Kidney stones

I just wanted to share with you my issues that I have the last couple of weeks. I had a female surgery done that is totally unrelated to my gastric bypass surgery. I started having cramps in the lower part of my left abdomen one Saturday night. I went to the ER and was treated for urinary infection. I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic that was given to me in the ER and was rushed through ambulance back to the hospital the following day.  I spent 24 hours in the hospital doing additional test to make sure that I didn't have any more problems. I came home and followed up with my regular primary care physician. Four days later I started having the same pain in my lower left abdomen. I drove myself to the hospital to the ER to see what was going on. Low and behold I have a kidney stone. Lesson learned: drink, drink, drink, and drink ,drink drink more water!!! I am supposed to follow up this Thursday with my gastric bypass doctor, hopefully by the end I will have pants this kidney stone! I came home this weekend and did some research, kidney stones can be affiliated with gastric bypass patients. The moral of the lesson learned is to make sure you getting your liquids because I know from now own I am and I will get mine in.

 It’s year 13 and I must pause to reflect, refocus, and keep moving forward.  Every year around this time I reflect upon how my gastric bypass has changed my life. Has it always been easy? “NOPE”‼️. However, I will continue to put one foot in the front of the other one and continue to move forward‼️

Lately my favorite veggie has been zucchini squash and yellow squash. I take  a little bit of olive oil,a little bit of salt and a little bit of pepper and sauté it... Yummy! I take the squash,and I put it in half cup containers. Therefore, I have my Veggies prepped for the week. Do you meal prep? It save me a lot of time, and also assist me in making healthy choices.

Weight gain

This week I have been off track, eating out due to vacation, not limiting portion sizes, not drinking all of my decaffeinated tea, coffee, and water. So this morning, I got up drank 8 ounces of water, took my vitamins, and headed to the gym. I am going to call this: # operation HELL no move that scale!!!! I have gained 5 pounds! I am sure is water and sodium retention! However, I am back on track. I will: drink at least 64 oz of water, up my protein intake, get in all my vitamins, and measure my portions. I will not eat out all week! #operationHELLnomove that scale is in full effect.
