Can you put lemon in your Water? I have a kidney stone and I read on the internet that if I put lemon in my water it helps break it up but I'm not sure if it's good for me. I've had this kidney stone for a week now and can't get it to move. Had a CT scan and it's small enough to pass but nothing is helping. I have drank so much water that I feel like I'm going to float!! :thumbup1:

All I want to do is get it to move and if lemon is a way to do it I want to try it but I don't want to upset my stomach either. Arrrgggghhhhh......

I was allowed to sqeeze lemon juice into Water and Decaf tea since day 1 of surgery. Are you planning on just using the juice or taking in pulp too?

I would say it is fine but whether or not you are going to have an upset tummy-well, that is a toss up. Some of the most bland things can upset mine, but then I can already add hot sauce to things and be fine. If you think it will help, I would try it.

a few days out of surgery i was told to put lemon in hot Water to break up mucus from sinus drainage in my stomach that can cause nausea. so i would say its probably ok, but whether or not it will upset your stomach, thats kinda a individual thing for everyone. i hate lemon, so i never tried it lol good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
