Started high fruit a week ago about. Back is feeling better. Taking it slow. No sudden extreme diet changes. Maybe 200 to 500 calories from fruit a day to start. Also jogged monday, wednesday and friday for 80 minutes total and no sciatica pain.

On thursday I started eating fruit and that made a huge difference with kidney stone issue. Previously the percoset had turned my insides into concrete. Had made the mistake of trying to eat a grilled cheese sandwich on wednesday. Left me incredibly bloated. (My ultimate comfort food from my childhood.) (The only thing I could cook as a kid and no one else did much cooking.) (Stupid thing to try to eat but all the pain and pain meds has me not thinking too well and wife drops the ball occasionally.)

Thankfully have found that eating fruit and taking advil works wonders. I had been worried I wasn't going to make it between the severe pain and not being able to eat. Now less pain, and GI system is getting back to normal. Advil does far more for my pain than percoset. Far, far more. Not even to mention it doesn't turn my insides to concrete. Quite happy now that it looks I'm going to survive till my next surgery.
