Anyone had issues with gout?

Surgery was 70 days go and everything has been great. Losing weight, eating well, drinking water. Then I get gout. I've had it or several years, but only have flare ps 2x a year that only last a day or two. This time it as way different. Two weeks later, two different prescriptions, foot swollen couldn't even put my shoe on. Finally dr ave me prednisone. Swelling is own nearly a week later but till painful. I'm sure it's the high protein and fish.   Anyone else suffering? Ideas?

How do I know how much to eat?

I am eight days post-op and healing really great. But I am really worried about how much I'm supposed to be eating or drinking on phase II. When I have cream of chicken soup, should I have 4 or 8 ounces? Protein shake, 4 or 8 ounces? Pudding, 1/2c or 1/4c. They say let your body tell you when. Bad news, I haven't been able to feel a cue from my gut in a lot of years! I feel like I'm starving, but am scared to death to eat too much and ruin this really costly surgery I just paid for . Any suggestions would be awesome!!

Surgery Tomorrow

So tomorrow's the big day. Started the liquid diet yesterday and surprisingly it's not too hard. Bet it will be more difficult in three weeks. Still nervous, but becoming more resigned to the fact everything is going to change. I have read and planned as much as humanly possible. Now it's time to walk the walk. Praying I will be strong enough to make this a life long change. Can be scary sometimes when my support group is full of people who have gained weight back from bypass and lapband. I've been thinking about seeing a counselor to deal with some of the emotional aspects of WLS. I just really want this so bad. Now that some family and friends know I'm going to this extreme, what if I screw this up. What if I miss having birthday cake or my mom's famous fried chicken or my sister's potato salad. I know I sound like an idiot or at least like an addict, but sometimes it's so scary to think I won't have my favorite foods again. OMG, I'm such an addict. Maybe these thoughts are why I need surgery .
