Hi all, I'm 3 months out today from gvs and doing great weight loss wise,
but have just had my second episode with kidney stones in 3 months.
Any one else experienced this?
It's not fun and I'm petrified to go thru that horrible pain again. I've been fortunate to pass them so far, but I'm worried about what the alternative.
My primary physician suggested I back off on the protein.
Duh what am I supposed to do now?

Lots of water. Make sure you are getting in at least 64oz a day. How much protein are you consuming? I think the minimum recommendation for most is 60-80g a day.0

I have had 10 stones in the last two years. It's not fun. They told me to have less animal protein, so I try to have a protein bar every day. I feel bad for you I know how horrible it is. And yes drink LOTS of water.0

Thanks Sunshine, I feel better knowing I'm not alone. Although I'm my condolences on your dilemma.
Murphyraven, I consume on average 50-60 grams of protein a day and drink 64ozs of water each and every day.
Maybe it's the raid change in diet or perhaps the increase in calcium thru green veggies and supplements.

Most likely it's from dehydration. I don't think you're able to eat, or absorb, enough to cause kidney stones. 50-60 gm of protein isn't considered high, imo.0
