    Sunday OMAD was Chinese, Icecream and mini p.b. cups and peanut M&Ms

    Monday OMAD was a Tuna Wrap

    Tuesday OMAD was an Egg, Pizza, Icercream, peanut M&Ms and p.b cups

    Today's OMAD was a Big Turkey Salad with French Fries

    I have to start eating better and by better I mean cut back on the sweets 😋

    Way to go on the weight and the taco’s look awesome. Loving having other OMAD planners to do this with. We’ll be feeling so good in a size less in no time. Can’t wait.

    So last night after I ate I started getting really bad stomach pains and thought maybe it was food poisoning. I took ibuprofen and within an hour I was throwing up 🤢 I was in pain the rest of the night and when the pain went into my back I knew I had a Kidney Stone. This morning decided I had enough and my hubby took me to the hospital and they hooked me up to an IV which took 4 attempts ughh the pain from that was almost worse than the pain from the Stone. They sent me for a cat scan and my Stone is 8×5 mm 😯 which is too big to pass on it's own so next week I will be having a Stent put in. Hopefully they will be able to retrieve it and I will finally know what kind of Stone it is and be able to take meds to stop them from forming 🤞

    Omg, I am so sorry to hear this Brenda. The positive side is that they are taking care of you and getting closer to solving it hopefully. I’m thinking of you and hope the pain is being managed for you. Sending hugs.

    So while they were putting my Stent in they ended up pushing the stone back into my kidney which the doctor said was OK. So in a couple of weeks I will go back and they will use a laser to break up the Stone and hopefully retrieve pieces of the stone to be analyzed. I'm in alot if pain but they said it should be better within a couple days. I hope you all are doing good 💜

    I went back into surgery to have my kidney stone lasered and they removed my Stent before the procedure and inserted another one after. This one was in for only one week thank God because it was so painful. I could hardly even move without having any pain and I had such urgency that I could barely hold my urine in. When they finally took the Stent out the pain was gone instantly and urgency only lasted a couple more days. I caught the pieces of stone and had them analyzed and they are Calcium Oxalate. I also had a 24 hour urine test and after those results came back I was told to eat a low oxalate, sodium and sugar diet along with eating 1200 mg. Of Calcium. In order to get the Calcium it has to be in food and not pills. I cannot eat all 1200 mg at one time because our bodies only absorb 400 to 500 mgs at a time so I need to split it up over 8 hours.

    So I'm sad to say that I won't be able to eat OMAD anymore 😢

    Glad to hear that you are A-OK and the pain is gone. Forget about OMAD as health comes first <3 You can always do the mini meals which is good for weight loss and also a way to get your calcium in for the whole day. We just need to take care of our health 1st. So, don't be sad. We love ya and always here for ya <3
