They are seeing if the stones moved, passed or what they are doing

. Every time I see the doctor they say I look healthy. He said i look to good to have stones!? I maybe I don't wear the pain on my face. I have been in misery. At one point I thought being dead would be better than to continue to endure the pain. It's bad pain. I do NOT want to die, but the pain it's something else.

I was walking around with my leak. The doctor said there was no way I had a leak. I looked to healthy and I would be going home in an hour. Next thing I was rushed away for surgery.

:( well **** why did they go to med school if they have the ability to just look at someones face and can tell if something's wrong ! Idiot...

Don't mind them you know your body. And I think you have a very high pain tolerance. I would of felt like packing it in with much less!

Hang in there.

Hi!!

Things have been real rough. I had the two stents for six weeks. They were very hard to live with. The pain was unreal and lots of vomiting. I was going to day treatment everyday for five hours to get hydrated' date=' medication and nutrients. I am trying to learn to nourish my body by mouth. I still Go to day treatments, but every other day. I had my PICC line out. Now I have a mid line on place.

I was hospitalized again after the stents because Fluid had collected on my heart. So I was in the cardiac unit for a while. I have never had high blood pressure, but suddenly do.

My body is very sensitive to antibiotics. So I had to meet a infectious disease dr who would have access to strong enough antibiotics to treat the infection from the leak. I took these drugs for two weeks in the hospital and came home on them.

My body is very very weak. It's hard to walk up or down stairs. I keep trying, but my legs feel so heavy and ache. Like on the verge of Charlie horse.

Other stuff has gone on. Last week my surgeon told me I was asking stupid questions. I don't think I can handle anyone who isn't supportive. Kidney function was too low for a while. It's coming back.

I have lost a total of 60 pounds, but when I feel so emotional and crazy these numbers don't matter.

I will be allowed to have puréed foods when I no longer vomit and I can prove that I am able to get in 64 oz of Water a day and 85 g of Protein orally with no help. Not sure when this will be. I try so hard, but don't get too far. I get sick when I consume so its hard to get fluids and protein.

Things are progressing at a slow rate. Some days are better than others. I am really feeling lost and broken. Not sure what to do with myself.

How has your journey been? Did you have a leak?

Best,

Samnah[/quote']

Oh my God!!! I can't believe 1) all you've been through and 2) what a huge b*tch your surgeon must be. I never use that word but I want to find her and yell at her for talking to you like that! Unbelievable.

Honey you are so strong to be surviving this; the pain and frustration and lack of support. You must be an amazing person!

Really?? Did they say they are small enough to pass on their own?

I passed a smaller stone and I think it was two days ago when I thought dying was a good option. They say I can pass them. Take the meds and follow up with the nephrologist. Blah. What a waste of time.

      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.
