Good morning OH friends,

I am 7 months post op. Since my surgery, I have found dairy foods to be my best friend. Even now, I joke with people that I survive because of the dairy case. Milk, yogurt, and cheese are the staples of my diet. I do eat an egg for breakfast, some meat and veggies for dinner, and some fruit in a smoothie each day, but the rest is dairy. My milk of choice is Fairlife for the higher protein and calcium content. 

My question is, am I putting myself at risk of a kidney stone with all of the dairy foods that I am. Eating?  Aren't kidney stones formed of calcium?  If so, what can I do to decrease my risk?  I'm not particularly interested in changing my diet. I am happy with what I am eating. Dairy foods are yummy and convenient, and I have lost over 100 lbs doing what I'm doing. I'm looking more for ideas for supplements that help prevent kidney stones. 

TIA!
