Well done with the water San. I know how difficult it is to keep on drinking when it feels like the biggest effect is making you spend all the time in the toilet.

I really cannot exaggerate how scared I was when Rod had to have his first (of five) operations two years ago when his BMI was 62... He was in major agony and there was no choice over it since one kidney was fully blocked and the other was also very blocked. Having gone through that - it is no surprise that I think that water drinking is pretty important for us all. We don't know that there is a problem the first time - until it is an emergency - because the pain didnt start until it was blocked.

Yeah, with all the medication I'm on right now, there's even more strain on the kidneys, so I really want to keep it up. I KNOW it's a good thing, even if there are no immediate rewards, so to speak. Not having to go through what Rod had to go through (which sounds horrible) is reward enough! I had a friend who had a kidney stone, just a small one, and she was in pure agony over that. she's a tough person who deal really well with pain, and to see her curled up in a ball crying and saying 'I can't take this anymore, just do something!' was very sobering. So with a full blockage...I can only imagine. :( So yeah, the water bit stays with me for sure. I might go down a little bit if/when my weight drops a little further, but I will probably keep it at at least 3l / day.

Oh, and I got a point. Yay for vegetable rice. I just make a little bif of rice, then throw handfuls of vegetables of various kinds in (whatever is there). Gives the illusion of having a large amount of rice, without most of the calories.

I must admit that I was really twitchy yesterday morning when Rod started talking about having a pain to one side of his back... That was how it all started last time - before it turned to agony...

He had an x-ray at the start of December and his specialist told him that there is another one which is currently small so he should try to lose as much weight as he can and drink lots of water before an appointment in June - but go to A&E if he gets symptoms... When the pain started I needed to dig out the letter and see which kidney has the stone - but luckily it was the other side...

When his contract came to an end - we decided that it would be best if he comes out walking or doing other exercise with me every day and we try to eat sensibly together...

That's brilliant with the vegetable rice San.
I find home made soup can be a good way of having vegetables especially in winter.

Also - I would be lost if I couldnt have my baked beans... I love them and they are amazing for cholesterol levels... They are cheap too...
