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.

You may want to ask your doctor about taking some iron supplements. I can't say for sure is they would deny surgery for low iron, sorry.

I am over two years out and still struggle with low iron. I take three iron pills per day, 35mg of iron in each. And this has nothing to do with heavy cycles.

My blood sugars started to go low and I would get light headed and no I am not or ever was diabetic.

I went through the same thing. Had kidney stone surgery and two visits for kidney stone blasting. No more infections though. Unfortunate but you will still need to see the urologist. I left mine too long and the stone got stuck in the tube between the kidney and bladder... Not good!

Add me if you like. I had gastric in November 2013 so I am a year and a half out.

I had gastric bypass in November 2013. I have lost 129 lbs. Now a size 9. Best thing I ever did for myself. I am now active and comfortable doing it. It is such a personal choice and someone will always know someone who may have had a bad experience. It is always a personal choice. You will know if it's right for you. I…

It's okay but remember not all changes happen overnight. I am still don't like it when my hubbie goes near the extra skin but always remember why you did this!!! For you and to be healthy so you can grow old with your husband and see your children mature and leave the nest. You got this!!!

I got the machine 8 months before my surgery and got rid of it 8 months after! With the weight loss I no longer required it. Everyone is different but you never know. And you will find you have more energy.

Your are beautiful!! Way to go

Premier Plus, Chocolate - 160 calories, 30g protein, 1g sugar, 2 net carbs

So sorry for you loss...give yourself a break. You'll get back on track.

Have you had your iron checked? I have been struggling with fatigue and just found out my iron is way too low!

You can buy these in ontario for a really good price from ecs coffee. Order online - great service! Brown sugar cinnamon and choc chip cookie dough are my favs

I hate it too!! I also have my calories set for 1200 but my daily food journal is showing 1531 or some similar number - so frustrating!

Premier protein shakes are THE best - chocolate is my fav! I found them at Costco. 30 grams of protein, 160 calories and only 2g or maybe 3 g of sugar.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I was in the hospital over the weekend too for my gallbladder. Yes it really sucks! Don't get down, remember why you are doing this. You have to develop a new love for food. I enjoy foods I never thought I would eat. Like red peppers - used to hate them, now I love them. Try new things it is really worth it. I make a new…
