Hi Daryl!
I went 4 1/2 years between stones...and didn't start having
them until I was 50.
I'm not sure who's the winner here! <bseg>
Umm, refilling the five gallon jug you're drinking from?! I do have a BM>concern for drinking too much water -- just like everything too much is BM>bad as is too little.
Water intoxication - when you drink too much water
Therefore, in order to avoid hyponatremia symptoms, you should not
drink more than 27-33 ounces (0.8-1.0 liters) of water per hour, on
average (14). Many reported cases of water intoxication result from
drinking large amounts of water in a short period of time.
How do I know if I drank too much water?
I don't think you're at a danger level but might be getting close; just BM>copied in the above as things to be aware of. ...And you haven't BM>mentioned it but water is in other items besides water: popsicles,
fruits (watermelon!), etc.

them until I was 50.
I would've been, had I still not had any. But, they are
hereditary, and once you've had one, you're subject to having
more.

Actually, I have several 1 liter bottles of flavored water, and
at least 3 12 packs of flavored water...peach, black cherry, and strawberry flavored. No sugar or calories in any of it.

I'm serfectly pober, ocifer. I'm not as think as you drunk I
am, not under the alcfluence of incohol <HIC!> :P

Well, when I go out, I usually drink a Coca-Cola or Doctor
Pepper to get my caffeine fix. But, if I stay home, it's flavored
water only. Sometimes, the lack of caffeine, I think, brings on headaches...just like tension.
How do I know if I drank too much water?
I have to go to the orifice regularly. <G>

I am still looking for the "personal watermelon" or "seedless watermelon". Chilled watermelon sounds really good on a hot
summer day.

'Hereditary' or 'genetic'? Agree if had once will more than likely have BM>them again.
I'm in the phase currently of coffee in the morning and then iced water BM>the rest of the day. Pretty much my base routine. Winter I'll add hot BM>tea - last winter was usually green tea but have had regular and BM>flavoured teas. Past years have added some flavourings to my water:
plop in a tea bag (green or flavoured), dash of lemon juice. I haven't BM>looked for flavoured waters.
As the officer eyes suspiciously your 'water on the rocks'! (Water with BM>ice.) Probably no potential issues with water intoxication, just BM>something to be aware of with high intakes.
Some people do have caffeine withdrawal symptoms. Or the jolt of BM>caffeine included with some aspirins makes them feel better faster by BM>re-introducing the caffeine.

Worse would be drinking water while urinating!!
My Hy-Vee (regional grocery store) offers chunks/hunks of watermelon -- BM>half, quarters, smaller. Also offers larger plastic cups (pints,
quarts) of bite-sized mixed summer fruits.
My Mother will freeze banana slices, grapes (removed from the stem) and BM>nibble on the frozen fruits. Suppose could do the same for watermelon, BM>strawberries, and other fruits, just cut into bite-size pieces. (For me BM>the frozen fruit is OK but I prefer mine chilled or room temperature.)

Not sure which was the better choice of words. But, with my
mind spinning faster than an EF-5 tornado the last 2 weeks, in
the aftermath of my urinary bladder stone surgery, plus my Mom's
death and funeral, I'm surprised I know which was is up anymore.

I never acquired a taste for coffee. I used to drink ice tea
and Gatorade by the bucketful. When I see the urologist in a
surgery followup next week, I'm going to try to find out what I
can eat and drink that won't give me problems. I really don't
want to take Lasix every day...because that means I have to pee
every 5 minutes.

Or, you're using actual rocks, which means you're stoned. <G>

I need to look for that the next time I'm grocery shopping. We
had a 1 hour power outage here earlier today (I wasn't here at
the time...I was at a local restaurant for the "mourners meal"
after my Mom's funeral, and was notified via my cellphone of the
outage. At least the outage wasn't more than that...so, with the
icebox doors staying closed, the food shouldn't have been
affected.

Opposite direction things fall! <g>
I'd be interested to find out too, though admittedly probably not BM>changing too much. Also depends on the composition of the stone -- mine BM>are calcium oxylate.
As for coffee, my start was because of a mistake my Mother made. Early BM>evening she'd make instant coffee for herself and Dad, and tea for me.
We each had our own distinctive mugs. One night Dad was doing
paperwork, so would have his coffee later, and somehow my Mother poured BM>his mug and gave it to me. I knew immediately wan't tea -- "oh drink it BM>anyway" type of comment and that's how I got started on coffee. (Not a BM>mean comment, just more 'well going to drink coffee eventually so may as BM>well get started'.)

As long as those stones aren't from the bladder!!
Yes, I've attended post-funeral luncheons. Haven't heard it called a BM>"mourner's meal" but makes sense.
The fruit cups might be a good change of pace for breakfast or lunch.
I'd probably get a large one and eat a portion as opposed to the snack- BM>sized options which are probably more expensive. ...Or 'splurge' on a BM>small container of pineapple chunks and add that to the large container BM>of fruit. :)

The one thing that has fallen has been my pants...even with
adding holes to the belt. Had I not been wearing Depends, it
would've been "Full Moon Rising". <G>
I'd be interested to find out too, though admittedly probably not

are calcium oxylate.
From what I understand, here's a list of food and drink that
have oxylates:
Oxalate is a compound found in some foods, and it is also
produced as a waste product by the body. It exits the body
through the urine. Too much oxalate may cause kidney stones in
some people.
Foods high in oxalate include:
Beans
Beer
Beets
Berries
Chocolate
Coffee
Cranberries
Dark green vegetables, such as spinach
Nuts
Oranges
Rhubarb
Soda (cola)
Soy beans
Soy milk
Spinach
Sweet potatoes
Tea (black)
Tofu
Wheat bran

I like the smell of it brewing, but not the taste. A new
Starbucks Coffee opened in west Little Rock recently, at the site
of a former Dunkin' Donuts...but I'm not into expensive drinks. Ironically, the former Krispy Kreme Donuts place, just a block
away, shut down as well. Shipley's is now the main donut store in
the Little Rock area.
Yes, I've attended post-funeral luncheons. Haven't heard it called a
"mourner's meal" but makes sense.
We didn't have one set up at the funeral home, but went to this
area restaurant afterwards. I took my brother into consideration
for a lot of the plans for that...as I do with all my friends, I
consider their needs before mine.
The fruit cups might be a good change of pace for breakfast or lunch.
I'd probably get a large one and eat a portion as opposed to the snack-
sized options which are probably more expensive. ...Or 'splurge' on a
small container of pineapple chunks and add that to the large container
of fruit. :)
I was told that's something I need to avoid. But, I've got a
follow-up with him on Wednesday afternoon...so, I'm going to rack
his brain.
