All the joys of giving birth but through a straw. 

Seriously though, sorry that happened to you.

Is it possible to remove kidney stone, without pissing it outside? Like some meds, or something? I'm sorry for you Zak.

I was told the only way they can be removed is if they are to big for the tube. Then they will go up into you  and remove them or use a sonic blast to smash them up to tiny bits to be passed later. You will not die from passing a stone but BROTHER you feel like it, no foolin its the worst pain I have ever felt. All in total I passed 4 stones, this is why it is sooo important we take care of our selves and also why soda is the devil. I don't drink alcohol or smoke but I did eat or I did eat a lot of red meat. High Uric acid levels are what caused my issues.

[Xathrodox86]

Damn, that sounds scary and painful as hell. Good that it's over now Zak.

It's raining in the U.K?

[Finlay]

Exceptionally dry April and may.
Exceptionally wet start to June, at least in the south West.

So I just got back from the doctor. My liver is in tatters. I need to completely drop my eating habits and definetly stop drinking. No fried food, no raw vegetables and fruit, no sweets, no alcohol and no coffee and strong tea. I've got so much fat on my liver that it's not funny anymore. Looks like this is my wake up call. Time to get out of this mess, that I've gotten myself into.

So I just got back from the doctor. My liver is in tatters. I need to completely drop my eating habits and definetly stop drinking.

Time to get out of this mess, that I've gotten myself into.

That's a hell of a list! When I got out of the hospital I weighed 220 lbs - my perfect weight for 6'5" apparently. I had lost almost 30 lbs.
I gave up nominal drinking and now drugs and smoking are definitely gone ( not that I indulged anyway but know I don't have a choice)
And above all it was sugar that was the source of all the crimes against the body. I keep getting this mixed up but I think it's fructose that can't be absorbed by the body so it is neatly surrounded by fat and stored away. This is the major source of fat of all time. Sugar can be named many things and sometimes appears 4 or 5 times on an ingredient list without realization. Pure poison and almost impossible to give up. Unfortunately I've gained back 35 lbs again and it sucks! AnywAy long story short - if you can kill off the sugar intake, most everything will come back. (Totally unprofessional opinion but I've proved it on myself 😺)

[Xathrodox86]

Yeah, I can't do sugar anymore. What's weird is that I can't eat sweets, but I can eat fruit marmalade and jams. I also need to drop salt.

The worst thing is coffee. I know that tea can be a stimulant, but for me it's not working and I can only drink very weak tea anyway. No strong tea for me, no siree.

I also need to get to excersise again. My gut is swollen, my shoulders form a neat arrowhead and my arms are like twigs. Christ, some mess I've gotten myself into...

This - since my 'incident' last October I try to do 3 sessions every week - the highlight is an hour of Walking Football as I enjoy team sports.
Currently I back it up with a couple of sessions in the gym which is not that enjoyable, but necessary.

Slowly losing the lbs but slow and steady is the way to keep it off.

[Gankom]

If we're commiserating about our exercises I'll join in. Mine is coming from the other end. My family has always been on the slim side, and after a few health problems I'm what they call dangerously underweight.  Also because of the health stuff I have to do 2 hours of phsyio therapy a week and hour and a half of workout everyday. The workouts are pretty grueling, but also don't help to put on weight sadly. So I'm in a constant seesaw of putting on weight, only to lose it from all the exercising.

I give nothing but props for everyone who can stay with a routine. It's something I find difficult just sticking with it.

[Fidelis von Sigmaringen]

Have you tried a fast food diet?

[Gankom]

I sure did! Surprisingly the doctors and so called health people seem more concerned about getting the 'right' stuff into me, instead of 'anything' or 'that garbage'.

Pretty sure the office dietician would flip out if I suggested big macs every day all day.

[Xathrodox86]

Tommorow it's my first running session in a long time. Then hitting that gym, like nobody's buisness. You're a dead man, live fat.

[Midaski]

Don't go at it stupidly too hard - you need to build it up slowly or you will have a problem. 

[Xathrodox86]

Yeah, I know. But I'm angry at myself for doing so much harm to my body.

[Midaski]

You are not alone though.

There are almost daily reports saying that loads of countries have huge unhealthy / obesity problems.

I can remember 30 years ago when a local orthopaedic surgeon refused to operate on patients who smoked, and the PC brigade stared squealing.
Now it is close to the same thing with overweight people - if you have something that needs an operation the risks are much much greater, and some docs are saying lose weight first if the op is not immediately life threatening.

If it is life threatening then your chance aren't as good.

@ Xath - my sugar rant was inspired by a pot calling the kettle black. In honour of your immense change in lifestyle, I will in fact do away with sugar in coffee and cereal. My decent into self imposed hell begins....NOW! First morning coffee without sugar 😾

You honor me Artoban. I thank you for that grand gesture and hope that it will improve your health as well.

@Midaski: Oh yeah, I know that all too well. Too much easy living and too much not giving a crap can do horrible things to your body. We have a big obesity problem here in Poland. Some awarness is needed to combat this plague, me thinks.
