I was sleeved on June 30th. Monday I experienced my first kidney stone. That was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Not sure how I got one, but I have read that you are more likely to get them after this type of surgery. Probably with change in diet, and not drinking enough Water. So please make sure you drink plenty of water so this does not happen to you. Please let me know if anyone has had or can explain why I got one.

It probably has more to do with your old diet than anything. Soda and antacids(Tums, Rolaids) will do it to ya

I had a kidney stone at age 18 with terrible surgery, and never another one. No one could tell me why I got one. I know more men than women who have had stones. Not sure it was from the sleeve. Thank God for laser surgery on them today, but it is the worst pain on earth.

A male friend of mine got kidney stones several times (4 that I know of) They finally figured out it was all the Gatorade and other sports drinks he was consuming. He hasn't had a single one since switching to plain Water.< /p>

Actigall or Ursodiol is commonly prescribed in the US post gastric sleeve for those with a gall bladder. Usually recommended for 6 months. Not sure if any Mexico surgeons prescribe it

I don't think these do anything for kidney stones

      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.
