Well after one hellova night I have slept most of the day today. The pain meds have really helped even though I REALLY don't want to take them!! I have to urinate in a strainer and I think I passed the whole stone. It was black and really hard but it was so small. I don't see how something so small can cause so much pain. I still haven't found anything about the way I eat and how to deal or prevent kidney stones; I'm still looking though.
I was hesitant about drinking my green smoothie today b/c of one thing I read was that the green smoothie causes stones and also it's what I puked up all night last night. Well I know my green smoothies are good for me so I went ahead and made one anyway. It made like 40 oz and I broke it up into 3 drinks instead of 2 like I usually do. I'm just going to sip on them all day.
I wish I could have waited till today so the stone would have passed to save a bunch of money on the ER bill with the Dr. and the lab work, the IV and the CT but I was on the floor with pain and didn't know what was wrong so I guess it's a good thing I went ahead.
Update: I've done really well today, no more pain and I've been able to eat normally and keep it down.
Today's Eats:
Tropical Smoothie (2c spinach leaves, 1 mango, 1 banana, 1c pineapple, 2c water)
80+ oz pure water
1 medium mixed green salad w/ 1/2 avocado, chopped mushrooms, chopped onions and braggs (I'm chilling out on the tomatoes too) w/ a handful of soaked almonds
1 serving of vegan spinach noodles w/ 9 roasted garlic triscuits and a small handful of veggie chips
In other words since I've slept so much today I have eaten my snacks and meals at the same time and only eaten 3 times today.
