right, I keep falling asleep and when I get up I start throwing up. Hopefully, it's just from the pain, I can't seem to keep the pain pills down today so it's pointless to keep taking them.
 
Desire ... I think your throwing up is side effect of pain killer(s). Wish you speedy recovery.
Thanks FT for info. I probably have some 'stones' already, but I don't feel the pain yet!

Thanks tuc0, I was thinking that's what it was too. It just sucks when you're in a lot of pain and can't take your pain meds! hehe... took a phengran earlier and ate some soup and now I'm feeling much better. I think I might even try to play cs for a round or two. :)

p.s I HOPE you don't have any stones!! They are considered more painful than having a baby! And I can only imagine how much it would hurt for a man to pee them outta that small hole :p

Desiree, yah... soup, comfort food, and time ... hang in there... it's all downhill now. hmmmm... about the peepee hole. Me thinks male and female have same hole size but not length, normally. Whenever I'm sick, I try to sleep as much as I can, or just stay in bed. Nowadays, prolly better to be active to not give you chance to think too much about it. All you really need is time.
 
I read a recent study about a build up of vitamin K causing kidney stones. The source of the vitamin K? Too much raw spinach. I don't get spinach at Subway anymore :( It'll never happen, but I'm too scared...!
 
Yes, a lot of people blame the chemical that makes your teeth feel funny in the creation of kidney stones. Oxalic acid or something like that. Spinach teeth is why I stopped eating raw spinach but I guess its also is bad for your kidneys too.

I guess I need to in take more water. Water3 meat me at my house tomorrow.
 
I have to stay away from high oxlate foods, spinach is one of them. But there is a huge list of things that I can't eat. Peanuts and chocolate? My favorite candy bar is snickers! :(

I'm supposed to also stay away from bread, any kind. And potatoes.

At least I can still have bacon and red meat!!! :)
